360 Attaching a lanyard to a PB360?

[Hrafn]

I saw that the 'Comfort' accessories for the PB360 came with a lanyard (but didn't bother to buy it as the USB charger seemed to be incompatible with the mains plug where I live), so thought I'd try seeing if I could get a cheap one off eBay to work, but with no luck to date.

There are two pairs of holes on the back (top and bottom of the curved side), that appear to be for lanyard attachment, but I could not get them to work (can get the lanyard loop to go in one, but not come out the other). Is there some knack to getting this to work? Does it need some sort of specialised lanyard?

Just keep trying. I do not think that special tricks are necessary. I have lanyard from PocketBook and it is no different from generic one you get with cameras, USB memory sticks and suchlike.

There are two points to attach lanyard because:
1. you can attach lanyard on either side for right or left handed operation.
2. you can attach strip so it is between those two holes and you slide your hand under the strip much like when you hold a camera. You would have to manufacture the strip yourself.

I use thin toothpicks to push the lanyard thread into the holes; eventually the loop comes out the other side and the same toothpick can be used to pull it out.
As long as the loop isn't unusually thick it will work.

The 602 has no official attachment point so I tried Velcro, then a suction cup. The final attempt was to thread the fine cord of a USB lanyard through the loud(?) speaker grill. This was a bit tricky until I took a length of flexible wire and stripped a couple of cm away leaving just one fine wire. The rest of the insulated wire became a handle. The wire was curved and pushed around one of the grill members, twisted around the tether cord and carefully pulled back through. It gives me great peace of mind as my sister managed to drop her reader and crack its screen. I have also stuck on small, transparent plastic domes (door/drawer bumpers) as a grip and as a location point above the page forward button to prevent inadvertent operation. HTH someone.

No, that's exactly where they go. My cell phone has a similar hole, it's pretty standard. It might take a bid of fidgeting, I usually use a needle or a pair of needle-nose tweezers.
