Other uses for iPod Touch wrist strap?

riptide747 · Oct 30, 2012, 10:43 AM

I recently purchased an iPod Touch 5th generation and among its many features it also includes a small button on the bottom that pops up to reveal a wrist strap hook. Personally I'm never going to use this as I don't take my iPod out for a jog (get a nano or shuffle for that) so what else could you use it for? Possibly an anchor for a case?

Post your ideas, see if we can innovate!

Lock it to a desk?

...You asked for what it could be used for, I provided one scenario.

A tripod mount for when you use the Touch for photography.

A remote trigger in the next James Bond movie?

I think you should put it on.

New ipod seems like it could fall off your hand any minute because of the thinness and weight.

Back scratcher.

Tripod mount gets my vote, I have to say in the colder weather we've been having, I've resorted to using the wrist strap whilst taking photos. I feel an idiot but I haven't dropped it yet (touch wood)...

I believe the phrase is "knock on wood" my good sir.

The strap feels too flimsy, I'd much rather use a hard rubber one if one existed.
