CF-52 shoulder strap solution - what are my options?

My mother wants one for her CF-52 without having to carry around a bag.

The CF-29's had the option to have a strap... (I had one). Just wondering.

Thanks!

option 1: but a case for it with a shoulder strap
option 2: just put a nylon strap through the handle of the laptop
option 3: buy some epoxy that is made to work on plastics from home depot. epoxy some brackets to the side of the laptop and attach a strap. I use a strap for a shotgun/rifle on mine and it works pretty well.

What about a leather skin option for the CF-52... Just like I have on my CF-30 here:

How about going to Wal-Mart and buying some QD sling swivels, like used to mount a sling on a rifle. They are quick detach (hence the name).

You would want to use the types that are secured with a nut on the inside, as opposed to a wood screw type mount I would think to keep them from spinning out over time. This would mean two holes in your case, but you could then easily use any 1" - 1.25" sling for the notebook, even the padded ones. I was thinking of doing this to my CF-29.

Until today, when I say the factory sit-up that has two D-rings mounted on the back. Now I am on a mission to find that!

Good luck!

BatteryBackup, with all of your "helpful" suggestions, you forgot to mention that she could carry the notebook in a plastic garbage bag ...

Azrial, they make a specific strap that has a long and skinny connector that clips to both side of the back corners of the CF-29 (I had one for $35 back in the day), so before you go drilling holes, try to find that from Heartland or eBay

See post #8 on NBR too that I posted back in March: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthr ... ?p=4639578

Heres the best solution. Change the handle with one from cf-27. I do beleived they have the same mounting holes for screws. The cf-27 handle has an O ring for strap at it base.

Yeah, but mine does not have the little D-Ring swivels.

Hey..Make up your mind

I thought you just posted that you had no use for an old cf-27


Alex

I DON'T HAVE USE FOR AN OLD CF-27!!! I just need an old CF-27 handle!!! LOL

If someone wants me to paypal them $5 to cover shipping I'll take one, if not I'll just buy the one on ebay for $10.

Thanks!

P.S. Azrial, if I were you I'd take a trip to the hardware store and fabricate something... Not that hard seriously... and if you can't fabricate something then ship the laptop to me and I'll do it for you ... Seriously though, it wouldn't be hard at all for me to fabricate something PROFESSIONAL and good looking!!! I might even do it free of charge
