Thought I would share this project. Unfortunately, I have one of those jobs that seems to be 18 hours a day and I have to keep an eye on emails and messages while in the tree. Been trying to figure out how to keep the phone easily accessible while limiting movement.

Since we use the Scosche magnetic mounts in all of our cars, I bought one of the vent mount bases and removed the pronges. Then screwed it to a lanyard. Now I can clip it right to my gear strap or back of the Turkey vest and it's right there at hand. I went a step further and put a gopro mount on the opposite side for filming. Just flip it over and slide the camera in.

Nice job. I always leave my phone on vibrate and good thing, It was laying at the base of the tree last nite when six does came through.
 
This is cool. I still want a case I can clip a lanyard to in case I knock my phone off the magnet and it would otherwise fall to the ground. And if I'm doing lanyard (like an auto-retracting keyback) I'd just let it hang from that.

More often than not though I stick my phone in a chest pocket to keep it from catching a glare from the sun, or to keep it's annoying incessant screen-lighting-up notifications from getting noticed. But then it catches condensation from my body heat and the screen gets wet and the whole thing is annoying.

Phones are stupid. And necessary.
