That's probably not a very common occurence - wouldn't a lanyard do a better job there? (instead of "I dropped it and it landed somewhere in a 100 ft radius, probably in multiple pieces" it would be "I dropped it and now it hangs right there, 1 ft away")

- Piskvorrr 8y agoI'm not replying to what you think I'm replying. To summarize: little plastic arms are not useful against dropping a phone from 150 ft. Because: 1. they are not made to absorb a shock that large, 2. even if, the phone would bounce, 3. even then, you're looking for a phone in a fairly large area. Easier not to drop it all of 150 ft in the first place; most people dropping phones do so from human-comparable heights, and that's where the little plastic arms are useful. Clearer now?
- starpilot 8y agoThe tricky thing with a lanyard or tether is then keeping the phone in my pocket while climbing and not having a trip hazard. If there was a way to attach the tether to the inside of the pocket then that would work.
- Piskvorrr 8y agoAha, that is indeed one thing I haven't thought of (amongst many others, I'm sure).
