Smartphones are great. We don't need to discuss that, but one thing is often missing with all the protective cases available for the phone: the ability to attach a lanyard. Luckily, we love to DIY and share our hack with you.

All you need is a small drill (1-1.5mm) and a thin, sturdy cord. We chose Mini-Paracord. Simply remove the case, a very important step, and drill two holes about 2 cm apart. If desired, you can also mill a small groove on the inside of the case so that the case does not protrude too far through the cord.

Then thread the cord through and secure with a tight knot. We chose the double fisherman's knot to ensure it holds well. Now there is nothing stopping you from attaching a lanyard. Even without a lanyard, the loop is useful as it makes it very easy to pull the smartphone out of deep, tight pockets. Happy crafting!
