Abstract: A method and implementing system are provided for enabling the carrying of a portable computer or similar electronic device along with one or more accessory devices in a single package which uses an accessory device to form a handle by which the electronic device may be carried. In one example, an AC power adapter cord is embedded within a carrying strap and the computer is designed to use attachment devices for securing the carrying strap around the computer casing. The carrying strap is also used to form a handle for carrying the portable computer and the AC power adapter cord together as a single package. In another embodiment, the carrying strap is “U” shaped and comprised of a series of sections to fit snugly around the outside edge of a laptop computer. In another example, a computer security cable is used in a similar manner to form a handle for carrying the computer together with the security cable.
