GearGrip G2 Gaming Computer Harness

PROS:This GripGear G2 PC harness came exactly as described. This harness does not look ridiculous when on my desktop PC. The webbing and build quality are excellent. There are no ugly extra strings or material hanging off from the manufacturing process. The carrying handle is thick nylon and sleeved in thick rubber like a duffel bag. The webbing is 2" wide nylon like seat belt material, and doesn't scratch my large, 58" circumference, NZXT H440 PC case. The 2" wide clips are made of a strong plastic. They hold firmly together and make a nice snapping sound when connected. The 2 side pockets are durable and well stitched. The large main pocket is lined inside and out with soft neoprene, (the side that touches the PC is also lined with a thin layer of foam as well), and easily holds a full-sized gaming keyboard, large mouse pad, and a Windows tablet. The smaller, outer pocket is nylon, much like a side pocket of a standard duffel bag, and is large enough to hold a large gaming mouse (Logitech G600 Mouse) with an Xbox 360/Xbox One controller for using with some PC games. The two included velcro cable tie straps are enough to bundle up the essential cords for any desktop PC gamer, power cords, video cables, keyboard/mouse cables, and network cables.Actually carrying my rather large desktop PC using this harness is quite easy. The handle of the harness (at least when used with my particular PC case) is slightly off-centered, which moves the bottom of my PC out and away from my legs when walking, so I don't have to hold my PC awkwardly off to the side to avoid kicking it and risk dropping my PC, which is a good thing when carrying something so heavy, valuable, and fragile.Using the included shoulder strap is much like carrying any large duffel bag. Using the shoulder strap across the chest is highly recommended, as it is more comfortable for reasonable distances due to the more evenly distributed weight. The shoulder strap is also helpful when walking up/down stairs, as this strap holds the PC up higher from the ground than just holding it by the single top handle, so you won't hit your PC on the steps.CONS: Aside from fitting the essentials for any desktop PC gamer, (power cords, video cables, keyboard/mouse cables, and network cables), Not much else could fit in the cable-tie straps as-is, but these cable loops can easily be extended with the addition of a simple strip of 3/4" wide velcro.The shoulder pad section of the shoulder strap is made of semi-flexible rubber, which is NOT padded. Extended use of the shoulder strap may cause discomfort if not wearing thick clothing.While the shoulder strap's end clips are made of thick metal and have a nice glossy black finish, the clips they hook onto on the harness itself are made of a medium-thickness black plastic. Only time will tell how long the plastic shoulder clips last.OTHER THOUGHTS:A backpack-style version with two shoulder straps would be a nice alternative for new larger, heavier desktops. Also, some covers (removable?) for the front and rear panels of the PC case would be a nice feature. That would also add areas to include small pouches for things like mouse batteries and USB flash drives.A little bit of foam padding on the included shoulder strap would be nice too, but it's nothing that a little soft packaging foam and some black wrapping cant fix.I recommend this to anyone who transports their desktop PC or has a desktop that's too big or heavy (up to 70lbs) to carry easily.

Hangs on the hip a bit which if walking more than a block can be uncomfortable. Overall is well made and carries all my computer gear for gaming besides monitor.

I have had this strap for about 6 months. I've probably used it around 20 times. Today the shoulder strap broke and my PC came crashing down on the concrete just outside my home.My case has a large dent on one corner and I'm currently running a scan of both my hard drives to see if they were damaged. I might have gotten lucky. But the case is another matter.Also the location for the clips aren't ideal. Over time, there have been a couple fasteners on the side of my case that have been bent by the clips.I won't be getting another one. Instead I think I'll purchase a collapsible dolly meant for luggage. I think that'll make it easier to transport anyway.

Love this thing. Nobody else makes it so it's hard to put it in reference to anything else, but, I'll say this. I've toted about two different rigs with this and it has held up very well.The first was my main gaming rig to a LAN party, which is a huge assemblage of components inside of a Fractal Design Define XL R2, nice big 1000W PSU, heavy air CPU cooler, four foot thick PCB on a Gigabyte Ultra-Durable board, and miles of wire. Thing weighs about 60 pounds probably. It was definitely pushing the limits of this thing as far as size as there was not much strap left after wrapping it around, but it held true. I was concerned about weight but I decided to push on and strap this ~$60 harness around my $2700 rig...And it held!The other rig I had in here was a sleeper build with a small LCD monitor strapped to the side. It also handled this well no problems at all. This combo was much lighter than the Fractal.The buckles are a nice thick plastic and are very wide and bite well. The straps are a thickly woven nylon. This is not a cheapo.There is a metal rod on the top to keep the straps evenly spaced, I would say about 1.5 feet long. You will not change the spacing of the straps due to this so make sure you have that much contiguous space on the top of your case. My Fractal did not underneath so the straps were in sort of a "V" shape.The extra supply caddy for your keyboard/mouse/etc is entirely removable if you so desire.If you need this sort of thing, this is really your only option, otherwise you could go the route of fabricobbling your own out of Horrible Freight orange ratchet straps, which if that is the case, I would recommend this harness for the extra cash.A folding hand truck would also work unless stairs are a thing. In my case they were. This works.

Like another reviewer said my shoulder strap broke too but lucky for me I wasn't transporting my box anywhere just testing the sureness of the stitching. Only a couple of things I can come up with the improve the design, definitely reinforcing the shoulder strap anchor points. and also on the removable accessory pouch if they had some boning material to help keep the pocket from collapsing on itself due to the elastic that would be nice also. Maybe for the G3 if they ever make one.
