EDC

Peak Design Mobile Straps

Want faster access to your EDC than storing it in a bag, but don’t want to shove it in your pockets? Peak Design’s Mobile Straps are built around a new and secure Micro Anchor^™ connection system. The straps can be paired with any Peak Design case, the Apple iPhone 17 case, and also with any third-party case when using the included adapter. Plus, they can also be secured to small point-and-shoot cameras, too.

The tough and adjustable straps come in three options to suit different needs. The Mobile Crossbody Multi-Strap can carry multiple items such as a phone, keys, and other small EDC using tangle-free Micro Anchor^™ connections. The Mobile Crossbody Strap is a two-point carry strap that can carry a phone or a small point-and-shoot camera. It includes accessory loop hardware for easy conversion to single-point carry or to stow the strap on-body if the device is detached. If you’re looking for a wrist strap, check out the Mobile Cuff, which offers drop-proof carry for a phone or camera and includes self-cinching hardware.
