viable possibility, though, and i'm sure others have pointed it out, but two tiny magnets isn't gonna cut it when it comes to city centres and pickpockets, a bit disappointed that apple doesnt seem to have put a lot of thought into this product :/
Got a tip for us?

Honestly this is good. I'd love it if this finally puts to an end the now two decade scourge of covering up beautiful phones with $10 plastic from China. A way to attach a strap also gives the ability to personalize your phone, not only with a body strap but also wrist straps, or charms that became popular with the iPod touch strap attachment. There was for a time headphone jack charms, which was a pretty smart idea if you ask me — though short lived when the jack was taken away soon after.
It's ok! Don't get down on yourself. We all learn as we go, and from all your posts it learns like you have a great grasp already, keep up the good work!
It's quite common in Asia, but even in North America and Europe, there are several "purse" straps which celebrities have been carrying for a while.

"Flexible metal core" does sound reminiscent of snap bracelets.
Haha, it's mostly her sister saying they are addictive and discouraging them, but their school has a 100% ban on phones, from arrival to departure, so not as much peer pressure.
Riding the NYC Subway in the 90s, you just KNEW to have your backpack in front of you at all times, and never, ever, close your eyes or doze for exactly this reason. Boxcutters were thieves' best friends.
This is why the aliens lock their doors and roll up their windows as their space ships fly by.
That's like a "kick me!" sign right there.
I have to carry my phone in a front pocket, and that's because I'm carrying my spare magazines in my back pockets. As long as I don't get my phone and concealed-carry pockets mixed up, I'm good. And so is everybody else!
So this strap looks silly...BUT, it does give me an idea.
Why not have a chest rig so it can be worn like a GoPro? "Hey Siri, Start Recording." "Recording activated. You have enough space for X hours of footage."

MR headline and story: "Crossbody strap," four times
Far too many forum members: OMG a neck strap!?!?!

To be fair this is almost certainly mostly aimed at women, who often dont *have* usable pockets, at all, because for some reason fashion designers dont think women should be able to carry anything without a purse (my wife, rightfully, gripes about this a lot). So probably aimed at the “I’m only carrying a purse/handbag to have somewhere to stick my phone that isnt my bra” type use, not “my phone is pulling my pants down”
