Best Thick Strap
Bandolier Hailey Crossbody Phone Case
As you can probably tell from looking at this list, lots of crossbody phone cases have straps that are on the thinner side. But don’t worry: There are some thicker strap options out there for you, and this one from Bandolier is our favorite.
With the Hailey, you can choose from 10 different colors and patterns outfitted to work with an iPhone 6 Plus through 14 Pro Max (though different colorways might have more limited sizing options). Plus, that thick strap we love on this case comes off, so you can easily move your phone into a bigger purse or tote if needed.
