Sinjimoru Stretchable Silicone Phone Strap, Flexible and Elastic Grip Holder for iPhone & Android, Secure Phone Loops Finger Grip with Wireless Charging Support Sinji Loop Navy

UPDATE: broke after 5 months of constant use. Nevertheless, I still recommend, and I'm re-purchasing: price means it could be replaced four times a year, and still be cost-effective compared to other straps and grips that I have tried. It remains the simplest at most effective strap/grip I have tried.BRIEF: installs easily, secures phone so I am much less afraid of dropping it, wireless charging no problem ,and pleasantly prevents the phone from sliding around when tilted against something so that you can more easily view it.BACKGROUND:I am a fan of (0) mobile phones (like most of the world), (1) protectors and battery cases for mobile phones, (2) Qi wireless charging, (3) phone grips, and (4) tilting my phone up to see it more easily on a table top surface, e.g. on a plane. Unfortunately, can't seem to get them all at the same timeI have used protective and battery cases, ever since my first mobile phone screen cracked many many years ago. Cases are great! Eg I exchanged an old iPhone, and the Apple Store technician was surprised that there were absolutely no scratches or damage on the phone that have been in a case since day one. I am similarly a big fan of to prevent dropping the phone.Phone grips similarly good. However, many phone grips have caused my hands to hurt after prolonged use.Wireless charging is similarly great. I remember my daughter commenting that she almost never ran out of power once I got her a wireless charger. It's not just easier to use the wireless charger, but I've had several phones feel like the connector for wired charging.Furthermore, I frequently make long drives (2-3 days, >1000 mikes) using phone for maps/navigation and podcasts. Unfortunately, in many vehicles I have not been able charge and play audio through the same lightning plug on my phone... yes, I have tried many adapters... and the best solution I have found is to have a car phone stand that provides wireless charging and leaves the lightning cable free for audio use.Unfortunately, the cases typically interfere with wireless charging. Or if the case itself is compatible with wireless charging, adding a grip to the case prevents wireless charging.I have been searching for phone grips that (a) reduce the chance of dropping and damaging the phone; (2) do not cause hand pain the way the PopGrip hurts; (3) allow wireless charging; (4) act as a stand, so I can tilt the phone up on a table or desk and view it more easily. You might be able to find my reviews of other grips which proved unsatisfactory.I was quite doubtful about this sort of elastic strap grip, expecting the strap to fail, and worrying that passing through the camera and speaker holes of my phone case might interfere.GOOD: However, passing through the camera and phone holes of the case seems to be OK.Only time will tell about whether the strap breaks or slackens. I expect to report back after six months or so.NOT SO GOOD: This elastic strap is not as easy to slip your fingers into as the other grips I have tried. GOOD: But once inserted it's not so bad, and feels fairly secure.VERY GOOD: this strap does not interfere with wireless Qi charging, the way the other grips did.VERY GOOD: I thought that I was giving up on having a stand to tilt my phone up with the strap. Certainly it is not a stand. However, a pleasant surprise: the strap material prevents my ohone/case from sliding around on a smooth table top. For example, I am dictating this review with my phone propped up on a block… Heck let's admit it, I've set the phone/case against a pepper shaker lying on its side. Tilts fine. Doesn't slide the way this phone/case slid before I got this strap. Agreeable surprise. Not quite so convenient as having a built-in stand, but better than nothing.

Updated 16 Sep 2023: After writing this review and not finding a better designed product, I decided to look for a lower cost solution. I looked for wide rubber bands and found several good possibilities. For 9 dollars, I ordered the equivalent of 20 Sinjimoru phone straps for which one is 8 dollars. Cut in half, the resulting strap looks almost identical, just missing the stickum at each end which doesn't work anyway. Just use duct tape.There are many options, some with longer bands, but I purchased: "Large Rubber Bands, Big Rubber Bands, Thick Rubber Bands Heavy Duty, Wide Rubber Bands, Large Rubber Bands Office Supplies, Colored Rubber Bands, Jumbo Rubber Bands, Large Elastic Bands (10 Pieces)Sold by: Moreik"------------------------Original review:This review is for this product: "Sinjimoru Silicone Stretching Strap as Phone Grip Holder, Slim Grip Tape for iPhone Case, Secure Phone Strap as Cell Phone Holder. Sinji Loop BlackSinjimoru"After writing about the problem I've had with this product breaking and not receiving any contact from the seller, and the seller not providing any customer service contact that can be reached without cost, I am lowering the score of this review.I've tried a variety of phone holders and this has been my favorite, but now I'm reevaluating that. I have purchased several of these straps. After finding an optimum looseness, it does not put as much pain stress on my fingers as other types of holders, though I do need to periodically switch the fingers used. I have also found that the straps come loose unless I apply a strip of duct tape over them inside my case. My magnetic phone mount in my car works fine with these straps. My disappointment is that every strap I've used breaks after just a few months. The break occurs where the strap exits the case, presumably from rubbing against the edge of the case where the strap enters. Maybe sticking a strip of cloth or similar at the exit points to reduce friction would help.

Very easy to attach to phone. This is a great item for someone who either holds their phone in their hand most of the day, or for someone who is elderly or infirmed and doesn't have a good grip these days. This is the case of my brother , who has hand spasms and tends to drop it easily. Thank you

Pretty simple and easy to use. It does get loose about once a week, but never pops out. Qorks great with my card holder case

Was great while I had it but it broke in the middle pretty quickly

Very happy with this loop. I use it on my iPhone 16 pro max and I’m very happy with the quality. The strap is comfortable and allows me to grip without dropping my phone. Easy to install and good value for the money.

It somehow got a hole in it qnd the hole grew and grew until it broke. The silicone also stretched out quickly.
