Default Back Pack Straps for Hard Case

I was wondering if anyone makes a set of back Pack Straps to attach to any Hard Guitar case?
My search has only turned up one called Backaxe, that reviews say are a pain to set up. I did see one that is a nylon case with straps that your hard case zips in to ,but seems to be discontinued.
Any leads? I sometimes like to take long walks and bring my guitar along to play and it would be nice to carry it like a backpack.

I just got a backaxe last week that I'll be trying on a multihop plane trip this month.

I'm impressed with it. Was not hard to set up at all and very comfortable. Just tightened a few straps. easy to get on and off the case. It's a bit of a spider web but not too bad and the straps that go around the bottom of the case make a lot of sense. Will give the luggage guys a hand hold if I have to gate check.

I was starting to look around the house for old backpack parts when somebody on the site pointed me at it. For $40 not at all worth my time to make something that would not have been as good.

I like a gig bag a lot more as my case is heavy. But for this multi hop trip on small planes don't want to risk it.
