iPad mini Attaching a lanyard to iPad Mini

My wife has a mini retina and loves to take pictures with it. She'd like to protect it in case she were to ever drop it, say from a window, tour bus, etc.

Has anyone successfully found a way to attach a lanyard of some sort to the iPad Mini? I found a case with a elastic type strap but it is a bit inconvenient to use for taking photos.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
