Looking for Lanyard or Chest Mount

I am currently searching for either a lanyard or a chest mount for my iPhone 14 Pro with an Otterbox Symmetry clear case. I am looking for this to be able to use my phone while traveling abroad, including through airports, and using apps like AIRA or Be My Eyes. From what I am reading, it appears that a chest mount would be more secure than a lanyard, so I’m actually looking more at that.

Would any of you have any suggestions? If so, could you please provide a direct link to them?

This is an adjustable lanyard that uses a pulley system to adjust it. It allows you to pull the strap out to a desired length and leave it there until you want to retract it. It attaches to the back of your phone or even the case with adhesive, good thing to know in case you don't like that but I don't think it would bother me. I don't have one personally but I've been considering getting one. It also has a little clear compartment to put a few credit cards in, for example, but the Slinger Slim does not have this, good if you only want something to hold your phone around your neck. You can learn more about it and even see it assuming you have that luxury, in this Youtube video by Sam from The Blind Life.

This is a neck mount. It sits securely around your neck, and the cellphone holder rests on your upper chest area. There are different variations, but the one I have linked to above has the attachment for a cellphone, whereas the others do not. This mount allows you to tilt the phone up or down and lock in place. It is lightweight, yet sturdy, and it feels very secure. You can search YouTube for Telesin phone mount to watch video reviews.

Seconding the Slinger. I have one on my Otterbox Defender case with a 14 Pro Max and it's very helpful. It's not a chest mount but I find that winding the strap up so the phone is close to my neck provides much more stability when I need it and it's as easy as just pulling the phone away from me again to type or use it.

I want to use the camera hands-free with various AI descriptive apps. What happens if you turn the phone so the screen is facing you and the rear camera is facing out towards the object you want to investigate? How do we keep the touchscreen for being activated if it's touching our clothes? I can operate the touchscreen through some fabrics.
