Where to attach a phone charm
Some cases have dedicated holes to attach charms, but most do not. Don’t worry, though! You can still use a phone charm either way!
The most common placement, no matter the phone type, is to loop the charm through the mute button opening on the side of the case as shown in the picture below. The string on the charm is thin enough that it does not interfere with the case positioning on your phone.
You can also use the charger opening at the bottom of the case or even the camera opening to attach a charm. The pictures below show an Android phone case with the charm attached on an opening at the top of the case.
Step by step instructions for attaching the charm
Step 1: With the phone removed from the case, feed the string loop of the charm through the opening you’ve selected on the case
Step 2: Pull the string loop all the way through the opening and use your fingers to widen the loop
Step 3: Pick up the beaded end of the phone charm and feed it through the open string loop
Step 4: Pull on the beaded end all the way through to tighten the string loop around the phone case opening
Your charm is now attached and ready for use!

Things to check
Try to not pull excessively on the phone charm while using it because this can end up breaking the charm or bending the phone case.
Always inspect the charm string for damage before relying on it to hold your phone!
Removing the charm
To remove the charm, reverse the process described above:
- Loosen the knot around the phone case opening
- Feed the charm back through the string loop
- Pull the string out of the phone case opening
It’s easy to take phone charms on and off, or change them to match your mood!

How do you take off the phone charm strap from your iPhone ?
Hi Ashley! You should be able to reverse the process shown in the video – loosen the loop around the phone case opening and then feed it back through to remove the charm!
How would you use a phone charm? Is it just there for decoration?
Great question, Ella! It is mostly for decoration, but it also helps to secure your phone. It’s not meant to always carry your phone by, but if you slip your wrist through the charm when you’re holding your phone, it provides backup in case you drop the phone!
Hii!! So I have a Green iPhone 11 and I am thinking about getting a phone charm! I really love all the phone charms but, I don’t know which one to pick! And I want a phone charm that would match my phone! <3
Thank you!
Hi Paulette! Do you have a particular case design you are trying to match?
Yes! I am thinking about one of yours actually! It’s called ‘Sage Waves’!
Awesome! The Pearly Whites charm is super popular and would look great with Sage Waves! You also might try the green DIY kit!
Hello I was thinking of getting a phone charm because it’s so popular i want suggestions because my phone is the iPhone 13 the pink one so which one should I get
Hi Laura! It probably depends more on your phone case design than on the phone color, but for pink the Pink Stars charm is very popular and I really like the Neutral Smile Pop, too!
Hi, I was wondering how do I attach my phone charm on an android?
Hi Reagan!
It’s the same process just choose whichever opening on the case is convenient! A lot of Android users will put the charm on the bottom opening for the charger.
When I put it on my phone I can’t close the case fully how do you do it?( is there a way to post a picture?)
Maybe the string on your charm is too thick? If you want to send a picture via email to support@shopabbyrose.com we can take a look!
