Common reasons for losing your phone in everyday life

There are many reasons why we lose our phones every day, and it is essential to address them.

Lack of attention in moments of transition

We often lose our phones when we change locations or activities: we put them on a coffee table, on a counter, or in a taxi, then forget to pick them up. These moments of transition are the most risky.

Unsuitable clothing

Not all pants have secure pockets. And even when they do, a phone tucked into a back or shallow pocket can fall out unnoticed, especially when sitting down or walking quickly.

Hand clutter

When you're carrying bags, groceries, a coffee, an umbrella, or a child, it's easy to put your phone down for "just a minute"... and forget about it.

Frequent travel

Subway, bus, train, coworking, supermarket... the more we move, the more opportunities we have to put down (and forget) our phone. Losses are often most common on public transport or in public places.


What accessories should you use to keep your phone safe every day?

Accessories can go a long way in preventing us from losing our phones. Here's a list of some of the most effective ones.


shoulder strap case


The shoulder strap case

It's one of the best options today to avoid losing your phone. A crossbody case allows you to keep it visible and accessible, while keeping your hands free.

No pockets are needed. You carry your phone like a bag, without thinking about it, and it always stays attached.

The secure neck pouch

Minimalist and lightweight, it allows you to keep your smartphone, cards, and a little change on you without a purse. It can be worn around your neck and closes securely.

Ideal for urban environments or busy days.

The crossbody bag or secure mini-bag

A small shoulder bag combines style and practicality. You can store your phone, keys, and essentials in it. Be sure to choose a model with a zipper to prevent theft or accidental loss.

The case with wrist strap or attachment

It attaches to your wrist so your phone stays securely in your hand. Ideal when you need to keep your smartphone close without the risk of dropping it during a call or selfie.


Tips to stay alert and avoid losses

Accessories are extremely useful, but vigilance remains the key to ensuring your phone is secure.

Never put your phone down “for just a minute” again

This is the number one cause of loss . Put it in your bag, hang it on your shoulder strap, but avoid putting it on public surfaces.

Develop checking reflexes

Before leaving a place (cafe, coworking space, taxi, etc.), get into the habit of doing a quick check : phone, keys, wallet. A simple routine that prevents many oversights.

Avoid back pockets

Back pockets are often too shallow and significantly increase the risk of dropping or snatching, especially on public transport or in crowded places.

Activate geolocation

In case of loss, having activated “Find my iPhone” or “Google Find My Device” will allow you to easily find your device .


The benefits of shoulder bags and pouches for everyday life

By far the most effective accessory to avoid losing your phone is the crossbody case. Here is a list of its main advantages .

Immediate access and freedom of movement

With a crossbody case, you no longer need to rummage through your bag or pockets. Your phone is right there, always visible and easy to access. Perfect for active days or on the go.

Less stress, more efficiency

No more running back and forth to find your forgotten phone in a cafe or at the checkout. With a secure solution, you reduce the risk of forgetting it and gain peace of mind.

A touch of style

High-end models like those from Charlot Paris combine aesthetics and functionality . Elegant chains, leather finishes, understated or bold colors... everything is designed to integrate the accessory into your outfit.
