I ordered my new Mainland, and ordered a nice faux alligator case to go with it. So it arrived, and I remembered someone mentioning that the latches can somehow come loose on cases and the ukulele falls out. I have absolutely no reason to believe that would happen, but paranoia took over anyway. Because my wife describes me as the type who doesn't think thing through a lot, and solves all life's problems by jumping at the first viable option, I found a dirty old piece of quarter inch nylon chord laying on the floor of the garage, and started tying it around the case, just as a precaution. So my wife, who does a lot of yoga, has all of these elastic hair bands in her dresser drawer. She picked me out one with a big Nike swoosh on it, tied a strategic knot in it, and now I can just stretch it over the neck of the case and go overboard with security. And people think that I have a nifty Nike ukulele case security band, instead of a dirty old rope. I would have posted a picture, but the whole concept is so simple, it does not even rate one.
