Hi Rick and all,
you said:
"..I'll bet someone will come up with something that will provide a
holder that doesn't need to be attached to the phone or case permanently."
Well, honestly, I am not very optimistic about it.
As far as I know we have lightning connector since Iphone 5 came out
(please correct me if I am wrong) and there was not such a lanyard for
Iphone 5 or at least I was not successful to find it.
Please if anyone would have any idea of suitable option for me, let me know.
Thank you very much for advance.
With kind regards
Maria

Maria,
I honestly don't think you will find such a configuration because of the way
the lightning connecter is designed. The old 30 pin connecter actually used a
set of clips that attached the connecter to the bottom of the phone. One had to
squeeze the sides of the connecter to release it. Lightning connecters on the
other hand do not physically attach, they just slide in and out. This connecter
would require some type of holder to keep the device from simply slipping off
the lanyard. I'll bet someone will come up with something that will provide a
holder that doesn't need to be attached to the phone or case permanently. Hope
you can find what you are looking for.
Best regards,
Rick Alfaro

Hello Rick and all,
thank you very much for very useful info.
well, I do not like the fact that the holder becomes part of the
particular case or the phone itself and it is not possible to remove it.
It makes me sad that the cheap lanyards I have mentioned in previous
e-mail are not available for iphones with lightning conector.
Although they are pretty cheap and maybe not of the best quality, they
are exactly what I need.
Thank you again for information, I believe it was helpful for other
users as well.
With kind regards
Maria

Maria,
I have an order in for the product you originally linked to. I spoke to the
person that makes them on the phone. It's true that the holder becomes part of
the case, but it is easily detached from the lanyard so you can still put the
phone in your pocket or something else. So, basically, whatever case you use
with the lanyard has to be dedicated to that particular configuration. You can
still take the phone out of the case if you want to use a different one but the
holder stays with that particular case. I personally don't mind this but others
might. I hope to have it within a few days.
Best regards,
Rick Alfaro

Hi list,
I am very sorry for such a long e-mail, but I need your help, so please
read it to the end if you can.
I would like to ask you for some suggestions again.
I asked about iPhone Adjustable Lanyard (Neck Strap) the other day.
http://www.iphone-lanyard.com/Site/iPhone_Holder.html
As I did not get any feedback on this product, I suppose no one uses it.
After reading instructions on the seller's website a few times I think
the product is not exactly what I have been looking for.
They say:
"...Be sure to give the adhesive this amount of time before using it.
The adhesive is so strong that it effectively creates a watertight seal
with a hard case. Never remove and then reuse an Adhesive Holder. It is
meant for just one application."
I use Otterbox deffender case with my Iphone 6. What if I need to remove
it for some reason, for example to clean the phone or if any otterbox
part would get damaged and need to be replaced, so that lanyard will be
useless and that's why I think it is not good for my needs.
When I got Iphone 4 I always wanted to wear it around my neck, so I
browsed Ebay and found this product:
Silicone Lanyard
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Silicone-Lanyard-Neck-Strap-for-Apple-iPhone-4S-4-3g-iPod-/251867668418?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3aa47b9fc2

Although this product is made in China and many people have doubts about
quality of their products, I really like the lanyard it was exactly what
I need.
The price is $3.99 with free shipping to Slovakia, so not bad at all and
I've ordered three items just in case it gets broken so that I have a
replacement.
I had to replace the lanyard after a year of everyday use. I even used
it when I stayed at home and wanted to have my iphone with me.
After upgrading to Iphone 6 I cannot use the lanyard any more because
iphone 6 has lightning connector and the lanyard does not fit this
connector.
I have been trying hard to find something similar, but not success at all.
I know somepeople have their phones in small bags hanging around their
necks, but the bag is not the best solution for me.
I prefer lanyards because i can have very quick and easy access to my
phone even on the go and I can easily navigate the screen using one hand
without being worried that the phone will be dropped. When you have
phone in the bag, sometime it is necessary to give it out of the bag.
I have balance issues and I am worried of dropping my phone when giving
it out of the bag, so I prefer to wear the phone around my neck.
Any solution will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help in advance and for your patience to read it to the end.
Have a wonderful weekend.
With kind regards
Maria
