Phone charms are back—and they're cuter than ever. Whether you're into pearls, bows, beads, or trendy wrist straps, a phone charm is an easy way to add personality to your device while making it easier to carry.

Not sure how to attach yours? Don't worry! Most phone charms can be installed in just a few minutes. In this guide, we'll walk you through the two most common phone charm attachment methods so you can start showing off your new accessory right away.

Method 1: Phone Charms with a String Loop

If your phone charm comes with a thin string loop, installation is super simple. This type of charm is designed to attach directly to a phone case with a built-in lanyard hole or side loop.

How to Install a String-Loop Phone Charm

Step 1: Find the Attachment Hole

Take a quick look around your phone case. Many cases have a small lanyard hole on the side or bottom corner designed specifically for phone charms.

Step 2: Thread the String Loop

Carefully feed the thin string loop through the hole.

Step 3: Secure the Charm

Pass the decorative part of the charm through the loop and gently pull until it tightens into place.

Step 4: Give It a Quick Tug

A gentle pull is all it takes to make sure everything is secure and ready for everyday use.

✨ That's it! Your phone charm is attached and ready to add a little extra flair to your phone.


Method 2: Phone Charms with an Adapter Patch

Don't have a phone case with a lanyard hole? No problem.

A phone charm adapter patch lets you attach a phone charm to most phone cases—even if they weren't designed for charms. It's one of the easiest and most versatile solutions available.

Step 3: Put Your Phone Back In

Snap your phone back into the case. The patch will sit securely between your phone and the case.

Step 4: Attach Your Phone Charm

Connect your favorite phone charm, wrist strap, or lanyard to the exposed loop.

Step 5: Check the Fit

Make sure everything feels secure and that your charging port remains accessible.

✨ Easy, right? Now you can enjoy your phone charm without needing a special phone case.
