Many types of side cases have internal cloth bags that fit the case. They zip closed and have handles so you can carry them. Maybe you can buy some to fit your cases.

Different side bags or how to store items?
These bags came with the bike when I bought it but I'm not sure if I'm a big fan.. The side bags kind of puzzle me as when you open the side bags while mounted on the bike, basically everything falls out. Am I missing an internal system that should be there to hold everything from falling out while mounted or is the intent of these bags to load up and never open while mounted?

Those look like Givi E36/E36NA cases yes?
An elastic strap to help keep contents from moving or falling out was once available.
Pdf shows spare parts for these cases.. unfortunately it doesn't look like the interior strap (#15 in photos) is available any longer.

Would know for sure, being the US Givi distributor.
Beyond that: I've owned these cases. Recommend treating them as a "suitcase," remove and lay on some surface to access contents. If you open one while it's on the bike then yes, stuff is likely to fall out.
Center stand also helps. Bike will sit upright, then left case is not angled toward ground.
Liner bag for these is Givi T502B. You lose some storage volume, but then all your stuff can be in one removable bag.

If you are considering soft luggage, these guys are worth checking out:
They're out of British Columbia, I saw them at the Toronto motorcycle show in January, and if I hadn't spent all my money on home improvements this year, there would be a set on my bike by now. I was really impressed with the design, and they clip onto just about any racks you have.

The trader joe bags fit my pelican 1550's perfect, I also put a lanyard on the lid to control how far it opens
