Nintendo has redesigned the strap, and it is honoring requests to replace the straps whether they're broken or not.

OK. So noted and well-spotted. The picture I used was by "zarzoso." And you're right, there was no Creative Commons tag there. So I have taken it down.

There has been controversy over on Flickr for months about the media helping themselves to Flickr images without payment or even proper credit, and it has caused into many good photogs leaving flickr.
