Cell Phone Leash/ Chain/ Lanyard
Cell Phone Leash/ Chain/ Lanyard/ Strap/ Charm consists of a gold or silver colored cell phone chain that is attached to a "micro-thin" leash (available in clear or black color) that attaches to cell phones, iPods or digital cameras and clips to your belt, bag, purse, or bracelet. It prevents accidental loss or pick-pockets, just like grandpa's chain wallet! The predominant design of mobile phones and similar devices is of a size and shape that fits easily in the hand when in use and fits easily in a pocket, purse or holster when being carried. The slim contoured shapes and smooth finishes of these devices make them particularly vulnerable to slips and drops when they are reached for or being held in use. The cell phone chain/ leash/ lanyard/ strap/ charm provides a safety net even when they fall out of the top of protective cases/ holsters. The leash portion of the cell phone lanyard/ chain/ leash is 5-inch long but can stretch to 3.5 feet. The cell phone leash/ lanyard/ chain is available in various colors and styles - Choose the one that suits your style from the drop-down menu above.

• Provides a safety leash that will provide a high degree of safety in preventing a mobile phone, or other hand-held wireless device, from being damaged or lost if accidentally dropped while being carried or used - Especially when performing certain activities that present a higher degree of risk and frequency of accidental dropping of phones than others. These include active outdoor activities such as boating, sailing, biking, skiing, as well as a wide variety of job occupations involving high-rise buildings, bridges, towers, high-wire electrical repair, roofing, rigging, etc. The accidental dropping of these devices (even with pouches and holsters because of their tendency to pop-out and fall out of pouches with flipsy flaps and from holsters with no secure enclosures) is a common occurrence, and the subsequent damage or loss of the devise can be very costly to repair or replace.
• Serves as a visual and functional deterrent to theft.
• Blends-in with attire and functions as a fashion accessory because it is available in a variety of styles and can be customized by replacing the chain with any other custom chain-link jewelry thanks to the clasps on both ends making it a unique decorative accessory that can be customized and interchanged at the discretion of the user.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the cell phone leash/ chain/ lanyard?
Cell phone leash/ chain/ lanyard is a fastening system that provides a high degree of safety in preventing a cell phone or other handheld wireless device from being damaged or lost if accidentally dropped while in use or carried in the pocket or inside an insecure case/ cover.
How do I install the cell phone chain/ leash/ lanyard?
Cell phone chain/ leash/ lanyard is a quick-release locking mechanism that is fastened to the phone/ device with an industrial strength 3M adhesive pad. A fastening pin at the end is inserted into the Lock for leash attachment. The Lock safely secures the leash to your phone, releasing it instantly with the push of a button.
The 3M VHB (Very High Bond) adhesive is non-hardening, and removes cleanly from the phone’s surface by hand. This allows the Lock to be removed and refastened when changing to a new phone or device.
How durable is cell phone lanyard/ chain/ leash?
Unlike most cell phone lanyards/ chains/ leashes, this cell phone lanyard/ chain/ leash is professional designed and engineered as a safety product, and is manufactured for maximum reliability and durability. It may remain functional for up to a year or more, depending on differences in handling and use.
What if the cell phone lanyard/ chain/ leash breaks?
The cell phone lanyard/ chain/ leash is warranted for a period of 90-days from the date of purchase. It will be replaced within the warranty period if it breaks, becomes permanently deformed so as to alter proper function, or exhibits signs of failure.
Will the LeashLock fit on my phone?
The LeashLock´s footprint (attachment size) is ½ inch wide x ¾ inch long, and fits most cellular phones and handheld digital devices.
What if the cell phone has a flimsy battery door?
Some phones have battery doors made of a very thin piece of plastic designed only to cover the battery. They are usually attached to the phone by sliding them into place and do not have a spring-loaded catch to lock them in place. Attaching a LeashLock to the battery cover on such phones can result in the back detaching from the phone unexpectedly when the phone is dropped. For such phones, battery door replacement tabs can be made from the extra adhesive pads provided. These can be cut-to-size with scissors, and placed along the seams on either side and on the ends of the battery door to keep it from dislodging and becoming detached.
What if the back of my phone isn't flat?
Some phones have features that interfere with the fastening location you prefer for the LeashLock. In these cases, a different fastening location will be necessary. Choose an alternative location that provides you with the same leash functionality.
How do I remove the LeashLock?
Just twist the LeashLock right or left to the 10 or 2 O’clock position and it can be lifted off. Small pliers are easier for twisting than finger strength. The adhesive is non-hardening and removes cleanly from the fastening surface without solvents. The adhesive is not re-useable. Extra adhesive pads are provided for refastening.
Why didn't the adhesive pad stick?
Two possibilities. First, the adhesive is non-hardening, and does not set up or crystallize to the surface it is applied to. This allows it to be removed cleanly by hand at any time in the future without damage to the phone’s surface. It provides a high strength bond to most rigid plastics, metals, and glass (up to 100lb. per sq.inch), but bonds poorly to porous, soft pliable material such as vinyl, rubber, leather, etc.
Second, if a new adhesive pad does not bond or stay fastened, it is usually because the fastening surface on the phone was not prepared properly before application. When prepared as instructed, the adhesive pad on the LeashLock should form a near-permanent bond with the surface it is attached to.
Please read the Leashlock fastening and removal instructions below.
Where can I buy Cell Phone Leash/ Lanyard/ Chain?
Cell Phone Leashes/ Lanyards/ Chains are available for sale on our website and retail stores, kiosks, magazine publishers, and cell phone dealers and distributors who carry and sell them.
LeashLock Fastening and Removal Instructions:
It is important the location where you attach the LeashLock is clean & dry. Use the alcohol pad provided. Select a smooth flat location on the back of the cell phone/ electronic device close to the bottom edge with the slot opening on the LeashLock facing downward. Remove the protective paper from the adhesive pad, and lightly position the LeashLock in place on the PDA/ phone. When ready, press the LeashLock down firmly for 15 seconds to initiate the bond. Allow the adhesive to bond to the surface for 30 minutes before use.
Two additional adhesive pads are included in your kit should you change cellphones or devices. The LeashLock is removed by twisting it off by hand or with pliers (use a cloth to avoid scratches). The adhesive is non-hardening, and will peel off cleanly. Apply a new adhesive pad to the bottom of the LeashLock and attach it as described above.
