Would I buy one at a luggage store? I would really like to have a hand strap for added protection because I will be using it on the New York Subway System and I think it might prevent me from dropping it when one of the trainees that run the trains stands on the breaks, or jeaks us out of a station from a dead stop.

if you mean the little oval hole to the far left, you should be able to use any camera / mp3 player / etc. wrist strap, which i imagine you could find in an electronics store or camera shop. look for the type with a large loop of cord for your wrist and a small loop of very thin cord to attach around the little metal cross bar. alternately, you could probably make one yourself, if you know how to tie a good knot.
