Full details
The Nite Ize Hitch Phone Anchor and Tether is designed for anyone who wants to keep their smartphone secure and accessible, preventing drops and theft. Its primary benefit is providing a reliable tether up to 24 inches, ensuring your phone is always close. A potential caveat is that the ultra-thin anchor must fit between your case and phone, which may not suit all case/phone combinations. This system includes an anchor that fits between your phone and case, a coiled tether, and a MicroLock carabiner for versatile attachment.

FAQs
Will this work with my phone without a case?

How long is the tether when fully extended?

The MicroLock carabiner is not specifically rated as waterproof but is designed for general outdoor and everyday use. It's best to rinse it with fresh water if exposed to salt or dirty water.
How do I detach the tether from the anchor?
The tether typically loops through the anchor point. To detach, you would usually unthread it, similar to how you might attach a keychain.
What is the primary benefit of using this product?
The primary benefit is preventing accidental phone drops and theft by keeping your phone securely tethered to you or your belongings.
Troubleshooting
Phone anchor does not fit securely
Ensure the anchor is placed flat between the phone and case and that the case is fully re-attached. Some very thick or uniquely designed cases may not be compatible.
Carabiner lock is stiff or difficult to twist
Check the carabiner for any dirt or debris. Gently wipe it clean. If the issue persists, a tiny drop of lubricant (like silicone spray) on the mechanism might help, but use sparingly.
Tether seems loose or not securely attached to the anchor
Ensure the tether loop is fully threaded through the anchor's attachment point and secured according to its design. Check for any damage to the tether loop or anchor point.
