I see all kinds of mandolin cases with different mounts for shoulder and/or backpack straps, and thought I'd share what has worked well for me for the past 30+ years, on several cases.
I bought a couple brass latch kits from Lowes, and used the inverted "U" shaped clasp holder, along with T-nuts, machine screws and key rings to make mounts for a clip-on shoulder strap. For the side mount, the T nuts are inside the case accessory pocket.
This arrangement allows easy shoulder carrying, with the case pointing down and out of the way when going through doorways or crowds, etc. and since the straps are attached on the side of the case, it still sits flat on the floor.
