I thought they were bizarre too at first, but ALL the international students at my university use them and one of them bought me one. They are so useful, especially since now phones are so large. They make it easier to reach the top of the screen, hold slippery phones when taking pictures, and work as a stand.

Huh. I see. I'd find them too bulky and annoying to use, and I've never had a problem using larger phones so...I suppose I'm in the minority on this one ?

I can confirm I used to use one too. For the aesthetics rather than the functionality though, I'll admit.

Haha, really? Interesting. It'd catch on my pants too much and drive me absolutely insane.

I hope we never see floods of LTT branded stuff just for the sake of having LTT branded stuff...

So far it seems to be decent quality.

Really? I tested one out and found it really difficult to use my phone at all. I felt it just inhibited the movement of my hand, I could barely reach to the middle of the screen.

The thing with having phone rings attached is you automatically can't really put your phone in your pocket unless it's one of those retractable ones that fold down when you don't need it, but even then, it's too thick for women's jean pockets. Purses are our friend in this case. It was this reason I stopped using them since I preferred the sleek design of my phone and was able to fit my phone comfortably enough into my back pocket.
