Anyone know of a cell phone case with a gear loop?
|
After hearing of a friend dropping her cell phone off the cliff when taking a photo with it, I thought about finding a cell phone case to give as a gift with a gear loop that you could girth hitch some cord onto, or put a biner in...so you could clip it to a sling in case you drop it. But I couldn't find anything. Does anyone know of a brand who makes a rugged cell phone case with a gear loop? |

Not exactly what you are asking but ... |
|
no. just use a case and insure your phone. and don't drop it, as with other important climbing widgets. |
|
something like this: |

I've just threaded some thin nylon string through the power button hole and earphone hole in the case. tied some thicker, more durable accessory cord through this for a clip in point. It works very well and can hold a factor 2 fall of the phone. I just have to remember to actually clip it to my harness/shoulder sling, which is easier said than done. The cracks on my screen and scratches on the case are evidence of my shitty memory. |

this might work? You can also go deep water soloing with it |

I had thought of starting a thread about this earlier this summer for a trip to the Needles. What I ended up doing was taking a snack sized baggies, cutting a small hole where the lense is and then wrapping some tape around it with a light sling. Kept it in my pocket and it worked pretty well. |

I've been testing a new case for the past couple months, it works really well: beelinecases.com/ |

Another case, PureGear PX360, here |
|
PureGear has updated their lineup with the DualTek XT, which has a much smaller, less intrusive lanyard loop. I can't tell from photos how strong that loop is though. It looks like maybe just silicone. |

Lowe makes a great camera case that I've used for an IPhone 5 cell phone case for years. Get it at Best Buy for cheap |
|
Here's an adhesive loop that will work with just about any hard case. The 3M VHB adhesive is super strong; I've used it for other stuff in my hot car for months. The only problem is this thing looks a little too bulky.  The Snow Lizard Tek Tab looks perfect, but apparently they've been discontinued. examiner.com/review/tech-re… |

fyi |

I use this ebay.com/ulk/itm/141682058224 |

Been using this one for a while now, and it's great. ALso makes it real easy to get your phone out super quick to impress the tacticool kids you work with who have a kydex sheath for everything they own. EWRUH BRUTHER |

I've been using the PureGear PX360 for a number of months now I am satisfied. Its made to hang easily from a carabiner, either a baby or a small real one. My only minor complaints/concerns is that 1)the case actually screws together with six small hex bolts (it comes with a hex key)so if I needed to remove the phone from the case and did not have the right hex key, I would have to cut it out, and 2)the case is not designed to be waterproof, so a significant rain would be a problem unless I had a waterproof pouch or pocket to put it into.  |
