Nite Ize HipClip Phone Clip

Your phone does not need its own belt holster to stay within reach. The Nite Ize HipClip takes a smaller approach: a stainless steel clip backed with 3M VHB adhesive. Stick it to your phone or a suitable hard-shell case, and you have a way to clip it to a pocket, belt, or bag. Less tiny phone luggage, more getting on with your day.

This makes the most sense for anyone whose phone routinely disappears into a bag just as it starts ringing. The spring-tension clip gives it a designated spot near the opening instead of letting it mingle with receipts and snack crumbs. It also skips the bulk of a separate holster.

You do need a flat, smooth attachment surface, so check your case before giving it a new metal appendage. For someone who wants a simple, low-profile way to keep a phone handy, this is a nicely unglamorous solution.
