On your combined suggestions, I found a video of someone dissecting a 3G+wifi (mine is wifi only). It is pretty tight inside with the comms “stuff” running around an edge and the other tucked into a corner area. There is not much room for a hole anywhere without being a surgeon or engineering tech used to working on these types of packages.

I liked the idea about maybe threading fishing line thru the earphone/microphone area, but from the video it seems the earphone jack is a complete box unit and I’m not tech enough to want to open and try to jiggle it around etc. I had thought of just using the jack with an earphone plug cut and looped to a lanyard, but I think it may be too heavy. I will try the weight when I get an earphone.

While surfing for the video demo, I found a site that talked about the top 20 covers and one of them has a hand strap! The Marware Eco-Flip Kindle Flip Case. On examining other cases, looking for the lightest one that incorporates a stand, the Tuff-Luv Multi-view cases seems to also leave the top area open enough that it may even allow for a light to be attached when desired. I could use the fishing line idea to loop around part of the case and link to a lanyard, or I suppose rig a strap similar to the Marware case.

The adhesive hook was a good idea, but I haven’t committed to the idea of no case yet. It is still too new for me and believe it or not I keep it in a pencil box on my coffee table while deciding to “encase” or not. LOL

Thanks for listening!
