A security device may include a housing, a security element disposed within the housing and configured to wirelessly interface with an alarming gate, a flexible strap with an affixed pin, and a pin lock mechanism. The flexible strap may be rotatably attached to the housing via a strap holding assembly that permits the flexible strap to rotate relative to the housing. The pin lock mechanism may be disposed within the housing to enable the pin to be locked to the housing to attach the security device to an object. The flexible strap may be removable from the housing and may be replaceable without tools.
