“Hanging your smartphone around your neck with a strap”

Sure, here is the English translation of the given text:

“When it comes to smartphone precautions while traveling, I think the mainstream approach is to attach a strap and hang it around your neck.

However, when I actually tried hanging it around my neck with a strap, I found several drawbacks. These include:

• The strap presses on my neck, causing pain (even a thicker strap doesn’t alleviate this much).
• My posture becomes poor as my neck is pushed forward.
• It looks unattractive.
• The strap and smartphone dangling in front of my chest are bothersome.

With these disadvantages, I honestly feel that, despite being a pickpocketing precaution, it’s not possible to enjoy the trip this way.”

“Then how about hanging it over your shoulder?”

“Hanging it over one shoulder greatly increases the risk of it being stolen by a pickpocket.

A crossbody strap might be better, but as anyone who has tried it knows, the strap can dig into your shoulder and cause pain.”

“My Solution”

“In my case, I always carried a backpack, so I tied the strap to the shoulder part of the backpack and kept my smartphone in my pocket, as shown below.”

By doing this, I could easily put my smartphone in my pocket, and even when attaching my smartphone to a selfie stick, I could extend the stick without removing the strap.

Since it is attached to the backpack, it cannot be torn away without applying considerable force.

Merit

• It does not put a burden on your body.
• The strap does not go across the front of your body, so it does not get in the way.
• Since it is loosely tied to the backpack, it is very flexible and can be fully extended even when attached to a selfie stick.

Demerit

• Managing the strap can be a bit troublesome.
• It can be troublesome if you take off the backpack in the wrong direction.

Conclusion

This time, I wrote about smartphone pickpocketing prevention during overseas travel.

Below, I will introduce shoulder straps that can be easily tied to a backpack, as shown in the above illustration.

I also plan to upload tips on backpack security measures at a later date.
