The new material doesn’t feel as grippy as the first generation? I absolutely love these, but I’m not 100% confident in it. It seems slippery on my phone, and the edges don’t feel super secure.

Love this thing!

Great idea! We can use it for work and hiking. Keeps the phone safe!

We just began using these during our camping trips. It makes our phones easily accessible and prevents them from falling out of pockets into the water. Unfortunately, the camera is covered on my Samsung so I wonder if it would be better to make different designs?

I drop my phone a lot while out hiking from juggling pictures and my rambunctious dog. Koala makes it easy to keep track of my phone and gives me assurance I won't leave it behind.

We used our Koala’s for the first time this weekend while kayaking down river. My husband got jammed up with a giant raft, hard currents and some major tree limbs. LUCKILY his iPhone was tethered to the kayak with his brand new Koala and held tight through it all, even after multiple items in the boat came loose. We will never kayak or hike without them on our phones again!

I bought two for my boyfriend and myself. We used them hiking, biking, and kayaking. Phone felt secure the entire time. Love them. Can’t wait use them on our next adventure!

I recently took my Koala on a hike and felt my phone was safe. I do wish it was longer. I had it attached to the outside of my backpack and it was a bit short.

Wished there was an extension coil cord to avoid restricting phone calling ;(

After almost losing my phone over a cliff, I never go on an adventure without my KOALA. I take it hiking, mountain climbing, kayaking and on jet skis.

I wanted a secure method to carry my phone when, hiking, Kayaking and paddle boarding. The Koala is perfect for that.

It is easier to hang on to my phone and to find my phone with the KOALA attached to it and then attached to me.

We recently went on a cruise and I’ve often been concerned about dropping my phone while taking photos while on our cabin’s balcony. Not a concern now with my Koala harness. This great little item provided great peace of mind! I certainly recommend Koala!

I have taken the Koala on dog walking, hiking in the mountains, riding my motorcycle cross country and plan on using it this winter for winter sports. It fits very securely, the camera works perfect as in it does not block the lens, the snap enclosure on my pants is extremely tight, and I no longer worry about losing my phone on hikes or anywhere!

Very functional but slips off occasionally if you have it over any case. Excellent concept.

Used my KOALA on the boat, and it kept my phone out of the water and taking great waterski shots! And kayaking, no worries with overboard photo shots. I can hardly wait to try it out on the chairlift. (Just one of the many places I've had dropping experiences)

I took this while on a trip to Greenland and between hiking and riding on zodiacs it literally saved my phone! So glad I made the purchase.

Don't like it, it didn't hold phone reliably

I originally bought this for hiking but after dropping my phone under the seat countless times, I started using on the airplane too! The Koala works well and is super easy to use. It’s the best option for securing your phone without changing the case.

This is the PERFECT accessory when I am kayaking. I can attach it to my life vest to keep it safe.

Will never hike without it!!! No more fear of leaving or dropping my phone anymore. Also, easy to grab and take photos.

Bought as gifts for people who drop their phone frequently. Problem solved.

After watching a friend loose control in his kayak and then ended up flipping and loosing phone I searched for something that would tether my phone to my life vest. Discovered the Koala and quickly ordered one. Then I placed another order to have one for my backpack for hiking.

Travel with my IPhone attached to the Koala keeps the phone close at hand and protects it from falling on the ground and breaking. Excellent companion when snapping numerous pictures when traveling.
