Abstract

A strap may have a strip of material. Sliding clasps may be attached to ends of left and right segments of the strip. Each sliding clasp may have a slot through which one of the segments slides to adjust strap length. The strap may be coupled to an item such as a device with a battery. The sliding clasps are each in a first mode in which the sliding clasp is locked to the strip and does not allow the strip to slide and a second mode in which the sliding clasp is unlocked and allows the strip to slide. Rotational motion, squeezing motions, and/or other motions may be used to transition the sliding clasp between locked and unlocked states.
