You made me look again at my cover -- I don't see any hand strap. I use both hands when typing on it. Granted it is a little small but my hands are, too.

I purchased two to take with us to Soth Africa and Botswana.I gave one to my wife and kept one. On the flight tp South Africa mine leaked a black oily substance onto my clothres in my checked bag. On the flight back it leaked a white viscus gel. Wiser by my firest experience I placed it in a plastic bag to protect my clothes.My wife had no problem with heres. That may be because se kept hers with his in her carry-on bag. Both worked and I'd have no reservations about buying one unless you plan to fly with it.

I can't answer the question because I the strap is too tight and is not what I expected it to be. I tried it and it is too awkward for me to use. I don't know if I can return it or not.......sorry

I do not have any trouble getting the bag on my shoulder with one hand. It could depend on your height and weight. For instance, I'm 5'4", 115lbs and I can put this bag on my shoulder with one hand. When it is on my shoulder, the very top of the bag sits about 5" below my armpit when my arm is down. I have plenty of room between the bag and my armpit. The 9.5" drop is more than it sounds like. :)

I replied to my own post but it never showed up in Amazon (for some reason). I just got back from a trip to Europe and the device had no problem being accepted as part of my carry-on at LAX, Newark and Oslo (both ways). I specifically asked about it in Oslo and their security said "no problem" having it on carry-on luggage. Hopefully this will make it to Amazon.

I got it for my husband and he loves it. He's a substitute teacher and much prefers the shoulder strap so as to leave his hands free to carry other items. I'm a small woman and just tried it. I have handbags that are bigger, though maybe not quite as wide (from front to back is about 6"). It's well insulated. Hubby took a frozen entrée (such as Stouffer's) to work one day but didn't have time to eat it. When he got home, it hadn't thawed completely and I re-froze it. It has lots of room and can get a lot of items in it, plus pockets for smaller items such as snacks. I think it might be awkward or a bit difficult to carry if it's loaded up with heavy items, but for a typical lunch, it works perfectly. I got it for my husband and he loves it.

I don't think it's overly heavy. Wouldn't plan on backpacking with it. But, it can be carried with one hand.

Mine is fairly comfortable as a neck strap, although I usually do not use it that way. I usually sling it over my shoulder (similar to a rifle strap). The rubber padding is soft enough that it conforms well to the shape of my shoulder and does not slip off. I like my strap a lot because I have large digital SLR that is a bit on the heavy side. I think it is a good bargain for the price. It's a good product.

Hello Jarrad. I have traveled with it now for some months. It is fairly durable. It's a little bulky for my comfort and doesn't sit on my hips too well (5'3" 120 lbs) . But, should do the job fairly well.

Not sure exactly what a hand strap is. It closes with a tab that slides into a kind of loop. It doesn't loop around the wrist or anything like that. When it's closed, it's like a little portfolio.

oh thanks guys for the posts, I have been able to play for a while using the G13 and a track ball mouse. Have gotten good enough that no one knows I play one handed. But thank u very much for the help, I had forgotten about this post or would have put something up

When I walk with the camera down, it is tight against me and I have not had the camera spin on me. I've had the strap for around 10 months and I wouldn't trade it for another strap. I love my RS-7.

I use it with one hand almost always. I'm male, late 60's, active but not the strongest guy. It's light.

The strap is shaped specifically for right handers. I tried it on opposite side the strap makes it lean weird for lefthanders not able to grab an arrow. Not sure if they offer a left handed version email the seller they are quick to reply.

It doesn't have a hand strap, but you can hold it with one hand & walk around.

It's very light and easy to hold in one hand, so yes. I've done it with no problems.

I have no problem getting the bag on my shoulder one handed. I have been using this bag for 7 months now and i LOVE LOVE it.
