At Lux-Case, we’re passionate about offering accessories that make life with your smartphone more convenient, stylish, and functional. While cases and screen protectors will always be essentials, we’ve noticed that one particular accessory has been gaining traction recently: phone lanyards. Whether you’re someone who’s always on the go, or just looking for a way to make carrying your phone a bit easier, a phone lanyard might be the perfect solution.

But not all lanyards are created equal. Phone lanyards come in two main types: built-in lanyards that are attached directly to the case, and universal lanyards, which can be added to any case using a handy anchor mechanism. Let's explore these two options, and most importantly, dive into the benefits of using a phone lanyard.

Check out our phone lanyards, and find the perfect option for you.

Built-In lanyard vs. Universal lanyard: what’s the difference?

Before we dive into the perks of using a phone lanyard, it’s important to understand the differences between the two types available.

Built-In lanyard cases: These cases come with a lanyard integrated directly into the design. The lanyard is securely attached, meaning you don’t need to worry about any extra components to connect. It's an all-in-one solution, combining protection with convenience.

Universal lanyards: These lanyards are separate from the phone case and can be attached to any case using a universal attachment. This allows you to customize your phone’s setup, as you can swap the lanyard from one case to another, depending on your style or needs.

Now that you understand the two main types of phone lanyards, let’s focus on why you should consider using one — and why they’re quickly becoming a must-have accessory for many smartphone users.

Why should I use a phone lanyard?

Phone lanyards might seem like a simple accessory, but they offer some impressive benefits that could enhance your daily smartphone experience. Here are the top reasons you should consider adding a phone lanyard to your setup.

1. Hands-free convenience

One of the most obvious benefits of a phone lanyard is the ability to carry your phone hands-free. Whether you’re walking through a busy city, shopping, or enjoying a day out with friends, having your phone hanging comfortably around your neck or wrist ensures you can keep it close without having to hold it. This frees up your hands for other tasks like carrying groceries, holding a coffee, or taking photos without worrying about where to put your phone down.

2. Security and reduced risk of drops

We’ve all had that heart-stopping moment when our phone slips out of our hand and falls to the ground. With a phone lanyard, you significantly reduce the risk of accidental drops. Having your phone safely secured to your body means there’s less chance of it slipping from your hands, even when you're on the move or multi-tasking. Plus, some lanyards feature adjustable straps, so you can position them in a way that feels most secure for you.

3. Versatile carrying options: neck, wrist, or body

Phone lanyards offer a variety of carrying styles, giving you ultimate flexibility based on your preferences or situation.

• Neck Lanyard: For those who like to keep their phone close to their chest, a neck lanyard is a great option. It's perfect for easy access, whether you're checking notifications or answering calls quickly.
• Wrist Lanyard: If you prefer a more compact style, a wrist lanyard allows you to carry your phone without the length of a neck strap, keeping it secure while you’re out and about.
• Body Lanyard: For ultimate comfort and functionality, a body lanyard can be worn across your body like a crossbody bag, providing a secure hold without weighing you down. This is ideal for longer periods of use or when you want the ultimate hands-free experience.

4. Great for active lifestyles

If you’re someone who loves to stay active, a phone lanyard can be a game-changer. Whether you’re running, hiking, or cycling, your phone stays securely with you, preventing it from bouncing around in your pocket or bag. With a body lanyard, for instance, you won’t have to worry about your phone bouncing out during a jog — it’ll stay right where you need it.

5. Enhanced style and personalization

Phone lanyards don’t just offer functionality — they also add an element of style. Available in a variety of materials, colors, and designs, you can find a lanyard that matches your personal aesthetic. Whether you want something sleek and minimalist or bold and vibrant, you can choose a lanyard that complements your phone case, giving you a fully personalized look.

The bottom line: convenience, security, and style

When it comes to smartphone accessories, phone lanyards are an underrated but incredibly practical option. Offering hands-free convenience, improved security, and multiple carrying styles, these accessories can make your everyday smartphone use more enjoyable and stress-free. And with both built-in and universal lanyard options, there’s a choice for everyone, no matter what kind of phone or case you have.

So, whether you’re tired of fumbling with your phone while on the go, want to reduce the risk of drops, or just want to add a little flair to your phone setup, a phone lanyard might just be the accessory you didn’t know you needed.
