Be careful with this product. This is a lovely and unique neck and wrist strap for a digital camera. The first time I used the neck strap to hold my almost-new digital camera was on a trip to Alaska in June, 2008. I was very pleased at the convenience and freedom which attaching my camera to the neck strap gave. The neck strap allowed my hands to be free to just pick up the camera and snap a picture. Unfortunately the use of this neck strap proved to be a very unsafe way to carry a camera! We were visiting the Laura Ingalls Wilder residence in Missouri where I had just taken a picture of the entrance. When I reached for my camera to take a picture of the home and grounds as we walked up to the house--to my amazement and disbelief, the neck strap was still intact but there was no camera!! I was not even aware that the small black portion of the neck strap had broke nor did I feel the camera drop to the ground. The camera's pink color blended into the gravel pathway which made it difficult to see and I stepped on the camera further damaging it beyond repair before I found it. End of an expensive camera!! This not only resulted in my inability to take more photographs of this beautiful, historic homeplace, but also necessitated the purchase of another digital camera or have no photographs of our trip. I would recommend anyone using the neck strap (which is a very convenient way to carry a camera) be very cautious. The neck strap itself did not break, it was the small black portion of the strap which goes through the camera. Perhaps the manufacturer should look into reinforcing the portion which attaches to the camera.
