can the strap be tightened to act as a handle to carry in hand

The strap is adjustable and can be shortened, but only by about half. I think you will still have a bit of 'dangle' going on.

The strap can be tightened to about 26 inches. I have mine that way to carry it.

You can shorten the strap to have about a 15 inch drop. Keep looking, this bag is not great.

It does not. However, there are handy loops at the top of each back strap, a person could fashion their own. The handle is not wide enough to go over my Cabelas Alaskan Guide suitcase handle, which I am sure is standard width.

Yes, it has a strap handle on the top (like the one on the side) and wheels on the bottom for easier transport.

Yes but cross strap will rub agains leash where it exits the handle. Eventually it will saw the strap in half. I put a small screw in the crack just behind the hole where leash exits & problem solved. The leash has been slightly changed since I bought one 6 years ago so this was not a problem then.

There's a strap that goes around the handle, that holds it pretty securely.

Yes it has an adjustable black long strap inside the small pocket that can be attached to the bag for easier carrying. My teenager always use this strap to free her hands up.

Sorry, it has neither handles or straps. It is light and easy to carry, but you would need both hands to do so.

No not really. The straps are really only made to be held in the hands. True to its name, it's a tote~

No. Nothing like that. However, like the other guy says, it's a highly recommend bag I use it everyday. In fact it's right next to me as I respond to your question. You might be able to use one or both of the handles to go around the luggage handle bar. Or maybe you can have a loop added on by a good tailor. My point is, this bag is so worth buying that I would try to find a way be to make it what you want it to be.

no....you might want to find a case that incorporates that...although I think one could find a way of strapping this case for carrying if that is your desire.

I use the contour handle all the time to carry my bag. The handle fits well in my hand, it is, however, just a little too short to put over my shoulder.

I find it convenient. It is part of the chair so it can't be lost. There isn't really a handle, rather a draw string to close the bag. I don't Cary it by this. A handle would be nice.

No handle or strap. Just wrap with your hand. No problem to carry with your hand.

Yes. Just don't swing it around while holding the handle to much, it will come off if abruptly tugged upon.

You can adjust the tightness of the thumb strap so it should not be an issue.

The bag doesn't have the type of handle that you would expect on a tote bag or something similar; it only comes with an adjustable shoulder strap. I suppose you could shorten the strap to make a "hand handle," but even at its shortest length I can still slip my entire arm through it. I hope this helps!

Weird, I never noticed that in the picture. No, it does not have the strap and handle depicted when open. There is however a small handle (not nearly as nice as the one depicted) to assist with carrying it when it is closed. I do have the larger size (36 inches).
