Phone Lanyards & Crossbody Straps

A phone lanyard is an adjustable strap that lets you carry your phone hands-free—worn crossbody, around your neck, or around your wrist. It attaches securely to your phone case, keeping your phone close and easy to access throughout the day. UNIQ’s Vista series features a universal strap card system and quick-detach magnetic buckle, allowing the same phone lanyard to work across different phone models and case brands, not just UNIQ cases.

Hands-Free, Your Way

What are the different types of phone lanyards?

UNIQ offers three phone lanyard styles, each designed for a different way of carrying your phone:
  • Vista ($25.90) — A flat, adjustable phone lanyard (55–80cm) designed for crossbody wear. A quick-detach magnetic buckle lets you easily convert it into a convenient hand strap.
  • Vista Duo ($25.90) — A versatile 2-in-1 phone lanyard with the same 55–80cm adjustable length and magnetic buckle, available in two-tone colourways.
  • Vista Flex ($26.90) — A longer, multi-way phone strap (97–157cm) that can be worn crossbody, around the neck, or on the wrist. It's also suitable for carrying AirPods and small compact cameras.

Are UNIQ lanyards compatible with all phone cases?

Yes. Every Vista lanyard comes with a universal strap card — a slim adapter that attaches to the back of virtually any phone case, creating a secure attachment point for your phone lanyard regardless of the case brand. Vista and Vista Duo also feature a rotating carabiner for quick, easy attachment and release.

How do I choose the right lanyard length for my phone and daily use?

Choose your lanyard based on how you like to carry your phone and what you need it to hold:
  • For maximum versatility: Vista Flex adjusts from 97–157cm and can be worn crossbody, around the neck, or on the wrist. It's also rated for carrying your phone, AirPods, or a small compact camera.
  • For a more compact everyday setup: Vista or Vista Duo adjust from 55–80cm and can switch from a crossbody lanyard to a wrist strap with a quick magnetic buckle.
  • For carrying more than your phone: Choose Vista Flex for added versatility when carrying AirPods or a small compact camera alongside your phone.

Do UNIQ lanyards work for hands-free activities like commuting or travel?

Yes. UNIQ lanyards are designed for convenient, hands-free phone carrying while commuting, travelling, or running errands. Wear your phone crossbody or around your neck for easy access without occupying your hands. Vista, Vista Duo, and Vista Flex can also convert to a wrist strap when you want a more compact way to carry your phone.

What materials are UNIQ lanyards made from?

UNIQ lanyards use durable materials designed for everyday carrying:
  • Vista and Vista Duo use polyester fiber webbing with zinc alloy hardware. Their flat strap design helps reduce slippage and sits comfortably against the skin or clothing.
  • Vista Flex uses a nylon strap with zinc alloy hardware and a quick-adjust buckle for easy length adjustment.
