I've been using phone chains for about a year now and they always seem to twist up in my pocket or bag. Looking for something that actually stays detangled and doesn't look cheap. Does anyone have a brand they actually like?
I've had the same problem - flat chains twist way less than round ones do, so that's worth switching to if you haven't already. Brands like Orton and Lele Sadoughi make pretty solid ones that feel less flimsy than cheaper options, though they're pricier. The real trick is keeping it loose enough in your bag or pocket that it can spread out instead of getting bunched up. Honestly the material matters more than the brand though - leather or nylon straps tangle less than metal chains overall.
Flat chains genuinely do resist tangling better than round ones. Beyond the brand suggestions above, I'd add that beaded or segmented chains (the kind with little spacers between links) tend to grip themselves less in a bag or pocket, so they stay looser and don't knot up the way smooth chains do.
