Jetbook Lite/Mini Wrist Strap?

luqmaninbmore · 01-11-2011, 10:42 AM

Do either the JB Lite or the Mini allow you attach a wrist strap like the original Jetbook did?

There was another thread about this just recently--I don't remember about the Mini, but someone pointed out that there is a place on the JBL just below the battery bump to attach a strap.

I've attached a neck strap to mine--a Canon camera one I found at Amazon for $5.

The camera stores/sites probably are your best source. I made one from some surgical
tubing (the brown stretchy kind they use for modern slingshots) that I got at Home
Depot and a piece of harder tubing. The tubing absorbs any shock if my JBL were to
drop from my hand and that it stretches makes it easier to put on and take off.

I made mine as a neckstrap but you could make it to any size.

One neat thing is that the slip-on cover still works with the strap attached.

This is the one I bought, from PlusDigUSA (under "More Buying Choices"), where the shipping was free (and QUICK!). In the photo it looks like a link chain but actually it's cylindrical, very smooth and lightweight. I can wrap it around my wrist several times to use it that way, or loop it around my neck.

That $2.80 neck strap from Krusell looks great and appears to have a quick connect
feature.

Krusell makes some nice leather cases, I have one for my PDA.

If you want a cheap wrist strap and you have a "dollar store" nearby, stop in. The ones near me almost always carry LED flashlights (with a wrist strap) for a buck.

And you get a cheap LED flashlight as a bonus!
