Does anyone have a problem getting this one their shoulder with ONE hand? I saw the strap drop is only 9.5in..It's not in any stores near me to try:(

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 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.

I never had a problem with the strap. It holds comfortably on my shoulders.

That is SO WEIRD. I never even noticed it when I ordered mine! I will say that the strap is tight - it might not be super comfortable for a man with really large hands - but it does have elastic. I wouldn't want it to be loose certainly I use mine all the time, I never even take it out of the case as it is so lightweight. I really like my case - I got it in orange -so I can always find it and the quality seems really good to me - especially for the price.

I don't use the shoulder strap because it tends to slip and fall off my shoulder. I just carry mine by the handle attachment...

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.

I can comfortably sling it onto my shoulder but not across my body... Look at the two pictures that show a man and a woman using the bag, you can see exactly how long the strap is

Probably but why take the chance? I do not like this strap at all. I have the feeling that it will slip off of my shoulder all of the time. I would look at other devices. The thought is great the execution is not so good.

The one I bought was for my right shoulder. However it did not fit very well so I never really used it.

The one I received has 2 straps, not one. I've seen the one with a single strap, and I like mine better.

I never tried to carry it on my shoulder. Pulling it on wheels didn't work very well, so I ended up carrying the bag using the 2 shorter straps.

I'm a big guy and it fits me fine.But it makes it hard to spin the bag around on one shoulder to access stuff in it so I rarely use it.Rarely use the waist strap either, unless I'm hiking in really rough terrain.Use both when I'm visiting someplace that crime could be an issue.

This could be pertinent, depending on your build: I had trouble getting the shoulder straps to be narrow enough side-to-side. I'm 5'6" with a slim/avg build, and the straps just slipped off of my shoulders. Tightening them just made the pretty-stiff straps bend on their edges, so I returned it and got another carrier (Ergo) with softer/more closely set straps straps. Could be just me, though!

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.

Frankly, carrying it over my shoulder was my ONLY option as the bag's wheels don't turn. They go straight and the bag tips over when you round a corner.My workaround was to wear it "crossbody" because, as the other owner mentioned, it's unstable if draped over a shoulder.

Thanks so much! I was nervous thinking I had to purchase the strap separately. Will be ordering it soon...on Friday to be exact :)

Strap is only 16" long measured from where it attaches to the bag on the left to where it attaches on the right. If you are a small person you might be able to put it over your shoulder, but it would be up close under your arm. I can put it over my forearm and cary it at my elbow, but not quite over my shoulder.

On the two sets that I ordered, the x strap came attached. I found though you have to take it off and adjust it so that it fits properly on your shoulder. Put the brace on first and have someone help you to adjust it. The shorter straps go to the arm piece and the longer ones to the front.

I bieve do. Aren't they the same size ? It's a really good strap. If it doesn't fit you can return it no problem. I have a handicap brother who uses his iPad for speech and the strap allows him to go thru his day and not lay it down. He has the griffin survivor on his iPad.
