Curious if people are buying the straps, what color straps, and your gender. (I tried to make it inclusive.. I apologize if I've missed an option...) The poll allows multiple choices, so if you're buying more than one strap, mark it down, along with your gender, if you are willing to share!

Who's buying the Crossbody Straps? And.. What color?

I've never needed, or wanted, a cross body strap for an iPhone in the 17 years I've owned one so... no.
❌ It’s not my preferred option.
I do use lanyard straps on my green 15 Pro case because it has a slot for them. However, the ones that attach to the charging port with a plastic piece aren’t as sturdy as attaching them to a case.
Since I don’t have a 17 Pro to use the special cases with slots, I opt for a MagSafe ring instead of strapping a long strap to my case.

Crossbody straps are becoming quite popular in cities with phone theft / snatching problems !
That’s why I mentioned ❌—it’s not really my style. When it comes to straps for iPhones and AirPods, I prefer wristlets if the case has slots, mainly to keep them safe from drops.
Also, iPhone crossbody straps have become super popular in stores. There are even those heavy chain or leather ones that just don’t work well with a plastic tab. They can break easily. They look more like replacement straps for purses.
Take a look at a leather 15PM case that comes with it vs the Apple 17 pro one; I’d rather throw that strap on a crossbody bag that has interchangeable straps instead of an iPhone !
