Crossbody Lanyard for IPhone

My daughters gifted me a Bandolier lanyard. The case has a small coin purse attached to it where I can put a CC and a few bills.
But I am sure there are less expensive ones on amazon.
For me it is a game changer even when not traveling. I use it everyday.

Thank you for the response. I am going to purchase one and glad you like yours. It will be great to have hands free while traveling and taking in the sights.

It really is. I never have to worry about losing or misplacing my phone or my CC or Cash.

Look at Macy's too. I bought a similar one there for my son's girlfriend that was less expensive. She really likes it for travel.

I have used Bandoliers for years. I now have the case which has a snap, and I can fit in a battery , with credit card, AAA card, drivers license, and a $20. I can plug in the phone charger battery and still keep the battery in the small case.
With all the tap paying systems, I just reach for my phone and pay. I highly recommend this company, and they stand behind their products.
Have a great trip.

I have an Android phone and just bought a case off Amazon. Not expensive, has a zip coin purse and opens up to hold several cards in slots. I used it for 6 weeks in SEAsia..though not as my only purse. More for security with the many different water vessels I was on. I did not want my phone in the drink when taking photos.

Thanks everyone for the great tips.

I love mine, although it is not a Bandolier (need to update my phone before I spend that much). Mine is a cheaper off brand that nancy found for me on eBay and I am so happy. The small pouch on the back holds a credit card, my DL, a few coins, and a few folded bills of whatever currency I am using. I don’t have to worry about dropping my phone, and it’s easy to have either over or under a coat. And keeps me from carrying too much weight on my shoulder. If I am staying in an apartment, I also clip the keys to the strap clip.

I bought this one also and I hate it. Used it once and won’t again. The small pouch is too small for even one card. As a phone case only, it’s fine. But not practical if you need a touch more out of it. https://holstere.com/products/the-manhattan-light-blue-genuine-pebbled-leather-iphone-case-crossbody-w-expanded-wallet-adjustable-strap

Pat, what kind of battery charger do you have that fits in a very small crossbody?

CanAmCherie, I bought this credit card size power bank but at 60% off. It only charges my iPhone 13 Pro Max about 35% but it’s enough to get me by if my phone is low. Actually I bought two because they only weigh about 2 oz each and take almost no room in my very small purse.

I believe my small phone battery charger is made by Clutch. I love it, and the fact that it can connect to my phone and remain in the phone case side pocket.
Safe travels!

I bought this one and the loop that the lanyard clips in to (the entire flat piece that fits against your phone inside its case is called the "patch") tore after about a year of constant use. But it comes with two patches so if you can locate your spare when you need it you're good to go. Mine turned out to be inside the liner of my suitcase. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09NRMVC7Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

I use a lanyard very like Marty's. I had it for over a year, using it constantly for 5 months in Europe and once or twice a week here at home, before the plastic tab snapped off. I thought that was a decent service life for a bit of plastic, but I was lucky the plastic failed as I boarded a plane rather than as I was walking down a sidewalk--not all sidewalks are flat and smooth enough for the type of case I have to be adequate.

There is a potential issue with the dangle-around-the-neck design: The charging port is pointing upward, open to the sky anytime you're wearing the phone and not charging it. I lost the ability to charge my phone via cable by walking under a tree that dripped something more than rain (I assume) into the charging port. Walking around Europe for 2 months, holding a wireless charger to your phone in just the right position is no fun. It is possible to buy little rubber plugs to block the charging port when it's not in use. I wonder how consistently I'll use them.

Despite the risk of wiping out another charging port, I'm going to stick with a lanyard because I take over 250 photos a day on trips covering a lot of architecture-rich cities, and I consult my map very frequently to be sure I'm not re-traversing a street I've already seen. I love my lanyard.

Thanks for the powerbank info.
