I couldn't find an easy way to switch between using my slide quickly then I tried this out I placed a strip of Velcro on my slide and on my guitar where it wouldn't interfere with my fretting hand you can see it at the lower cutaway 
This is for funzies Thank you Amy 
Looks like a good idea Russell, guess you can put it on fast and remove fast?
You still have to be kind of fast, but looks like it would work fine
I can switch in a flash Velcro comes in several strengths I use the medium if I'm playing in E I pick the low note and before its done ringing I have the slide on same in all the major or minor keys
Looks like a simple yet creative way to deal with the issue ... good on you, mate! One of these days, I'm going to fool with a slide and learn how to do some things with it. Do you typically use open tuning with it?
I do on my Dobro electric houndog but not on my strat most of the bar chord forms serve as a guide especially D (5th fret) I just know from experience or scales which notes to play but I do lower the E to D sounds cool and bluesy with a slide when playing in D

Nice trick Russell! 
I only thinking of some sort of a pocket or holster for this yesterday . Usualy I just have it on the music stand , being senile now I cant remember the words to most things but the problem arises when we play outside and a gust of wind shakes the stand ,result no slide but a lot of glass shards so maybe youve shown a solution Russell.
Re alternate tuning I use open G both on resonator and Strat for most blues slide work but standard tuning on my tele for other stuff ..
Amy thanks and Grah give it a shot remember you need the right strength of Velcro to heavy and you will not be able to remove the slide easily and don't worry about any damage to the finish the adhesive can be cleaned off with mineral spirits I plan on doing a video using my method on one of my songs soon it will show me taking it off and putting it on while I play
