How Long Should a Strap for a Phone Necklace Be?

The ideal phone lanyard length depends on several factors: your height, preferred carrying style, and personal comfort. In this complete guide, you’ll learn everything about choosing the perfect strap size for your smartphone.

The ideal length for phone straps

The standard length for phone straps is typically between 35 and 120 cm. Most crossbody straps are adjustable between 90 and 130 cm, making them suitable for different body sizes and carrying preferences.

Short straps (30–35 cm) are perfect for wearing around the wrist – ideal for quick access and frequent use.

Medium lengths (85–105 cm) work best for wearing comfortably around the neck, balancing weight and style.

Long straps (105–120 cm) are perfect for the popular crossbody style, distributing weight evenly across the shoulder.

Factors that influence strap length

• Height: The taller you are, the longer the strap you’ll need.
• Carrying style: Neck, chest, or hip height all require different strap sizes.
• Clothing: Winter coats and layered outfits often need 5–10 cm extra.
• Attachment type: cases with strap eyelets keep more length, while strap adapters slightly reduce it.

Attachment & compatibility

Most straps are clipped with carabiners to an iPhone lanyard case. Alternatively, a universal strap holder is a flexible option – just make sure your case has a closed 4-corner design for safety.
