Velcro strips, don`t know where to get them though  :crazy2:
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
 Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
 Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
 Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Hi  ;)

I use a Case LOGIC straps that come in many colours, green ( ::)) yellow, red, blue, black, purple etc and get them from PC World.

They look great and only cost about £5 for a quantity.

Hope this helps.
