I actually bought two of these to use as a camera strap backup tether system. I have (without going into specifics) a competitor's product that I use for my camera strap, and their link system has proven unreliable in the area of safety for my kit; and they don't make a tether system. I found these Black Rapid phone tethers to be the perfect solution. My only real concern was what the actual failure load was, as it was not listed in the product description, and I am using it for purposes beyond what it was most likely designed for. Using the tether, I dropped tested 50 lbs. from a height of 5 feet and did not experience any strap or buckle failure. I figured that was beyond good enough for my purposes. I've been very happy with the peace of mind these Black Rapid tethers have provided, without impeding the ergonomics of my existing camera strap system.
I didn’t purchase this tether for my phone. I am using it as a wrist strap for my LX100 ii and it works perfectly after a little alteration. I removed the carabiner and replaced it with an extra peak design anchor I had lying around. After the alteration it’s perfect, the strap has just the right length. The width of the strap is just right and the seatbelt weave is silky smooth. The adjustable clamp works as it should. I would definitely buy this item again.
I'm surprised that BlackRapid is virtually the only company offering a universal smartphone tethering system. The card and loop to be used between your phone and the case is a clever solution to the lack of attachment points on most phones. The wristband/tether is adequate, but I would have like a locking hook and cut resistant strap to make it more anti-theft. Obviously, this system is not for everyday, but for smartphone photography in theft-prone areas, or shooting over long drops and water, this makes a lot of sense.
