Review: Ninja Loop strap for smartphones

So for the last few days, I’ve been using the Ninja Loop. Admittedly, a strap on the back of my phone didn’t strike me as a very appealing propsition. After using it though, I found myself enjoying it much more so, than I thought I would.


The look of the Ninja Loop is fairly straight foward, in that it is a simple strip of an artificial material that’s similar to nylon, and is maybe an inch in width and is quite thin in its depth. At each end of the strip is an adhesive strip. The Ninja Loop can be ordered in multiple colors, either monochromatic or with one of a handful of patterns. I opted to try out one that was a simple and plain black.
The set of the Ninja Loop is simple. Users will remove the backing to each of the adhesive ends. One end is then attached to the inside back of the user’s smartphone case, then fed out through the hole in the case cut out for the camera. It’s then fed back in through the cutout for charging port on the bottom, and finished by adhering this other end to the same, inside of the case.

Enough slack must be left in order for the user to slide his or her fingers behind it, once the phone is back in place. As mentioned earlier, this loop is thing. I was anticipating it to be too thick for the phone’s casing to fit back over the phone without an issue, but this was far from the case. I’ve also been using my phone as I normally do, on differeing wireless QI charging pads. Much to my (pleasant) surprise, I was able to continue using them as if the loop wasn’t there.


My experience with the loop went beyond just charging though, as I carried my phone with me as if nothing was changed. It slid in an out of my pocket without issue, and really didn’t notice it getting in the way of any other use that I was able to put it through in my normal schedule. I’d even go so far as to say that I’ve been enjoying using it. I found myself sliding my fingers beneath the loop, going so far as to come to depend on it. Having a Nexus 6, part of the appeal is the large size of this device. And while I really enjoy having this for my phone, I have had to seek out ways to navigate it with a single hand (pie control and a keyboard that resizes off to one side are other eamples). Having this on the back of my phone, I found that it not only made it more secure to hold on to, but it made an appreciable difference in navigating a larger phone.
In short, I found the Ninja Loop to be a solid value proposition. It doesn’t run more than five dollars, and made a positive difference in how I handle my phone, both in terms of securing it within my hand, as well as in the ease with which I can navigate it. I’m giving this phone loop a ten. No where in the past week did any sort of flaw jump out at me, or anywhere they could significantly improve their product.
