Thanks to everyone who replied to my old thread. Here's a question a little less aggressive ;) I just got my first iPhone and was planning to use it with Rick's audio tours etc. What I've noticed is, on its own, it has no wrist loop rope like you'd find on digital cameras. I think that'd be great to prevent theft of the iPhone as I don't intend to either always hold it in my hand, or put it in a pocket, and it obviously won't do in a money belt. Does anyone know of a protective cover/option where a wrist loop could be done? Thanks!!

DK, I'm also the owner of an iPhone. I did a considerable amount of research on cases prior to buying my phone, and of all the different types I checked I don't recall ANY that had a wrist lanyard. Something like that may be available, but I suspect you'll have to do a fairly extensive search to find it. Good luck!

The only fruit stuff I do is an old Ipod so I don't know. But don't fruit tablets and other small media have the slot for the cable lock?

I have mostly shirts with button pockets. I'm not sure if an iPhone would fit in all of them but it's worth a shot. After several years of encouragement, my wife is building her travel clothes to include shirt pockets. We've tried mp3 players on Rick's audio tours and found them to be less than useful. Mostly, we have a problem being at the same place at the same time and being able to find our right place in the tour. Maybe the iPhone will let you move around easier to the various sections but the mp3 players we have won't. I've found that listening to them a time or two just before the tour works well. I make short notes on the maps to jog my memory.

Maybe there's an app with a little picture of a loop. Would that help?

Can you keep it in a camera case and take it out when you want to use it?

Changing the subject slightly: Remember when thumb drives always came with a neck lanyard? I've used those for years to replace the wrist lanyard small cameras come with. Now thumb drives come without a lanyard, but you can still find lanyards online with the string connector, instead of a metal hook, to replace your wrist strap. I like the neck lanyard much better because the camera is handy, safe and doesn't occupy one of my hands unless I'm taking a picture.
