Abstract
A handle assembly include right and left straps secured to a handle, the right and left straps each have first magnetic elements secured thereto. A case has second magnetic elements mounted thereto, such mounted to the case with a portion of the right or left strap secured between itself and the case. The magnetic attraction between the first and second magnetic elements draws the handle toward the case. The case may define a recess such that the handle is drawn into the recess and does not protrude.
