@Tony
Do you also have "issues" with the straps? Very often, the "tongue" (or prong) does not stay in the hole resulting in the 2 parts of the strap not holding together. Furthermore, the loop attached to the bottom part of the strap is not tight enough to hold the end part of the top strap firmly secured.
Not sure whether I'm really clear here. Sorry...View attachment 3766197

Could you attach the pic again? I'm also interested but I can't see what you're describing :)

Good technical question. So I've worn it almost everyday for almost a year now and this is what I've noticed about the straps.
-I wear the straps on the shortest hole. Every now and then the buckle in the hole will come out and either exist between a hole or slip into the 2nd hole nearest the intended hole. It's rare but does happen. However there is never the event the 2 parts of the strap are not holding together.
-I agree, the loop on the bottom part is not tight enough to really hold the strap end in one place. It moves around.

I just keep both loops near the buckle, and this secures the strap really well. The strap end will be a little floppy, but it doesn't bother me at all.

For some reason, I cannot even see my own picture...:confused1: Took it on the train, on my way back home after work so it wasn't very good anyway. Will take some more today and post tonight. Sorry about that. Sounds like Tony did understand my question. Must be because we're "Cityback twins" ...

The strap is supposed to go on the inside. See the upper loop you can't get to from the outside?

Thank you. I see it now. The end is supposed to go inside, no? Like what one does with a default rubber Apple Watch strap. :smile:
 
Feels like the skies just opened up and the sun just started shining directly on me (in a Cecil B Demille kind of way)!!!!! Thanks so much Ulf & Allan. Not sure the SA who sold be the bag actually knew that.
lol!
Your pic makes me want the bag even more. So beautiful, and it looks a bit greenish with the light, while in Tony's pics it looks bluish. It's like having multiple bags with just one :)
