Same. Mine will look ‘strapping’ in the box next to my communicator, that’s also in a box, in my closet in yet another box.
Apparently I collect boxes.

As far as I’m aware based on this forum and the few Trek groups I belong to on FB, I am (so far) the only one that changed the strap, out of the thousands sold. So I think that puts you in the majority.
The original strap is nice and doesn’t need to be changed. It’s just a personal preference and was something to tinker around with.
Congratulations! It's a box!

Yes, and I'm also thinking of preserving the original strap. When I get my replacement, I'll coil up the original and pack it back in the box.

Oh nice find! Saved on bookmarkSo I’ve pulled the trigger on a 1st season leather strap style … the website is buckleguy.com
I actually ordered 2 since I have 2 Tricorder’s….
I may have to shave the thickness since leather is sometimes uneven, depending where it’s at…will see when I get them. TWC thickness is 2.4mm.

Peace
.Hopefully despite leather sometimes being uneven, you don't have any issues. The cuts I've had at 19mm have been perfect.

I think the strap is the only thing we can mess with, this isn't like modding the communicator, I think there's a lot more going on under the hood of this one.
For me personally I just prefer leather, it looks better, it smells better and it's more durable.
Trust me if I thought I could put a moire on here that you could see without having to use the light I would lol!

Shall we take up two pages worth of suitable decorative Tricorder….nesting boxes? LolSame. Mine will look ‘strapping’ in the box next to my communicator, that’s also in a box, in my closet in yet another box.

Bank Authorization is in reference to the specific card company, not your particular bank. And every transaction with your card company requires Authorization from that company which confirms the necessary funds are available to be transferred to whomever you are buying something from (in this case, Amazon). This need of Authorization includes Amazon credit cards (since Amazon is not the credit card company).
As to it being delivered by tomorrow or the next day, if the status is still "waiting for bank authorization" today then that is very unlikely.
Also, like all credit cards, I presume you have some means of seeing your card online (ie what past purchases you have made, monthly billing statements, etc). I would check to see if a charge has been made against the card yet. If no charge has been made against the card yet, I would call the contact number on the back of the credit card and ask them to see if Amazon has made an Authorization request - and, if so, why the card company has yet to Authorize the charge with Amazon. On the other hand, IF a charge HAS been made against the card, then I would contact Amazon again and - after dealing with the useless First Level customer service rep - demand to speak with a Supervisor to find out why Amazon is acting as if the charge has NOT been authorized when your card company shows the funds withdrawn.

Well, mine has jumped to "Shipped" status on Amazon now. And a tracking number now exists with USPS. Interestingly, USPS states "Picked Up By Shipping Partner, USPS Awaiting Item TUCSON, AZ" meaning USPS hasn't gotten the package yet (ie it is in the process of being delivered to USPS). I will be curious (logistics-wise) to see what time USPS receives it from this unnamed "Shipping Partner", since Amazon yesterday indicated that it planned for USPS to receive the package around 1500 PST.
Given that Amazon now lists "Sunday" as the delivery date to me in SoCal, we'll see if USPS keeps that Sunday delivery date or it slips to normal USPS delivery days (aka Monday).

I managed to modify my order to include a 3rd strap…..1” wide and 8/9oz. (~1/8”). Why for…one may ask?
Long time back, I bought 3D Print files for a WAH inspired Tricorder based on WAH’s conceptualized Tricorder hand drawing….well the opening for a strap is the dimensions above.
When I someday get around to completely building it, I’ll use the 1” w…1/8” thk leather strap. I’ve already got most of the WAH Tricorder parts printed out.

Well, at this early date at least. In the future, I am hoping for some creative modding of the computer programming by the community.
If you don't take them out of the box, you don't have to worry about dusting them!Same. Mine will look ‘strapping’ in the box next to my communicator, that’s also in a box, in my closet in yet another box.

Plus, when you need cash, you can sell it as NRFB.
It looks like that will happen, as several members here have already mapped out flowcharts (if not the actual coding ) for certain upgrades. It will be interesting to see how that unfolds, and whether it’s loaded through the SD or another bypass.Well, at this early date at least.
