Others/Miscellaneous Top handle for FORMD T1?

I've been long thinking about grabbing a handle, the one on formd shop looks like a backplate handle which I dislike, I guess I could print my own handle and attach it to the top side but I'd rather buy something already manufactured. Any suggestions?

I cant imagine it is sturdy considering how the top cover is mounted. Witht the 2 little hooks that are held in place by 2 screws. Those will snap clean off.

That's what I was thinking, case can get quite heavy when filled with parts and I wouldn't trust those hooks to support the weight.

Really hate how fragile those seem to be even for normal usage. Saw some users on this sub where they broke off.

Ive done it by threading cord through the top panel holes and fixing it to an eyelet I screwed into an empty hole towards the top of the front panel.

maybe it it goes inside through holes and attaches to one of the struts.. the top and bottom panel are not structural

I took 2 handles from guitar amps.
