Hello: I don't want to cause a debate, just throwing in my two cents. I have a voice note, and like the long strap. There have been times when I have had to hold the voice note on my lap, so put the strap around my neck to prevent the unit from falling. And, I have used my voice note in a store, while standing and the strap came in handy. Perhaps the strap could be designed to be more adjustible, for those who want it shorter.
