Best iPhone case for Kardia mobile

Sorry for dumb question. I have bought a Kardia mobile and have an iPhone 6s. Should I attach it to my phone? What do people find is the best way to use this? I don't want the Kardia to be damaged, also not sure what type of phone case I can then use to protect my phone. Currently I have a flip down cover which protects front and back of the phone. Do some people keep the Kardia separate in its own case?

Thanks!

My understanding is that the Kardia will work in close proximity so no need to attach it to your phone. That way you can protect your phone with its own case. I doubt that anybody makes a dedicated case for both conjoined. If you feel the need to carry your Kardia with you then no doubt you can find a suitable pouch to keep it in. Outdoor shops do a wide water proof range of such items to carry GPS, phones etc. which can be attached to a belt or merely placed in your bag.

There are specific cases for specific phones but as I change my phone more often than my Kardia I use it without attaching cos I bought a case for iPhone 4 and now have the 5, so won't fit.

Just ensure you hold the Kardia with the microphone jack closest to the Kardia - works with a tablet that way as well. The signal is transmitted through the microphone - don't ask me how thought.....LOL.

I carry my Kardia in my wallet. Have not had a problem. Had to use it tonight, my BPM was 156. I am on Xarelto 15mg and Multag 400 mg twice a day. This is the first episode I've had since on the medicine. It has only been a couple weeks. Hope I have better results soon.

I have an iPhone 6 and bought a case that the kardia just slips into then fits on the phone very slim and i never have to worry about losing it... i always seemed to be misplacing it..

bought off ebay for £10..

I have the iPhone 6 with a case that covers it like a book. I carry it in the side of the cover and when I use it ..it works great even with the cover.
