Ugreen’s crossbody phone strap doubles as a 4-foot long USB-C charging cable.

Crossbody phone straps may become even more popular now that they’re more functional. Ugreen’s alternative to Apple’s iPhone strap doubles as a 47-inch long USB-C charging cable with connectors that use a locking mechanism to securely connect to your phone. It’s currently available from Amazon in Germany for €19.99, or around $23, according to Appgefahren.de.

<em>There are Amazon listings for the lanyard in Italy and France, but </em>The Verge<em> has reached out to Ugreen to confirm US availability.</em>
<em>The cable’s USB-C connectors attach to the lanyard using a twist to lock mechanism to ensure your phone doesn’t fall.</em>
<em>The lanyard includes an adapter to securely connect to smartphones inside protective cases that include a cutout for their charging port.</em>
