So, my girlfriend is worried sick about dropping or forgetting her iPhone 5 somewhere (we've got two young kids, the parents out there know how it can be). We're looking for a case that either has some kind of lanyard so that the iPhone can hang around the neck, or a case with a small hole where you can tie something to it (like the phones used to have back in the day).

I don't know if I'm just absolutely useless when it comes to using Google, because the only option I can find is iHangy - but they don't sell them in Europe...

Do any of you know of a case that would work for her?

Lanyarding like it's 1992.

But more seriously, the SwitchEasy Lanyard should be available in Europe.

Haha, I saw that first one but I mean - it must be a scam, right? They've taken stock photos and superimposed iPhones, really badly I must add ;)

The SwitchEasy does look interesting, but the main idea was to be able to hang it around the neck, and I just don't get the feeling that it's secure enough and I'd prefer being able to hang it at least from a corner of the phone.

Search ebay for "Netsuke iPhone 5". Best looking solution in my opinion.

Thanks a lot for all the suggestions, I personally found the Netsuke to be ridiculously awesome and will probably get it for myself :) But we found another one that she felt fit her needs better: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv7we-ifD0c

It's odd though that it doesn't seem to be a bigger demand for cases with straps, isn't it? I mean, there are so many option when it comes to belt clips...

Thanks again!
 
The SwitchEasy Lanyard has only one problem: The sleep/wake button does not work properly for me. I press it and it does not touch the button.
