I like the two lanyard choices. One regular and one floating.
I like it. I didnt notice the extra lanyard that comes with it till it fell out. So it gives the floating lanyard and a regular one. I like it because i can switch tBoth lanyards with eachother due to the clip that will work together. So, it will work on my dive case for my snorkeling trip and can switch it to my phone when i go boating.

Works great!
Fast shipping! Great product, works great for floating my cell phone in a plastic freezer bag, very satisfied, also received for no extra charge a very pleasant surprise of two additional small wrist bands that are not floating worthy but yet very nice for out of water to help attaching to wrist cell phones or cameras! Thank you!

Good Colorful Camera Floats
I was going to wait until after our vacation to leave a review for these camera floats, but I keep being prompted with emails from the seller to leave a review now. So I will. I haven't used these yet - there isn't much need for camera floats in the dry state of Colorado. We don't have a boat and don't spend time at any lakes, so...this product hasn't been put to the test yet. I got them to go on my new Nikon Coolpix S33. We went to the Caribbean over the summer and that trip made me yearn for a waterproof camera. While looking at cameras I could take into the water with us, camera floats kept popping up in my Amazon feed. I'm glad they did - as dumb as it sounds, I never even considered needing something to make my camera float...but I would have been really upset had I been forced to leave my new camera at the bottom of the sea!These fit in the Coolpix S33 well, but they don't fit in the case I bought for the camera. (I got this case, which fits the camera perfectly: Case Logic DCB-302 Compact Camera Case (Red)) I wound up just running the camera float cords through the little strap ring, so they hang on the outside of the case instead of inside. The solution works - I don't really care that they can't fit IN the case with the camera. Since I haven't been to a body of water larger than my bathtub since this purchase, I can't speak to how well these work in open water. However, when I threw them in the tub, the floated well and never sank. We kept attaching little weights to the straps to see how much it would take to sink these - when we ran out of weights at 4.5 lbs, these were still floating. I think that's pretty good - it's a lot more than I expected. I am confident these will protect my new little camera when we go back to the Caribbean in November.Bottom Line: I would buy these again. The colors are nice and bright, making these easy to locate. The float on the surface of the water, further increasing visibility of your camera. (Or whatever you want to keep afloat by attaching these.) They are a good size to go around your wrist, but aren't so big that they get in the way. The cords make it easy to attach these to a variety of cameras and other objects. They are mushy so they are easy to pack and don't take up much space. They are also a great price and arrived quickly. I would chill on the emails asking customers to leave feedback, though. That gets irritating.

Calculate Underwater Weight
I didn't know if this would work for me because it’s for cameras up to 7 oz or 200 grams. My Olympus TG-5 weighed in at 258 g (9.1 oz) but I decided to take a chance after calculating the underwater weight, which is what really matters for floating the camera. I measured the displacement of the camera by putting it in a measuring cup and filling it to 1 liter. I took the camera out and the level dropped to 800 ml so the camera displaced 200 ml. From that I calculated the underwater weight = 258 g - 200 ml * (1 g / ml) = 58 g. (Water weighs 1 g per ml.) I guessed that it would be able to float 58 g. After attaching one of the floats, I verified that it easily floated my camera. To get a better idea of the underwater weight capacity of the floats I used some combination wrenches. My 13 mm wrench floated easily. It has an underwater weight of 87 g - 11 ml * (1g/ml) = 76 g. A 14 mm wrench sunk quickly. It's underwater weight was 114 g - 14 ml * (1g/ml) = 100 g. You can get a much better idea of whether your camera will float or not by calculating the underwater weight this way. If it's close to or less than 76 g, it will float. If it's close to or over 100 g it will not float unless you use more than one float.It's comfortable, sized right and appears to be constructed well. I used it on a recent cruise in the caribbean and it worked great.

Worked as needed
Was perfect for my use. Was going to be snorkeling and wanted to bring my phone in a waterproof case but needed extra security to keep it afloat. Totally satisfied. Thank you.

Work great with float boxes
These really hold a decent weight and provide the necessary buoyancy. We like the construction detail, making it easy to use a gaffe when needed. Very durable, should hold up a long time.

works ok for some things
I'm using these with a iPhone 5s in a Lifeproof Nuud case, which all weighs about an ounce under what these say they will float, and that's what my test confirmed. They came with 2 plain straps as well which is handy. As far as using them, it depends what I'm doing, sometimes it's fine and sometimes it's a little awkward. (I though I'd leave this tucked in a pocket with the float hanging out while paddleboarding, but have discovered a neck strap with one of those stretchy silcone holders works better for that. But for kayaking or just being around the water this works out pretty well.)The cord is difficult to take on and off my particular case so I tried leaving just that part on when I don't want either wrist strap. That didn't work so well, the plastic piece on that side is rather thin and fragile when the 2 parts aren't snapped together. I wound up cutting the plastic connector off one of the plain wrist straps and leaving it snapped into the one one the cord on my phone, so it's like a little ball hanging from my phone. That has kept the current one from breaking. I wish the plastic connector seemed a bit sturdier.
