How do the buckles connect? Are they the type you just push one side into the other and it snaps (plastic), like some backpacks? Is it easy on &amp; off?

The one I purchased is Kurgo Tru-Fit Enhanced Strength Harness 3055 Series. The buckles are all steel nesting buckles (slide in to slot and don't snap). No plastic. Easy once you get used to it; our 5 month old Golden just grew into the second size up so we've been pleased with both.

The closures are both snaps AND buckles at once. The canvas straps buckle in to one another, but there are snaps that connect one end of those straps to the bag. So you can use the closures either way you want to. I use them as snaps. The main compartment (the padded section that holds the camera and lenses) uses 2 zippers. I hope this information is useful.

It's an elastic strap .... watch out, dont keep is sports bag with velcro or purse with velcro ... the 'hooks' part of the velcro makes the fibers on strap fray but other then that, i've never had it slip open (ever)

Both the strap and the backpack straps clip on, so they are completely removable! I usually just use one or the other and leave the unused one at home as I tend to need every bit of space available =)

I bought the strap one it seems really secure doesn't move much even on a Mtb. Can't say much about the buckle. The nickel does seem like it would be easier to take on and off although the strap only takes seconds to take off

There are no buckles or other means to remove the strap. When it hangs on my shoulder it is down to my waist. I still have more room to let it out. In other words it is one piece construction. But I don't see why any 2" luggage strap wouldn't work. Just cut the old one off and install the one you want. Good Luck.

It's really easy to take off... How it attaches on is a thick rubber strap that quickly attaches and detaches fairly quickly. Don't take me more then a minute to get on or off.

I think it is very easy and yes they stay snug. At first I had to feel around under the little flap that covers the hole but once I felt where the button is I realized I could push down on it effortlessly for the release of the straps. It will not be something children can reach to push themselves. So tightening is simply pulling the strap between their legs and that is easy. Excess strap tucks under the edge of the seat easily so they can't grab it and tighten it on themselves accidentally. Releasing it is just as easy but you will need to be familiar with the button position. I hope this helps. I think it is very easy and yes they stay snug.

I really love my bag. The closure for the main compartment is rope and the snaps are snaps. When I fly I fasten a bungee cord around the case - more to prevent theft then to hold my stuff in the bag. Hope this helps.

If your talking about the type of pack that has a buckle that fits the pack to the rails of the saddle I would only buy a pack that has straps. I have tried the buckle system before and found that there is a lot of knocking and side-to-side movement which can be annoying. Hope this helps.

The strap attaches like buckling a belt. You can remove the strap but you will still have the buckles on each end of the case. I just slide the strap through the triangular space created when the iPad is propped up for use. It is a little cumbersome, but not too bad.

There is a plastic mini buckle. One side fits into the other - fairly easy. Possible you have a defective item with missing or damaged. I wear mine around my waist underneath my shirt so that it can't be seen.

The waist buckle is plastic. The leg buckles are powder coated metal. Leg buckles are quiet and easy to clip and release. This had been my favorite harness to use thus far.

Actually neither. They are a very sturdy nylon which is used on high-tech back-backs. Plastic tends to break or at best get brittle after a year or so, and metal tends to rust or scratch things (like your clothing or the finish on your camera and lenses. I've had great luck with nylon buckles hiking many cross country hikes. I have no doubt that the ones on my new Ape Case will prove to be as dependable.

It is buckle closure but personally buckles are better because the bag expands. Magnets will not ensure safety of your equipment.

they are all workable buckles...I just close the center one and leave the other two open and secured, so I only need to open the center buckle. Unless I need it more secured, like while travelling. This is in my opinion a great case...very satisfied.
