Potentially flawed solution to a simple problem

This is an innovative approach to a phone strap and it is of the usual Peak Design quality, but it has a problem that may not be solvable. Removing the mini anchors from the strap to attach them a device (or the strap itself for single point carry) is extremely difficult. It was impossible for me to get a grip on the anchor attachment cord to pull it out of the connector. Obviously, the connection between the micro anchor and the strap must be robust, but given the difficulty of removing the anchor from the strap, it will be almost impossible to reconfigure the strap set up in the field (I used pliers to get enough leverage to remove the micro anchor from the strap. Since I am using the single point attachment for the strap, I have to use the Mobile Strap Adapter to attach the strap to my iPhone case. At this point, I doubt I will be able to disconnect the Adaptor from the strap if I want to use the phone without the strap. This means I will have to use the phone without a case or I must carry a spare case with me. Not an ideal solution. One other note; the Mobile Strap Adapter (for single point attachment) is just think enough to prevent my iPhone from fitting snuggly in the case (the case does not securely snap around the bottom of the phone). It remains to be seen if this will be a problem. All in all, Peak Design has come up with a clever carry solution for mobile phones, but the reality of employing this method is seriously flawed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Adam here from PD. We've found that there's a bit of a learning curve to attaching/detaching the Micro Anchors, but once customers get the technique down it becomes second nature for them. We put together a video to help folks get the hang of it: https://www.instagram.com/p/DYNQlsauAID/
We definitely recommend having a watch and practicing the technique yourself. Thanks for your support and your feedback, and we hope this resource helps!
