Do you take your strap off before putting away

[pekoe1111]

I just got a hard case for my f-style and it is snug fit in the case. I have kept the strap on my a-style when putting it away in the cheesy chipboard case (plenty of room!) but there is no room for it in the new case without potentially rubbing the finish on my new mando.

So, people with snug-fitting cases: Do you take your strap off every time before putting your instrument in your case? One end of my strap is tied to the scroll with rawhide - a pain to do every time I just want to play for a few minutes.

Anything I am missing here?

Thanks,

I have the same problem. I just roll the slack up into a multi layer loop and lay it gently on top of the headstock. It's worked well enough so far.
