    It seems a good idea when you are travelling and need constantly to use the phone for google maps, find reservations and bookings, e-tickets, etc in a foreign city without losing it

    Ok this is all great but I had my phone like that in 2012 and was dragged out of a restaurant by it and next thing I’m laying on the ground and it happened so fast nobody understood what happened to me they had to play the cctv and were like omg he’s taken her phone , these phone thief’s will drag you into the Rd at least cover it up with a cardigan or jacket so it’s not visible and make a habit of keeping on the side of you that’s not on the Rd , please stay safe a phone can have insurance and be replaced in 24 hrs

      @@potato1084 I do!! But sometimes there is a need to take out your phone. I take all necessary precaution and keep an eye out when I take my phone out. I have great memory so even if I am in an unfamiliar area in London I memorise my route before I leave my house. Having a phone strap is just another precaution to take that is useful.

      @heyitsheidijay Месяц назад +8

      It doesn't! It has a special flat attachment on the end that sits behind your phone inside the case and threads out through the hole for the port, but it's wider on the inside so it won't slip out if that makes sense!

    Do they steal camera equipment too? Seems content creators are far more vulnerable to the thieves.

      That’s not how phone snatchers in London work though. They cycle up to people who hold their phone - and pick it off of them, and then continue to cycle. So if you have a strap for instance, they are a lot less likely to come up to you bcus it’s not an easy steal
