# Leather Smartphone Lanyards The Between The Lines iPhone Case is a Bohemian Phone Protector By Meghan Young | Published 2013-02-12 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/between-the-lines-iphone-case References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/design/two-tone-leather-case.php) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/shop/bybetweenthelines) The Between The Lines iPhone Case is a refreshing change from standard smartphone hardcases. Functioning much like a [lanyard](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lanyard-charging), it hangs around the wearer's neck more like an accessory than a protector. But since it is made out of leather, it looks more like a [tribal pouch necklace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-pocket) that many bohemian types would wear, especially in the summer. Designed by hand in Paris, France, the Between The Lines iPhone Case can also act as a wallet, holding people's IDs and money. Available in four colors (Grapefruit Pink, Electric Blue, Tan or Taupe), the case will easily complement just about any outfit, which is important considering that it will be much more visible than the typical case. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Leather Smartphone Lanyards:** The trend of using leather smartphone lanyards as a fashionable and functional accessory for protecting and carrying smartphones. - **Bohemian Phone Protectors:** The trend of designing smartphone cases that resemble tribal pouch necklaces, appealing to bohemian fashion sensibilities. - **Multifunctional Smartphone Cases:** The trend of creating smartphone cases that double as wallets, providing convenience and practicality to users. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Accessories:** The fashion accessories industry can capitalize on the trend of creating leather smartphone lanyards as a stylish and versatile accessory for smartphones. - **Mobile Phone Accessories:** The mobile phone accessories industry can innovate by designing bohemian-style smartphone cases that cater to the fashion preferences of bohemian individuals. - **Wallet and Card Holder Manufacturing:** The wallet and card holder manufacturing industry can tap into the trend of multifunctional smartphone cases by integrating wallet features to offer users a combined solution for carrying their essentials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artisanal Leather Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ryan-london-iphone-leather-case.md) - [MagSafe Leather Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leather-iphone-case.md) - [Fashionable Inflated Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-case-2.md) - [Alt Leather Phone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casetify-bioveg-collection.md) - [Luxe Sustainable Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mujjo-iphone-cases.md) - [Sophisticated Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-smartphone-case.md) - [Gorpcore-Inspired Smartphone Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultra-bounce-case.md) - [Flexible Polymer Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellroy-venture-phone-case.md) - [Sustainable Tactile Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-union-reclassic-case.md)
