Secure it with a bungee?

I wouldn't bother with a holster for want of a missing strap. Get yourself into John Lewis or other haberdashery type shop and get a length of velcro and just thread it through the webbing and around the seatpost. You could even use something else like a toestrap chopped down to size.

All the straps.
Even the KTM bag needed extra straps. I say needed.... I think I needed them more than the bag did, to know it couldn't go anywhere.
You can buy narrow sticky-backed velcro from the haberdashery lady in E&C shopping centre I think. Minimum three points to hold the bag to the bike, but ideally four - two on the seat rails and two on the seat post, then it's tight and distributed.
I think I had about 5 straps, but the KTM is less malleable, nylon or something.

Help needed...
I bought Alpkit's tapered dry bag because i thought this would be the cheapest way to carry some extra luggage on my road bike.

On the website they say you can attach it under the seat using the straps provided. I realise this isn't going to be as study as a proper system like the Koala, Apidura or a holster/bag kit, but i can't get it to work at all.
Within 2 minutes of cycling the bag swings away from the seat post and bounces around on my rear wheel. It's missing the dedicated seat post velcro, instead relying on a strap under the seat and one round the seatpost.
I think i'm just going to have to splash out on a holster, but has anyone had any luck getting one of these to work on it's own?
