Anyone attach a cell phone strap to their 680? - Treo Forum

AkaNezumi · 07-20-2007, 01:16 PM

I just remember one thing that bothers me about my 680: there is no way to attach a cell phone strap to it! It's so sleek that I'm constantly terrified I am going to drop it.

I was carrying her in my cargo pocket and I actually did drop her the other day. OMG I nearly flipped out and started conquering countries. Luckily, it just scratched the case and unseated the SIM card. I was able to put the SIM back in and all was well. But that brings me to my question:

Has anyone figured out a way to MacGuyver a cell phone strap onto their phone? Like a wrist strap or something? I bought a skin from Treonauts (its nice, actually) which has a strap, but it adds bulk and I already almost ripped it by pulling it by the strap. I'd prefer something more durable that I could even have the phone hanging from without worry. I was going to drill into the bottom but then I realized that LOL THATS THE MIC. So I decided not to.

once i get my 680, which is certain bar world destruction, i'll look into a way to, lol macguyver, (great term) a strap onto it, i'm rather good at tinkering, and am a fan of carabiners, i have one clipped over each of my pockets, holding my cellphone and mp3 player from falling to the floor, ima geek, but w/e lol

Whoa! You guys need to be looking at hard cases or at least full body gel cases. Personally I couldn't bring myself to encase the best form factor Palm has delivered to date. Hey I know these are slick, sleek devices that are easily mishandled, resulting in gasps and endrinalin rushes, but the best solution I've found without compromising the gracefulness of the 680 are the egrips. They make a Treo "cling on" to darn near anything and are transparent, so that Copper 680 still looks "berry nice"!

i'm thinkin star trek now, lol, "Cling On," Klingon, came to mind, i really want to put a strap on it, just because i can be a bit clumsy... but idk, i'll find something to use.

yeah i have the condom on mine and i wish i could put a strap on hehe

maybe the antena on the right we could take off the block rubber thing

oo, i'm definitely buying a bun-j strap once i get my treo, looks like a pretty good product, i think i'll have to test it with something similarly sized and weighted and put it through the gauntlet, make sure it's strong enough for me. lol

You guys are completely my heroes.

I think I'm gonna get the Bun J thing!

I have an armband and a skin...I like the skin enough but I like not having anything adding bulk to my little one. I used the skin for a bit but I haven't much lately. Although mine is pink, so it is made of WIN.
