text: It was a waste of money.  It's overpraised.  It looks good,but it's not durable.  I used it for a week, after that the strings starting to come off.  I didn't have any issues with the string strap, but the fabric is very cheap.  Do yourself a favor, if you want a well good made little pouch, buy the<br />Kiss Gold (TM) Owl Print Vertical Mini Leather pouch (No, they didn't pay me to advertise, I'm just a customer like you).
