I'd really like to cut the strap off and buy a new detachable strap from etsy instead...but I haven't been brave enough to take the plunge yet. Has anyone else done that?
Someone made a thread about doing this (maybe search for it?). Most people said don't do it. But it's your bag. I personally wouldn't permanently alter my bag in this way. I am still hoping they will release a plain speedy bb which has a detachable strap.
