In the spirit of DIY info sharing: The patches were sewn with whip stitches of Coats Extra Strong upholstery thread using a mid-size upholstery needle to punch through the denim. I've been holding things in place with quilting pins while working (and dumped a whole box of them on the floor at one point.)
Also, the Deathspell Omega patch at the top right of the back did not have any red in it when I got it, but I just used a red Sharpie to fill in the flames/tongue and balance the color side-to-side.
If that one is perfect for you, I would just attach shoulder straps to it yourself. Then you can get the perfect bespoke strap with the exact padding you want, attached as well as you want. It's not hard at all to attach a couple swivels for the strap to clip onto. It won't be costly either.

If you haven't sewn before, this is a super easy low-cost first project and you will end up with the exact laptop case you want.
I use this upholstery kit as the regular thread was prone to twisting and breaking and the needles weren't sharp enough for some places when the denim was double or triple thick.
In your FAK/ repair kit throw in a couple large pieces of tenacious tape, some duct or gaffer tape, small tube of adhesives (shoe goo and seam grip ), Leukotape, tiny spool of heavy thread, and 3 large needles. UL gear is great and you definitely dont need some ultra strong 1000D codura nylon backpack that weighs 9 lbs on its own, but it is fragile and a few multiuse repair items can go A LONG WAY.
