Hi, I remember some time last year seeing a photo on flickr of a type of bracket that was installed in the bottom of the previous iPhone via it's two screws. I beloved it provided longer screws and allowed you to slip your own wrist strap through it's opening. If I'm not mistaken it was made by a Japanese company.

I was hoping someone here might know the name or manufacturer so I can see if they plan on making one for the iPhone 4, and if not, buy one and use it as a base to get one made locally. Thanks!

Thanks for the link!

I wish I better compared my 3G and i4 before selling, but the screw distances looked awfully close. I gave them an e-mail and hopefully they get back to me. I'd feel a little bit more at ease with one of these and a paracord wrist strap.

I just got a reply:

Thank you very much for contacting Poddities!

Unfortunately, our current products for iPhone 3G doesn't match for next 4G.
We already completed the sample of the new product for 4G and rushing so hard to deliver it to you!

The release timing will be the middle or end of July.
We will send you the release notice later soon.

Best regards,

Poddities

youd be better off getting a case with a spot to connect a wrist strap. I wouldnt be messing with the screws on the bottom of the phone. or even worse connecting a strap to the dock connector :eek: just bad ideas. theres gotta be a case with a bar on one corner to attach a wiimote like wrist strap.

If you are going to carry it by the strap, then the design is iffy. But if it’s to prevent a drop while talking, then those screws can do the job. In that case, they only support the phone’s weight.
