I thought I would chime in here...I eventually gave in and put strap buttons on all of my ukuleles (only my Bonanza came with them installed, but I have a very inexpensive Enya arriving tomorrow [$30] that has them, too (Radius fretboard and truss rod, too). I use a normal button on the bottom of my ukuleles, and a second button on the "heel" of the ukulele, on the side away from me. The only exception is my Outdoor that has it on the upper shoulder of the upper bout...and I just deal with it that way. Strap buttons are pretty easy to install...tape, smaller hole than needed, care while installing. Installing a button may impact resale on a collector's ukulele-so only install a button on something that you want to play and are not planning on using as an investment.
Originally I didn't want to drill into my ukuleles. I bought straps from Lori (Uke Leash) and Hug Strap, and liked them both. Customer service from both companies was outstanding. The HUG Strap is thicker (which I like)...the Uke Leash has more accessories, and I am still using a Uke Leash on both banjoleles that I own.
I did not try the Möbius (currently there is another thread about that item which I have not used, but would also recommend examination of that product.
My ukulele straps that I am using come from two sources: http://strapsforchords.webs.com, and also straps by Ms. Mai at Bonanza Ukulele. I know that Sarah Maisel also makes straps, and I am also watching the straight forward 1" straps by Levy's on Amazon.
