I have a Crumpler $7 Million Dollar Home bag and am wondering if anyone has successfully modified the carrrying strap to make it more "secure." By "secure" I mean that I find that mine slips easily off my shoulder and needs a bit more "tackiness" to stay in place. IMO the reason for this is that the bottom of the velcro closure, removable shoulder pad has fabric on the bottom vs something more rubbery to add grip. Anyone with an idea? Has anyone else experienced this and found a successful modification?

Instead of wearing over one shoulder, how about wearing it over your head? Is that mod enough? :p

Yes, I think that is how these were designed to be worn.

Wow! Guess I didn't receive the instructional insert on "how to wear the bag!" Is that just assumed since it's styled as a "messenger type bag?" I'll give that a shot . . . now, was that over the left . . . or right . . . side of the head? Thanks for the visual Aravena!

Yeah, wear it across your chest, much better, and more comfortable.

definately across the chest, the million dollar homes can be worn either way, left or right, however with the messenger bags with the 3rd strap they are made to wear on the right side, I wear mine on the left however so i don't get the extra support, luckily that's just a laptop bag and not a camera bag.

I've got a $6MDH and wear it across the chest - it's much more comfortable and works much better than having it off-the-shoulder.
