If damage is character, well, I prefer less character in my equipment. My solution to this problem is that I generally do without the neckstrap entirely and use a handstrap only. But there are times when neckstrap might be useful, so I've adopted a solution similar to others in that I have a couple of short, soft links on the strap lugs to allow fitting a neckstrap with a quick release. It works well.
I don't know who made the neck strap I have: I've had it for about two decades and used it with all manner of cameras, but it has very nice, compact, strong quick releases that work well.
