LOVEHANDLE Phone Grip for Most Smartphones and Mini Tablets, Black Elastic Strap with Black Base, LH-01Black

Always worth paying the extra for the original. Its a quality product that lasts a couple years of continuous use day in day out. Its easy to apply and is solid. Its saved many drops to the floor with the size of phones increasing yet hand size remains small. Would recommend

I have bought this product twice (second time when I bought a new phone). The first use has had a good six months or so. If it matters to any, it's currently attached to a Samsung Galaxy S9+ which is a large phone that I do not have the hands to match. Pros: -Easy to attach. Uses a 3M strip -Feels more reliable than a popsocket or one of those rings. -It's very slim. Again, issue with popsocket is that it sticks out a bit much in yohr pocket. -Because of how slim it is, having a case plus this on my Galaxy S9+ doesn't prevent me from using Samsung Pay. So if your concern is that, don't worry. Cons: -The adhesive is a double edge. While it is sticky and lasts much longer than that of a popsocket, it essentially is a struggle to adjust it. Once you place it, it's kind of there, and removing it weakens the adhesive. On the upside, when I purchased it the second time, I noticed a replacement adhesive strip included. I'm not sure if that was in the package the first time, but it's good to know that it's there. -The elasticity of the strap is also a double edge. For one, it is incredibly tight and can take a few days of sliding your fingers in to wear it comfortably. For two, after using the first one for months, the elastic no longer conforms back flat. It's not a crazy issue as it still lays flat in my pocket. -One con only occurred with my second strap. After about a week one side frayed and now has a bit of a zigzag pattern (I think I pulled a thread). It no way impairs the function of the product but I just got bothered it looks this way so soon. -Lastly, it must be said that while this is a good alternative to a popsocket (and I'd argue saying it's better), one major advantage popsocket have is the ability to prop your device up. Understandably, this can't do it. For $10, this honestly is just an effective minimalistic approach on being able to handle your device.

I have purchased a few LoveHandle's already and love them. The LoveHandle has a slim profile with rounded edges and will not catch on your pocket. I purchased a LoveHandle because my phone has a 6 inch screen (Huawei Mate 8) and the LoveHandle makes it easy for one handed use on such a big screen. It also makes it easy to read or watch videos while laying in bed at night so even with smaller phones it is still convenient and less strainful for long periods of use and navigating one handed. Im right handed but can use the phone left handed when using the LoveHandle. I cannot use the phone left handed without the use of the LoveHandle. My daughter and wife both seen how convenient it was to have one and both wanted me to order them one. They both love it and now expect one for every phone. I have also purchased the cheap knockoffs from ebay and aliexpress. The cheap knockoffs look the same but the strap breaks off in the matter of weeks/days and the band becomes loose. The Lovehandle however is of high quality and so far has lasted the life of my phone. I had a black one on my Honor 5x for about a year before I upgraded to a new phone. The LoveHandle is still in great shape but I was unable to remove and add to my new phone. The adhesive was no longer sticky after removing from my old phone, the old tape however was easy to remove and did not leave a sticky residue. I purchased some 3M double sided tape and reapplied new adhesive backing and was able to reuse my old LoveHandle on another phone by replacing the tape. It would be nice if they included an extra sheet of double side tape in case you ever upgrade phones. Every time I purchase a new phone I purchase a LoveHandle, Glass Screen protector and case for my new phone. It just one of those products you cant live without once you use it. I highly recommend this product

This stayed attached to my hard plastic case for at least one year, before I replaced it since it was stretched out. The new one stretched out fairly quickly but ultimately still serves it's purpose as a security loop for my fingers. Sits about as flat as one of those plastic/metal rings, and is easy to put on. Getting it off, on the other hand, is a chore, but it's job is to stay on I suppose. Overall I think it's still one of the better phone-finger-loops on the market.

I buy these for my son's phone every year. He loves it. He drops everything so having this handle on it prevents a lot of damage. Once it's installed to the case, it does not come off. But if you change your phone case, you have to buy a new one. It does stretch out after a while. I wish they had a two pack or yeah, an extra sticky, so you can take it off of one device and put it on another. It's not very bulky, and if you have a child that drops things a lot, you need this!

In my search to find a way to help my clumsy self hold on to my phone, I've tried Popsockets and Grips, which were both pretty much the pits. The concepts were good, but in execution, they left a lot to be desired. The adhesion was iffy at best, definitely not something I'd trust to secure my $1,000ish dollar phone. They were also pretty uncomfortable and made the phone harder to carry even when not being used. Then I tried Lovehandles and eureka, it was almost everything I was looking for. I Installed the film for silicone cases and the Lovehandle sticks like glue. You can spin your phone around, bump and shake it and it's not coming loose. It's also very slim, yet easy to get your finger(s) through. You can't use the base version as a phone stand, but I believe the Pro version has a stand included. For $10, you get piece of mind and a product that does what it promises. Near perfect, I'm super happy!

I’ve been a using LOVEHANDLE phone grip for about 4 years. As an avid hiker/backpacker there was nothing more dependable. I never worried about its ability to stay attached. My first LOVEHANDLE lasted over 3 years before the elastic finally snapped (impressive.) I purchased a new LOVEHANDLE and used it for about 6 months before I had to upgrade/replace my phone. Again, completely secure with no issues at all. Upon receiving my new phone, I again purchased a new LOVEHANDLE. This time it came with a clear sticker that had to be used with a silicone case (or directly on the iPhone if a case wasn’t being used.) I wasn’t thrilled about this change but I went with it because my previous experiences using LOVEHANDLE had been stellar. I cleaned my brand new case (according to package instructions), applied the clear sticker to the case and then the actual LOVEHANDLE to the clear sticker. For about a week it seemed secure. Today, while shopping as Costco, the LOVEHANDLE failed and disconnected from my brand new phone sending it crashing to the ground. Upon picking up my phone, the screen was cracked but thankfully it was just the screen protector (which I also just purchased) and not the actual screen. Whew. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. Not only was this last LOVEHANDLE a complete waste of money but I also have to purchase a new screen protector AND now I don’t have the same confidence in the product that I once had. I’m not sure if there has been a change to the adhesive being used or if this is a fluke so I attempted to call and email LOVEHANDLE directly using the links provided on the sellers home page. It seems both the phone number and email are no lover valid. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this product any longer and I would warn everyone who chooses to purchase LOVEHANDLE to use with caution.

A few months ago I started having pain in my right pinky finger, I realized it had to do with how I was holding my phone (essentially resting it on my pinky). I started searching for solutions that wouldn't greatly increase the bulk of my phone, since I use a Tech21 TPU case & it's a fairly low profile case. I also seldom use my phone for wireless charging but wanted something that wouldn't interfere if I chose to use that function of my phone. I found a thin strappy thing on another site, it was inexpensive so I ordered it while pondering this LoveHandle grip "thing". I finally ordered the LoveHandle too - thinking I'd try both & see which one (if either) worked best for me. The LoveHandle grip arrived first, I put it on my phone & it's been working great so I never even tried the other one & it's gathering dust somewhere. I got the LoveHandle in black for my Pixel 5 phone, in mid-February & it's now the last day of May; I followed the directions & adhered it to the back of my Tech21 case approximately 1/2 inch below the fingerprint reader, roughly centered horizontally & vertically. The adhesive is holding well & allows me to easily hold my phone in either hand with no strain on any fingers. It also lays fairly flat (it sticks up/out a bit, of course). The strap allows me to insert 1-3 fingers (3 is a bit tight) although most commonly I insert my middle & ring fingers. I have a fingerprint reader on the back of my phone, so this allows me to keep my pointer finger and pinky free for balancing my hold on the phone, as well as using my pointer to use my fingerprint to unlock my phone or open apps as needed. The strap that goes around your fingers is stretchy but not overly so, it hasn't loosened up a lot in the 3-1/2 months of use multiple times a day. New phone May 2024, needed a new Love Handle as these are something I've enjoyed using and it's been helpful in reducing or eliminating the repetitive motion issues I mentioned above.
