I like to straps on tenors and heavier banjo ukes, but I usually remove them before putting them back in their cases. The straps are generally tight-fitting, and I'm not comfortable with the pressure I have to exert on the strap pin. A slip-on/slip-off connector seemed to be ideal.
I ordered a pair of these from Amazon for $8.99 and three pairs from eBay (China) for $8.37. The ones from Amazon seem to be very good quality, but it will take a few weeks to receive the buttons from China.
The button half attaches to the uke with a single screw, just like any other button. Unlike any other button, you cannot use it with a strap that does not have the matching half. I'll have to decide what uke and what strap will be forever associated with each other. The matching half attaches permanently to the strap. Pull on that little knob to release the lock, and you can slip-on or slip off the strap.
When I receive the others from China, I'll let you know how they compare with the Amazon version. When I decide what uke and strap I'm going to use, I'll take pictures and post them.
