Im going on vacation and might want to take the phone in the ocean for taking pictures. If I do this, i want a secure way to hold onto it. Can anyone make a recommendation on a case that has a lanyard?

Thanks in advance

I've noticed the Ringke case and these two aluminum bumpers have openings for lanyards. these are for minimalist people who aren't that concerned about protection because with a lanyard there is less chance of dropping.

I’d advise against using the lanyard holes on the Ringke case. I had the fusion for one of my older iPhones. I used a lanyard while going zip lining and the little piece of plastic/TPU in the middle of the two holes stretched so much that it almost broke. My phone could have went crashing down if I hadn’t noticed it halfway through the course.

Thanks guys. It looks like a previous incarnation of one of the Lifeproof cases had a space you could put a lanyard loop through. I’ll check that out.
