Accessory to make a backpack able to attach to luggage handle??
Anyone seen this available somewhere? I like my swissgear maxxum for flights to hkg but even though it has a top strap by the upper handle for this purpose it slips either off or down when sitting on my osprey vector because there is nothing to attach to the luggage handle on the bottom. Would love to find an add-on strap for this purpose. Alternatively I'd be open to suggestions of laptop backpacks that come with this feature. Bbbbbuuuuuutttt I hate all black backpacks so nothing that's boring and monochrome...
I've been looking at the north face surge as I like it's look but it doesn't appear to have a luggage handle pass through.

Will this work? Reviews are good. I stumbled on it by accident and am considering getting one myself.

doesn't work well
I have the bungee and find it does not hold the backpack well on top of another bag. The picture shows a bag with a solid bottom that woud fit well in any case -- I have a large daypack that is used as the personal item when we travel and it always falls off the carryon -- additionally the straps do not hide so they are always in the way. I have been looking for a replacement but it holds so much stugg really well that I have yet to find one.

Mine has this too but the bag tends slip down or sideways. I'd love to find either a good looking backpack with a more functional strap or a way to add a second strap at the bottom.

No I think ours are similar. Mine is difficult to remove as well. But unfortunately one tight attachment point at the top when the backpack is heavy doesn't keep it from sliding. I wonder if I can sew a strap to the bottom where a waist strap would be.
