Abstract: A retainer strap for releasably attaching an article to a base object is disclosed. The retainer strap may include a resilient band having a first face, a second face, a first end, a second end, a first connection point located between the first and second ends, and a second connection point located between the first end and the first connection point. The strap further may include a first connector configured to releasably connect the first end of the band to the first connection point, thereby forming a mounting loop suited for mounting the retainer strap on the base object. The strap also may include a second connector configured to releasably connect the second end of the band to the second connection point on the band, thereby forming an open attachment loop for grasping an article. The second connector can be connected, disconnected, and reconnected for grasping or releasing the article without also disconnecting the first connector.
