Took this to Rome and someone grabbed my phone on the metro. It snapped straight back to my bag :)

The cable has a steel core, not fabric or plastic. A quick grab or slash gets them nothing. Thieves tend to move on to easier targets the second they feel resistance.
Wireless and MagSafe charging work with the tab installed. For cable charging, pop the tab out in seconds, no adhesive, no residue. Most people charge overnight and never notice it.
Yes. The slim tab slides between any phone and any case, iPhone or Android, even thick ones like Otterbox. If your case snaps on, Tethr works.
No. The carabiner screws locked, so it can't pop open in a crowd, on a trail, or in a mosh pit. It only opens when you unscrew it.

Phone protected in 3 simple steps
Step 1: Slide it in
Pop your case off and slide the slim tab between your phone and case. No glue, no tools, no residue. It sits flat, so you won't feel it or see it. Takes about 10 seconds.
Step 2: Clip it on
Screw the locking carabiner onto your belt loop, bag strap, or purse. Once it's locked shut, it stays shut. It can't pop open in a crowd or snag loose on the move.
Step 3: Forget it's there
Use your phone exactly like you always do. Photos, maps, payments, texts. The steel cable extends to full arm's length and winds back flat on its own. No dangling, no tangling, just done.
Thousands of phones still attached.

Wife got me one for our trip to Italy. Some kid on the bus went for my phone and got nothing but air. I felt the tug, phone snapped back, he was gone. Best thing she's ever forced on me lol.

Took this skiing thinking it was overkill. Dropped my phone taking this exact photo and it just bounced mid air instead of disappearing into the snow. On the lift it would've been gone forever. Never skiing without it!

I kayak every weekend and always kept my phone zipped away because I was scared of the water. Now it's clipped to me and I actually take photos out there. The cable pulls out far enough for selfies too.

My wife and I take the train everywhere and I used to death grip my phone the whole ride. Someone actually tried the door snatch trick last month and it went nowhere. Now we both wear one and I don't even think about it anymore.
Where Tethr Makes The Difference
If your phone is out, it's at risk. Tethr fixes that.
Festivals and concerts
Thieves work crowds in teams and a packed pit is their favorite spot. Film the whole set with your phone locked to you, and anyone who grabs it comes up empty handed.
On the water and outdoors
Boats, kayaks, ski lifts, hikes. One slip over water or a cliff edge and your phone is gone forever. Tethr catches it mid air, so you actually take the photo instead of playing it safe.
Everyday life
Left in an Uber. Forgotten at a restaurant. Dropped walking out the door. When your phone is attached to your bag or belt, losing it stops being a thing you do.
Frequently Asked Questions
That trick works on loose cases. The tab anchors deep between your phone and case, so a snug case grips both together. One quick grab gets them nothing, and quick is all thieves have.
It holds far more than any phone weighs, including a Pro Max in a heavy case. It's built to survive a full force yank, not just gentle daily use.
No neck strap, no bright lanyard. Tethr sits as a small black clip on your bag or belt loop. Most people never notice it until they watch your phone snap back.
About 10 seconds. Slide the tab in, clip it on, done. No tools, no glue, no instructions needed.
Yes. Unclip the hook from the tab in one motion when you're somewhere safe. Clip back in when you're heading out.
Yes, and it's one of the most common reasons people buy. Kids stop dropping phones and parents always have theirs in reach.
Every phone that uses a case. iPhone, Samsung, Pixel, all of them. When you upgrade phones, the tab moves with you.
Try it for 30 days. If you don't love it, send it back for a full refund. No forms, no fight.

Good product. It actually extends even way longer than this. Id recommend it.

I purchased one for when I ride my motorcycle. So many great ways to use it. Good company, ill likely get one for my daughter this Christmas.

I wanted protection without a cord hanging everywhere during the afternoon sightseeing rush. I could hold the camera at full arm’s length during the afternoon sightseeing rush, and the retracting design kept everything tidy — Plaza Mayor in Madrid gave me the photo freedom I wanted; my Madrid takeaway on taking photos.

I got my phone taken off the table at a cafe once. Saw this on an ad and it was perfect. Luckily it wont happen again :)

The best part was being able to use my phone normally while kids and strollers filled every walkway. The line paid out smoothly even when kids and strollers filled every walkway; the retraction makes a quiet mechanical sound, but the result was solid — the reel handled a crowded theme park without leaving a loose cord; my theme park takeaway on the retracting cable.

Bought it mainly for case compatibility, then used it during the afternoon sightseeing rush. The insert sat under my everyday case while pedestrians crossed from every side, so I stopped thinking about losing the phone — my case stayed secure throughout the visit to Plaza Mayor in Madrid; my Madrid takeaway on case compatibility.

I like to bring this on hikes. Good product!

A very practical win at La Boqueria in Barcelona: I screwed the carabiner onto the shoulder strap of my tote before leaving. It stayed closed through the Saturday lunch crowd without loosening once — the clip passed its all-day test at La Boqueria in Barcelona; my Barcelona takeaway on the locking clip.

This is such a cool gadget. Going to test it at a music festival this December.

Used it once at my neighborhood walking route and immediately understood the point. I screwed the carabiner onto the belt loop on my jeans before leaving, while everything else about using the phone felt normal — the clip passed its all-day test at my neighborhood walking route; my dog walk takeaway on the locking clip.

Got one for my husband and I for our Europe trip. Quality is better than I expected, going to get a few more for some friends.

I expected the leash to feel awkward during the final minutes of a close game. Instead, I screwed the carabiner onto the zipper pull inside my clear bag before leaving, and I barely noticed the hardware afterward — the clip passed its all-day test at a football stadium; my stadium takeaway on the locking clip.
