Is this lanyard made of a plastic material? If so I bought one some time ago and one of the straps attached to the case broke away from the case . Would there be a tougher one that would withstand better. Is this lanyard made of a plastic material?

It's made of silicon rubber. My first one, both strings slowly ripped off in the same way as you describe. Not to worry, there is a fix for it. My second one has now lasted for a long time: simply move the button-spring adjuster close to the phone case (as opposed to behind your neck), so that the strings coming off the case are held close together (in a Y shape). This will keep them from being pulled away and apart from the case, which is how they got ripped off in the first place. This will make your Lanskin case last for a long long time. Overall I'm very happy with my (second) case, now that I have it in this configuration. No sign of the base of the strings ripping. All is good. It's made of silicon rubber.

No, it's a rubberized case that seems to protect the phone pretty well. I've dropped the phone a couple of times without any damage. The lanyard is stretchable rubber also. Holds the phone well. A lot of people have asked about it and I suspect they will buy one. Good value.

Hi, Rebecca. This case is awesome in many ways. Is it water resistant? I would say no. As an avid hiker and back country camper, I've had the opportunity to test (and need) a lot of of water resistant gear. Water has an incredible capacity to soak through materials that seem, at first glance, to appear water resistant. I feel this is the case with this product. My case is sturdy, and lives in my day pack, but if it's raining, it's going inside a water proof pouch. The shell is made of molded EVA-plastic, but water can easily seep into the seams at the corners and the zippers. Hope this helped. Hi, Rebecca. This case is awesome in many ways.

I believe the case is plastic as is the battery/card door. Initially I was concerned about this especially on the battery door but have not had any problems with it. I had the Casio EX-H10 before this and when the lens broke on it (it accidentally opened while I had it on my belt and in a zippered case and not knowing this I leaned forward and bent it while it was opened/extended), I bought this newer model. I love the photos I get from this camera and its' zoom. Since I have owned one of these since 2010 and nothing has happened to the plastic case in extensive and frequent travels (about 6 months/yr) I have never found this to be a concern. The only concern I have is that the on/off button (and programmed "photo taking" button) will occasionally open if I accidentally lean or touch them in my purse/pocket/carry bag and after my last camera lens issue, I have to be careful to check it is always closed when I stow it or stick my hand into the bag holding it.....a caution for users....hard on the batteries and harder if you accidentally hit it/lean against it or press something on it. Hope this helps.

The case doesn't come with holes for lanyard. If you can drill holes, I don't see a reason why a lanyard can't be attached.

The plastic is pretty sturdy. I don't think it will break easy. I already dropped my phone with it on and nothing happened to the phone or case!

There are two plastic hasps in the hard plastic top of the case where the lanyard attaches. They swivel and snap in place sealing the top and making it waterproof.

It has a twist on plastic one. When my baby got old enough and realized he had a necklace on, he was able to pull it off. It didn't break it though. The clasp is meant to be able to undo if enough force it put on it so that your baby can't choke or strangle themselves. It's kind of like the "break away" collars for pets.

Like another person said, the case is completely hard plastic. It is very well made and has withstood a few short drops. I only use this cover during the summer when I go to the beach or pool and switched back to my rubber/plastic case for the rest of the year.

I bought the lanyard to attach to my mother's Jitterbug phone, and it has functioned and held up very well. I would recommend this product. As my personal phone, I have an LG 800 GHL cell phone and I use a simple Case Logic padded camera case as a carrying case for it. There is a small loop tab at the top backside of the case where you could easily attach the lanyard cord for carrying around your neck if you need your hands free for a short period of time. I would not recommend wearing it this way all the time, however, due to the weight of the phone being a bit heavy for long-term wear.

It is is not a hard plastic. It is a quality leather sleeve. I had another sleeve that I was happy with, but I wanted something that looked more professional. I also wanted a sleeve that protected my MacBook Air. I was a little nervous when I ordered it. I am so pleased, I have recommended it to others, including my wife! Good luck!

It's definitely, definitely plastic. I played with one this afternoon. Only looks "metallic." Plastic. OTOH, it's about as nice a plastic as you can get. Would I prefer real metal? Of course - who wouldn't (the iPad just looks gorgeous). But this should hardly be a dealbreaker for anyone.

It is made of plastic, but it's a very durable, thick plastic and I've had no problems with it at all.

No the case does not have a lanyard loop but it has held up very well the few times I have dropped it. The case is a two part system with a rubber skin over the phone with a hard case that supports the phone. I hope this helps you.

The case has two small holes on the bottom next to the flap that covers the charger port that are for a lanyard. I have not been able to string much of anything through them, though, because they're so small and close together, though I pushed a white wire into one and could see it come out in the other hole. Maybe someone else has had success.

it is the magnetic. I had a similar case for 6 months, but a plastic piece broke when I dropped it from my lap. never had a problem with that one. I think this magnet was just too strong.

Greetings, This is made of very strong plastic. It is very well made, and very durable. I have bought several of these laptop stands. Some were wood, some were very cheap plastic, and none of them lasted very long. This is the only one that you ever purchase again, but I think that it will be a very long time. Good luck....

It's mostly heavy duty plastic but the movable part of the clip is metal. I really don't use the strap and cannot vouch for it during use. However, it does feel strong to me.
