Your Phone Shouldn’t Be One More Thing to Hold

Your hands are already full of coffee, keys, bags, and everything in between. So why is your phone always the one thing you still have to hold? This blog explores the small, everyday friction of carrying your phone and a simpler way to keep it close without the constant grip.

You're halfway through an average day.

Coffee in one hand.

Keys in the other.

Perhaps a bag that slips from your shoulder.

The phone?

Always in one of your hands because there is no other place for it to be.

Small stuff, but it always happens.

The Everyday Juggle We Don’t Talk About

We’ve learned to carry more than we should.

Not in any grandiose sense of the word. But in those tiny, habitual gestures:

Taking the dog out while looking at a text

Trying to unlock your phone while sipping coffee

Looking for your keys as your phone teeters

This isn’t an issue.

It’s simply… frustrating. Tedious. Easily forgotten.

Except when you realize that there is one object that consistently causes you issues.

No pockets.

No hands.

Nowhere to put it.

So you hold on to it.

This Is Not about the Phone; This Is about the Friction

The phone is indispensable.

It is used for:

Navigation

Payment transactions

Messaging

Photography

Checks during the day

It needs to be near at all times.

However, “near” normally translates to “in your hands.”

That’s when the friction begins.

Because your hands have their own responsibilities.

What If Your Phone Didn’t Need a Hand?

There’s a simple shift here.

Not a new habit. Not a complicated system.

Just one change:

Your phone doesn’t have to be carried. It can be worn.

That’s it.

No more juggling.

No more switching hands.

No more “where do I put this for a second?”

It stays with you without taking up space in your hands.

The Freehand Way to Carry

And here we have the Freehand Lanyard + GoTab combo.

Real Life, But Easier

The Dog Walk

One hand grips the leash.

The other grasps the coffee.

What about your phone? Exactly where you want it—with no hands required.

The Coffee Run

Just tap to pay. Scan messages. And go.

Never mind the juggling act.

Never worry about looking silly.

The Outfit

Pockets? Who needs pockets?

Your phone is just another accessory—you’re not wearing it, but displaying it.

The Every Day In-Between

Snap pictures. Make calls. Get directions.

Always ready and never on your mind.

One Less Thing to Hold

This is not an addition to your life but rather the subtraction of a subtle irritation that you've grown accustomed to.

As your hands are freed, everything seems a bit easier.

A bit lighter.

A bit more natural.

Make It One Less Thing

Your phone will always be with you,

it just doesn't have to be in your hands.

Make your phone one less thing to carry around.
