Thor:
I've used a plain old plastic strap typical if the '70's on my 2.8C for  
years.  These straps have a couple small holes about 1/2" apart with  a 
longitudinal slit between them.  You slip the strap through  the upper strap 
hanger and 
secure the strap's larger hole, via the slit to  the mushroomed lug on the 
camera body and pull tight.   Trim  any excess length which may interfere with 
the wind or focus  knobs.

If the strap material is thin enough, it will allow use of the ER Case  as 
well since the locking tabs are thin metal.  I can supply pics of  two 
variations on this theme to prove it works.  I believe my current  strap is OEM 
off a 
Minolta SRT-101.  Leather works just as well  and looks/seems better but is 
thicker and won't work with the case far as I  know.
Health, Peace

Wow,  it's Friday already.

Well, especially now that the 2.8D is back, I need  a strap more than  
ever. Anyone? Fleenor has one, but he wants like  $30 for shipping a  
simple strap. Highway robbery, that is.

I  was hoping someone else might have one, for sale without gouging me   
on shipping...
