Daddario makes something similar to Jake's, with a small rubber 'hook' at half the the price, or the Fremont at half that...or there are really cheap ones off Ali or ebay

I will recommend buying a strap pin and installing it. It is not that difficult, I have done it on a couple of my ukes. It should be an very high end uke before I would worry about the button would damage the value. I am hesitant about my vintage kamaka, but on low and mid range ukes I believe it will only add value.
Find an online toturial. You should check first that the ukes has a small wood block on the inside that the screw can connect to when going through the outer wood.
Pre drill with a small size drill. Place a piece of making tape at the base before drilling to protect the finish around the actual hole. Then screw in the strap button. It is recommended to use a small felt washer between the button and the uke to protect tee finish. I dont know where to get those, I cut one from some material I had lying around.
