I LOVE these and have used dozens on different items over the past 6 years or so on a variety of products.
In particular, I put them on the backs of my cell phone cases, so I can attach my phone to a purse or belt loop in any situation, although I have also used them for various travel items on trips (to hang things from backpacks that I sometimes need to detach, mostly).
On my phones and iPod, I find that I loop my finger through it when I hold my phone, which gives me a good, secure grip on my phone.
The presence of a clip on my phone means I never need to set my phone down (...where I would be likely to leave it...) Instead, it is basically always in my purse, or attached to something of mine (my purse strap, my belt loop, a backpack strap), which means I never leave it behind.
I have never broken a Cliphanger before, which is kind of amazing, given the treatment they have received from me. They are tough.
Their only downsides is that they are pretty expensive considering they are ultimately just a piece of plastic. But they are quite an engineering feat, with a strong but flexible clip that works for so many different purposes, so I am willing to pay that premium for something so strong and so clever,

--------- TIPS, if using this for a cell phone ----------
-------------------------------------------------------
*** It rarely works to put it on the phone itself, unless you were to super glue or gorilla glue it on permanently.
*** You can't use it on a gel case (it wouldn't stick to that kind of surface with the included sticky tape, but even if you super glued it on, it would pull the case off if any pressure was applied to it)
*** The best kind of case to use is one with a gel inside (which protects and cushions the phone from inside the case) and a hard outside case (to attach the clip to).
*** Apply the clip to the top of the phone, such that if you attach it to your belt loop and look down at it, it will be the right way.
***. You should leave less of the loop showing than you would think - just enough to put your index finger barely through, that is all.
*** I don't care for the fancier and more expensive "plus" Cliphangers. The advantage of those is their 360 degree twist. But I like that the clip is stationary. Plus that adds a little more width, which I prefer not to have.
*** It adds about 1/3 of an inch to the deoth of my phone. My husband would never stand for it in his pocket. But in my purse, it is fine. And if I ever need the phone to be slimmer, I can just pop it out of the case with the clip on it.
