Are the backpack straps removable or can they be stored in any way? I'm just curious because if this is used as a checked bag I wouldn't want the backpack straps to get ripped off. Anyone had any problems with this?

I always take the straps off and stow them in the mesh pocket on the inside of the 'lid'. When I reach my destination, I open the bag, throw my carry on in it, take the straps out - and I'm on my way with 1 bag on my back.

You can remove them, but the best way to go is to just cinch them down tight and tuck in the ends of the webbing. These things go all over the world and are regularly beaten up by some of the most screwed up conveyors and negligent baggage handlers on the planet. I'm sure it's been known to happen from time to time, but I have yet to hear of it. These are really bomber and extremely well thought out pieces of gear. Hope this helps.
