your intro made me want to make wind chimes out of all my old cellphones

Thank you for the very creative and resourceful options.

Great suggestions. I was just looking at one to keep my phone when kayaking for $21.99. I like all the ideas you offered. Thanks.

I really love your explanations, humor and great DIY ideas!👍😊 I now understood that these soft TPU cases won't work with lanyards. Unfortunately these are my favourites.😅 I now wonder if I should buy a case like that of your children with the hard case having bumber corners. I worry though about the thickness and the magnetic ring at the back that most seem to have. I am using a metal stand and fear it would be annoying to get it out because of the magnet. Don't know...🤔 Have loved my TPU case just too much.😅

Another advantage is if you carry a large amount of stuff around and your phone likes to slide off the top, while you’re walking, that keeps it off the ground and you can get it back easier. I like the thinking… 👍🏻

I love it! I was looking at Amazon for something like this and I thought to myself, the prices for these chintzy things, what a rip! Came here for inspiration for DIY and like what I saw.

Thanks for the ideas. I have some stiff wire, that springy music wire from hobby shops, I use for a lot of things. The plan is to see what wire I can fit into Otter phone case with a loop sticking out. Shoe lace or whatever for lanyard.

Not bad ideas for people who don’t want use cellphone case attached people only sweat pants out in public
