Personal Preferences
A mobile phone strap enables its owner to project personal preferences, affections (similar or identical straps are frequently bought by friends and couples) and lifestyle aspirations in a way that is both socially acceptable and often subtle. (OK, in the case of Japanese teenage girls it's often not so subtle).
Why is it that straps are far more likely to be found on the phones of Asian consumers than elsewhere in the world

Kind of cute sexy joke.
