JINEASY ID Breakaway Lanyard ID Badge Holder Heavy Duty Retractable Badge Reel with Hard Plastic ID Card Holder, Black

This lanyard is adjustable AND breakaway which is what I need since I work in healthcare.

A lanyard may seem a pretty basic thing with not much reason to choose one over another, but upon returning to airline life after a few years away, there were certain features I knew I wanted… a nice sharp black to pair well with the uniform, retractability so I could swipe my i.d. (without removing the lanyard) at a variety of spots regardless of height or location of the scanner, the safety feature to release it if it got caught in equipment, a spot to hang a key, a solid back of some sort that would conceal numbers and codes from others, and overall durability. This has it all.The one caveat is that I’m short and so it is long for me. I just adjusted it at the back which does leave the excess hanging down a little from under my collar in the back but as it’s a nice neutral black I don’t think it looks sloppy and when I wear the uniform sweater or vest, it doesn’t show anyway. One other thing to note is that if you’re someone who likes to wear a lot of pins on your lanyard, the cord on this one (I got the rounded, not flat) doesn’t lend itself to that, which doesn’t matter to me (there is a spot just above the card holder itself with room for a pin or 2).I think my favorite feature about this lanyard (and the thing that’s had my colleagues saying “That is so cool! Where’d you get that?”) is the part that holds the i.d. itself. I wondered if my badge would still swipe through the hard plastic, but it does, and best of all, the solid back not only conceals important numbers, but creates a nice spot for me to hide a note or two, a business card, a bill of currency… that sort of thing. It’s where I hide codes that are often changing. I don’t trust putting sensitive information on the back of an i.d. or on other cards hanging loosely on a lanyard where they may be visible if flipped, so I really like this… and (update) at 8 months in it’s been durable so far. I’ve ordered a couple more for whenever it may get enough wear and tear to not look quite as sharp and another for a colleague.

More $ than I initially wanted to spend on something without being able to verify it's sturdiness. But it is well worth the $.

Love it use it everyday for work. When pulled really hard loop that holds badge unbuckels and falls from lanyard. But its not a bad thing . Safty breakaway Lanyard hold good but works when needed. Could have had some bad accidents of it wasn't for the break away feature

Just a job

Good quality and strong and sturdy

Purchaser beware... So, I was excited about getting this lanyard, but when I received it, I noticed the Safety breakaway device was not connected. I tried to connect/snap the 2 Safety break-away pieces together, it snapped together, but then the cord easily detached itself from the holes where it was supposed to be adhered to. Minimal effort was made to make sure the cord stays attached to the Safety break-away device making the lanyard virtually unusable, unless you tied the 2 cords together, making the selling point of a Safety breakaway lanyard such a disappointment. On a positive note, the rigidity of the card holder, the extending card holder device and the clipping (detachable) mechanism, were very well made.

I bought this to use for my works ID card. If you need to have quick access to the back of your card or swipe your card this is not the ID lanyard for you. The way that you insert and remove the ID is not a "on the fly" kind of thing.If you need an ID visable and on your neck I highly recommend. If you need access to your card to swipe etc. I would not recommend this model.
