This is a terrific solution for me to secure my iPhone and keep it handy on the stream while fly fishing. It beats all other tethering and waterproof bagging that I have used in the past.

I used my Koala for the first time recently on a trip to Colorado. It was nice to be able to hang my phone over the railing of deep canyons for the perfect picture and not be afraid it would end at the bottom.

using it on my search and rescue training and deployments. great, useful product

Biking hiking snowshoeing dog sledding

Super helpful for having phone secure and convenient. Attached to camel pack and was already ready for photos when hiking and biking. Easy to put phone in and remove. Very secure

Ordered one of these after seeing ads for it on Instagram. I do quite a bit of hiking and I love taking pics along the way, but I was tired of my phone weighing down my pockets/hanging out past my shorts line or having to stop and dig into a pocket of my backpack. This really keeps your phone in the perfect, reachable spot for all your photo needs! I clip it on to the upper strap of my bag right around my shoulder and then loop it once around the strap so it’s not dangling to far down. I bought the black one and it came just the day before I did a 17 mile weekend hike in Mammoth Lakes. I actually pulled up to my campsite and parked right next to this truck. When I got out I noticed the back cab of the truck had a KOALA advertisement alongside it! Turns out it was the CEO of the brand! I chatted that night with him about climbing. Really cool guy! Such a small world and a really cool story to be able to add to this review!

Great for kayaking

WOW, this thing really grips my phone and stays on. Love that I can take it hiking etc. and not have to worry about my phone getting lost.

Love our Koala’s in orange and camo. One deficiency is the tiny strap covers the transfer button when playing Pokémon Go. A small price to pay for not dropping my phone.

I absolutely love the clip on the harness. I clip it to my shirt and the phone can go from travel pants to using and back again. It offers lots of options

The koala really grips & I can attach it to different places depending on what I’m doing. Exercise or yard work or kayaking - safe & secure!

I am a beachcomber, both on the shore and in the water, and I like to take lots of pics. The KOALA is the perfect solution for my clumsiness!

This really holds on to my phone. I am very reliant on it to keep it safe.

Kept my phone secure on my trip to Greenland-lots of photographs from the ship in pretty windy conditions- lots of jealous people around.

Felt secure knowing my phone wasn't going to drop in a river or out of a truck while doing animal viewing. easy to pack, Easy to put on & take off.

Great teeter for your phone, looks cool works even better ;)Kudos R&D @ HangTime !!!

The Koala is super grippy. I wish the tether was a little longer and the clasp (grab a piece of shirt) a little grippier. I have a Samsung Galaxy S21, so the Koala strap rides over the increase volume button.

Taking it to the big 5

Ist perfect for everything . Without worrying that in may fall and hit. I love my koala

I’ve had no issues with it and gets the job done. Great product so far!

I learned the hard way that hiking with a phone comes with a risk of becoming lost or damaged, even though I was careful. And I found that it wraps around the Otterbox case very nicely so the two are complimentary on hikes. However, when I was with friends at an outdoor rooftop restaurant, there were lots of tourists and locals taking sunset photos near the railing and it occurred to me that it would be prudent to have the Koala for everyday use too. One slip and the phone would be over the edge and gone. So, I will include use it more for routine out and about errands.

My main reason for buying this was for when I am skiing and taking my phone out on the chairlift. This will definitely give me a better sense of safety for my iPhone while using it in that situation. I expect I will also utilize it when riding my bike or doing other exercises where it would be possible to drop the phone.

My daughter and husband will be taking their koalas on a lot of hiking trips with their 2 year old. Now losing the phone is one less thing to think of!

I knew the moment I saw KOALA, I had to have one. I have Desert Orange, and my husband has Campfire Gray. I can’t count the times I’ve heard, “Where’s my phone?” We do a lot of hiking and fly fishing, so our phones are always at risk of getting dropped, misplaced, or lost. Koala brings peace of mind. We love the look, and secure fit. The lanyard has a strong clip and carabiner option. We just clip KOALA to our packs, and with no need to unclip, are able to use our phones hassle and worry-free.
