Hi,

I keep looking and looking and for years I've felt that this is something that's been forgotten. Very very few to almost none of the cases have a loop so one can attach a leash. I can see that people don't miss that in everyday life, but especially for cases that are designed for the outdoors, I feel like it hasn't been thought all the way through. Pelican, Lifeproof, .... none ore only one (Pelican Marine) has it. Which is funny, because the Lifeproof case for iPad does have it, too.

So, with the iPhone being waterproof, I don't require that part necessarily, anymore (like the Pelican Marine would totally be overkill). But - especially with the iPhone X being a little more delicate - I'd like something that saves from drops. And I want to attach a leash so that when I'm on a boat (my workplace) and we hit an unexpected wave, I don't loose 1 grant into the ocean.

Am I overlooking any brand or model? Can anyone recommend any? So my preference would be slim design (again, don't need water resistance, drop resistance is sufficient) and a loop for a leash.

Thanks :)

Had a Catalyst case before for 6s where you could attach a leash. For X a normal case (something like silicone case from Apple) would be perfect for snapping photos and worrying a bit less about dropping the phone.
