your intro made me want to make wind chimes out of all my old cellphones

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

That would be interesting for sure.

[@marklugo6528]

Thank you for the very creative and resourceful options.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

You are so welcome! Let me know how yours turn out.

[@robertchadwick1552]

Great suggestions. I was just looking at one to keep my phone when kayaking for $21.99. I like all the ideas you offered. Thanks.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

You're welcome robert, they're still going strong since the video.

I love it! I was looking at Amazon for something like this and I thought to myself, the prices for these chintzy things, what a rip! Came here for inspiration for DIY and like what I saw.

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

Thanks. I've mad a change since this video, I swapped out the fishing line for this cord, just as tough but more flexible: amzn.to/3wnpb8S

I really love your explanations, humor and great DIY ideas!👍😊 I now understood that these soft TPU cases won't work with lanyards. Unfortunately these are my favourites.😅 I now wonder if I should buy a case like that of your children with the hard case having bumber corners. I worry though about the thickness and the magnetic ring at the back that most seem to have. I am using a metal stand and fear it would be annoying to get it out because of the magnet. Don't know...🤔
Have loved my TPU case just too much.😅

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

You see all the variations I have here and none of the soft cases have failed yet, and I bang them around a good bit.

Thanks for the ideas. I have some stiff wire, that springy music wire from hobby shops, I use for a lot of things. The plan is to see what wire I can fit into Otter phone case with a loop sticking out. Shoe lace or whatever for lanyard.

I've updated this design recently using this tough but lightweight, flexible cord, you might want to give it a try: amzn.to/3vkuhSG

[@travisdent7009]

Another advantage is if you carry a large amount of stuff around and your phone likes to slide off the top, while you’re walking, that keeps it off the ground and you can get it back easier. I like the thinking… 👍🏻

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

Good point! Thanks for sharing. I've improved this design since this video, plan to provide an update soon.

Not bad ideas for people who don’t want use cellphone case attached people only sweat pants out in public

[@MakeItorBreakItNow]

Thanks for the comment, always welcome, although I'm not sure I'm following the sweat pants piece.
