"Flight case"
I can't any good info on backpacks since every time it's brought up, it's bashed in the other forums as unprofessional. I've seen a lot of backpacks around AOC, and I need to figure out which one would work best with a Luggage Works stealth. What have you guys found that works best?

I’ve used this eBags slim laptop backpack for the past few years and it’s worked out well and still looks great. It has lots of compartments and is very well thought out. You can slide it over your suitcases handles either upright, or sideways. I’ve had several folks ask me where I purchased it. When you look at it on the ebags website you can scroll down a bit and watch a video that tells everything about it. It’s on sale now too!

I use an eagle Creek bag that slips on top of my stealth roller's handle. Works as a laptop, flight bag, etc. Its not a backpack, but there are hidden backpack straps if you really wanted to chuck it on your back. I think it's the older model of this:

And there’s a 50% discount for FedEx employees when you create an account IDing with FedEx.

I use a backpack from High Sierra. It slips over my roller handle and has more pockets than I need. Look here...https://shop.highsierra.com/backpacks/
Find several you like and then search Amazon, Costco, etc. I got mine at Costco for half the price of the link above.
I’m a big fan of the backpack as it gives me a comfortable bag to take on a layover walkabout.
Also, when you walk up the stairs to the plane, it leaves a hand free to use the handrail. You may laugh at this but....when the company denies workers comp after your slip and fall because your hands were full you won’t laugh anymore.

I spent a lot of time hunting and found the Timbuk2 Ace bag to be the perfect fit (and love it). It’s a rectangular backpack (so maybe a bit ugly to some). Backpack straps can be stored and the bag nicely turned 90 degrees for attaching to a luggageworks J-hook. Perfect amount of storage as well.
I’d buy it again and again.

I’d just buy a nice Swiss Gear backpack w/ loops on the shoulder straps. Like this:

And then buy two carabiners, attach em to the backpack loops and they’ll snap onto the Luggage Works handles nicely.
