Danglet Wrist and Neck Strap Adapter for iPod iPhone Touch

The "Danglet" wrist and neck strap is an innovative and very convenient carrying solution for iPods. I bought this mostly for the neck strap since I usually carry my iPod touch in a shirt pocket, but have had it fall out when bending over to pick up something. The neck strap prevents this from being a problem since it "catches" the iPod before it can hit the ground. Here are my observations:Pros -+ Good Quality Straps; the straps and clasps are made of high quality materials+ Includes Wrist and Neck Straps; however only one iPod adapter is included (see "Cons" below)+ Supports All Standard iPods; the adapter firmly connects to the charge\sync port, so it works fine on both our Touch and Nano+ Adapter Fits My Cases; if your case allows the the standard charge\sync cable to be used, it will likely allow this to connect (mine does)Cons -- Neck Strap does not have a "safety breakaway clasp" that most corporate issued neck strap ID card carriers and referee whistle lanyards have to prevent neck injury if the strap becomes caught- Adapter (which connects to the iPod charge\sync port) is made of fairly lightweight plastic and generally feels "flimsy"Overall, I like the set of straps and the adapter and will continue to use the neck strap until it can be replaced with  The ULTIMATE Breakaway Lanyard Key-ID-Badge-Reel Holder .Recommended!CFH

I lost one Itouch (my room swallowed into the black void), and I was afraid of loosing another one. I started looking for devices that I could use to wear around my neck. I realized that there are very FEW products being sold to hold the ITouch or IPhone around your neck. There were basically two products, one from Japan and one from the States. Both used a method of "hanging" the ITouch from the charging or sync port and at first the thought of hanging it from there, made me cringe (to say the least). Both products use the charging end of the ITouch to hold it as it hangs around your neck. The idea of hanging my ITouch from the charging end terrified me, so I looked for other alternatives, but the few out there used lanyards and made the ITouch look even more insecure.I decided to do more research on the two models that hold the ITouch from the charging port. I went on YouTube and found an excellent video where they actually tested the strength of the Danglet. It was tested with an added weigh of 40 pounds, and it was able to handle the weight without breaking or damaging the ITouch! It was at 60 pound that it finally gave way, but to my surprise, it did not damage the ITouch port at all. I read about the Japanese product and realized that in Japan EVERYONE (well, specially the "young") uses their IPhones/ITouch around their necks in this fashion (through the charging port). It is actually very trendy over there (not that I care about that and I am no spring chicken at 45). I compared both, and even though the Japanese product was cheaper, I decided on the Danglet because it contained a "hooking" clasp that the other did not.When it arrived, I immediately connected it to my new ITouch and tried pulling it many times as hard as I could, knowing I could return this item if I felt it was unsafe or would risk my ITouch. No matter how hard I pulled, it did not come out. If you do want to take it off, all you have to do is push on the sides, and it easily comes off.I can't understand why this idea has not caught on in the Sates, but I feel very lucky to have found this product. I know my ITouch is safe, won't fall or get damaged, and what is most important, I WON"T LOOSE IT AGAIN. This is my first review, and I felt it was important to let the public know that your fears about this product damaging or putting your ITouch at risk can be put at ease. If I do find any problems with it, I will come back and change my review. I was simply looking for a safe alternative to hold my ITouch close to me as I had already lost one ITouch. I don't wear pants all the time, so a belt clip was not a choice for using it "all the time". I may look kind of funny out there with my ITouch hanging around my neck, but I think this idea will ultimately catch on in the states as it really does provide a safe alternative to keeping that ITouch or IPhone safe from being stolen, or lost.The Japanese model does seem to have on advantage and that is that the neck strap has a device that you can pull to shorten the length of the cord (I believe both are 17 in. long). I think it would be nice to have the option of shortening the cord when I need to (ex. while doing housework). But for now, I am very happy with my Danglet. My two cents.I did not write the name of the Japanese product because I am not sure if I am allowed to, but if you want to find it here on Amazon, all you have to do is write "Danglet" in the search box. The search will take you to the product, and if you look right under it, you will find the Japanese version under #2. It is 5 bucks cheaper and free shipping. However, I am still happy with my version. I may buy the other one later just to physically compare them and give you a better review. Thanks for reading this.

I had a video Ipod for several years that had a case which I wore around my neck so I could just look down and see which song and artist were playing(rather than have to dig in my pocket and look while walking the dog at the same time). But when I bought the new Ipod Touch it wouldn't fit in that case. So I looked around for a new one. I couldn't find one anywhere until I found this one. I bought it even though I was skeptical because of some of the reviews. I do like it but you must know that it does have a slight tendency to swing a little.It was very secure for about 6 months. Now when I wear it, one side comes apart and I am too afraid to use for fear my Ipod Touch will fall off.

I love the Danglet. I bought the Danglet in February and I have worn it everyday. I love having my phone readily available and it is especially convienent because I often dont wear clothes with pockets. That was the main reason why I bought this product. I had no problems with the Danglet for almost six months. I was driving home from work and to the phone off my neck to put on the charger. The charger would not go in the port, it was like something was blocking it. I looked at my Danglet and noticed that a piece of the plastic had broken off. I then blew into the port and shook it hard for a minute, I saw a little piece of plastic fall out. Then I was able to put the charger in the port. I did wear this product every day for six months, so I think that is good, and it worked very well.... but I must admit that it was scary when I thought that a piece of plastic was stuck in there and I would not be able to get it out.
