iPhone Case With Wrist Strap?

Now that the iPhone 4 is a serious HD camcorder, and a much better stills camera, the need for a wrist strap is even greater. Products like the Flip Mino come with an integrated wrist strap hook, a little hole in the side of the device that allows you to thread a wrist strap through. But the iPhone 4 doesn't.

So my question is, does anyone know of any cases that have an integrated wrist strap hook? Failing that, are there any iPhone cases that have a fixed (non-removable) wrist strap?

iMac (21.5-inch, Late 2009, Week 47), 3.06GHz, 4GB RAM, Mac OS X (10.6.3), iPhone 3GS (16GB), Apple TV (160GB)

I'm waiting to see if this will fill the need.

Thanks. I hadn't seen that. It's far from ideal, but it's probably the best thing I've seen for now. I just wish Incase put wrist strap hooks in their cases. I'm surprised how few manufacturers offer this feature.

After spending our last vacation worried that my wife was going to drop her iPhone off a cliff, I've been looking for the same thing. Here are two other options that I've found:

Danglets are horrible ideas.

As much as I hate Gizmodo, they have a decent article here.

This one doesn't seem that bad...

That article doesn't really state that the Danglet is a horrible idea. It says flinging your phone around like a mad man while using a Danglet is a horrible idea. Therefore the danglet is not a horrible idea. Doing stupid things while using it is a horrible idea.

I saw a guy at the Apple Store with a case with a strap on his IPhone 3GS. It looked pretty good. When I asked about it he said he bought online at site called iStrap. Just Google it. Looked at it but haven't bought one, yet.

Until my phone was stolen last night I had this exact Belkin Ergo:

And I really liked it. The case was low profile enough to fit in the pocket of my jeans or purse, the strap was sturdy and springy (I tied a knot in it to make the loop smaller) and I was definitely using the **** out of it. The back of the phone is contoured with ridges which looks more helpful for shoulder cradling than it really is, but it does reduce slippage.

I recommend this product! I am buying a second one now, and am grateful you helped me refind the link without having to go through all my receipts.

The Interim below looks very nerve-wracking in terms of where the cable is attached.
