1. A magnetic backpack handle device comprising:
at least one handle magnet;
at least one backpack magnet;
a backpack handle;
a backpack bag;
the backpack handle comprising a handle housing, a first attachment mechanism, and a second attachment mechanism;
the backpack bag comprising a proximal exterior surface and a pair of shoulder straps;
the handle housing comprising a first housing end and a second housing end;
the at least one handle magnet being integrated into the backpack handle;
the proximal exterior surface being a rear padded surface of the backpack bag, adjacent to the pair of shoulder straps;
the at least one backpack magnet being integrated into the backpack bag, adjacent to the proximal exterior surface;
the backpack handle being mounted adjacent to the proximal exterior surface of the backpack bag;
the first housing end being mounted onto the proximal exterior surface by the first attachment mechanism;
the second housing end being mounted onto the proximal exterior surface by the second attachment mechanism;
the first attachment mechanism and the second attachment mechanism being flexible; and
the at least one handle magnet being operatively coupled to the at least one backpack magnet, wherein a position of the backpack handle in relation to the proximal exterior surface and a magnetic field of attraction between the at least one backpack magnet and the at least one handle magnet are used to transition the backpack handle from a deployed configuration to a stowed configuration and vice versa.
