Id like to zip both sides of a portable external hard drive case with a drive inside and its connector cord (external drive port to USB-C) protruding out.

Its to keep the drive safer or cushion the fall if it falls accidentally.

Theres not a second zipper on the other side to seal it tho

Get a longer USB cable, run it out the base of wherever the zipper is, and up the outside of the case?

Any way to tie it with a pipe cleaner?
