Users can use the loop as another domain of interface, extending the original surface area of tablet devices.

Users can use the strap as a physical link to put wireless earbuds aside jeans and belts. It will work both functionally and aesthetically.

Fundamentally, loop does the physical work as the phone strap, but on top of that, when they are on the user’s hands, they can deliver the user’s identity by displaying favorite images or moving patterns.
