Holdmate Pro

Shipping was slower than expected meaning these didn't arrive in time for a trip abroad. I love the concept and have one attached to my phone and daily bag so this is used a lot, however, I noticed that there's since been an upgrade which actually carries the feature I find missing in this one which is the ability to pull out the phone and not battle with the wire to keep your phone away from you.

My phone is a Pixel 8. The charging port is in the bottom of the phone and the top of the phone has a raised back section containing the camera lenses, too close to the top to allow the tether patch. I cant put the tether at the top or bottom of the phone, only on the side... Also my case has a folding lid, and the tether interferes. A possible solution would be to have the hook on the tether at one end, rather than in the middle. Tether is a bit too short if attached to my trouser belt, another 15-20 cm would be nice!

The snap back is great, the biggest issue I have had is the fabric that has gone through the loop has failed a couple of times meaning, my tether is untethered .. Hopefully the new upgrade may fix that issue ..
