How about using this on the underside of the strap for my computer bag? The strap has a padded part that sits on my shoulder, but it slips off.

Depends on what you are wearing. Leather jacket? Definitely. Wool sweater? Most likely. Cotton t-shirt? Probably not.

This case is designed to use the strap that is attached to your camera via the hooks on the side of the case. I'll post a picture in user images for additional information.

The portion of the strap that would be on your shoulder is about 2.75" wide. The strap does have some padding in the shoulder area of the strap. It is not heavily padded but I think has sufficient padding. I don't use my bag daily since my laptop is used mostly in my home. So I haven't used it the way you do during your commute to work.

Put the end with the flat tip (and groves on the side) through the slot on the one side. When you get to the other side slip it through the other side sideways. The groves hold the strap in place. :)

The outer shell is made of a hard plastic, only the edges are silicone due to the insert. Shouldn't stick to the side of your bag, but not necessarily super slippery either.

My laptop stays there pretty securely. It isn't tied down, so if you inclined the mat a lot, the laptop would probably slide off.

It help for me. Most straps slip from my shoulders. The advantage of this one is twofold: the rubber is very sticky AND it is wedge shaped. By positioning it with the wide edge out, it tends to angle in, towards your body. It's fairly soft rubber, which also provides good cushioning. I use them on all my guitars, which are quite heavy with case covers because the case covers have pockets that I fill with more times like cables, etc.

When you roll the bag and clip it, you can slip it onto something. We clipped it on to the cooler and it worked well. I'm not sure how you would add a strap without reducing the effectiveness.

I really haven't used it for that. I carry it over my shoulder but don't hike or walk around with it a lot. But it seems to be very accessible. And it feels comfortable the way I carry it. Doesn't slip off.

I agree with the others that it helps but does not completely solve the problem. I also got it for padding but returned it as uncomfortable. I am much happier with the Op/Tech products. They are more comfortable and allow me to remove the central shoulder strap part when I don't want that hanging out of my bag.

I am not sure about that, I would imagine if I was the manufacturer that I would just increase the length on the strap rather than the back pad. This would have to be a question asked directly to the manufacturer, they may have that info on their website?

it probably won't slide off but I think it's too small for a 17 inch laptop I love the pad for a netbook or smaller laptop but I have a 17 inch laptop and had to go with something bigger but it could work

I've worn it across my body when biking to a yoga class. The strap is on the longer side so sometimes it will slip off my shoulder but thats from riding a road bike; I don't have that issue when I'm walking around with it on.

It would work better, actually. The length of the strap is so long on mine that I can hardly get it positioned tight enough.

I use it primarily on when I have minimum gear when I ride my motorcycle. The strap that goes underneath the arm is adjustable so you can tighten it or loosen as much as possible. I never had a problem with it slipping off my shoulder or moving while I rode on my bike.

It would be nice except I think that you'd end up in a tangle inside your bag. Why not just throw it over the top for that extra cosiness?

My solution was to stick Velcro on the bottom of my laptop and on the desk. I used the soft side on my laptop, which hasn't affected me carrying it or placing it on other surfaces. It only took two little pieces and the problem was solved.
