Why choose synthetic beads over metal ones?
There are three major advantages:
- Price: They’re very affordable, so you can buy them in large quantities.
- Weight: They’re ultra-lightweight, making them ideal for phone charms or statement necklaces that don’t pull on the neck.
- Color selection: This is the only category offering neon, pastel, translucent, or “glow-in-the-dark” (phosphorescent) finishes.
Are plastic alphabet beads suitable for phone charms?
Yes, this is the top product for this purpose! Because they're so lightweight, they won't bump into or scratch your smartphone's screen. We recommend attaching them to braided nylon cord or rattail cord for maximum strength.
