1. An extension handle, comprising: a handle portion comprising a first handle rod having a proximal end and a distal end, the first handle rod attached to an item of luggage so that the first handle rod is capable of being slid from a retracted position to an extended position relative to the item
1. An extension handle, comprising: a handle portion comprising a first handle rod having a proximal end and a distal end, the first handle rod attached to an item of luggage so that the first handle rod is capable of being slid from a retracted position to an extended position relative to the item of luggage;an engagement latch configured to fix the proximal end of the first handle rod relative to the item of luggage when the first handle rod is in the extended position;a ring-shaped grip coupled to the distal end of the first handle rod, the ring-shaped grip comprising a push-button and a motion transfer ring set within an interior space of the ring-shaped grip and coupled to the push-button such that the motion transfer ring is configured to move linearly when the push-button is depressed;a motion transfer rod that passes through an opening connecting the interior space of the ring-shaped grip to an interior space of the handle portion, wherein the motion transfer rod is coupled to the motion transfer ring and configured to extend linearly into the interior space of the handle portion when the motion transfer ring moves linearly; andan actuator disposed in the interior space of the handle portion, the actuator coupled to the motion transfer rod and to the engagement latch, wherein the actuator is configured to move linearly in the direction of the engagement latch when the motion transfer rod extends linearly into the interior space of the handle, and the engagement latch is configured to disengage when the actuator moves linearly in the direction of the engagement latch, wherein the motion transfer rod is configured to rotate relative to the actuator. 2. The extension handle of claim 1, wherein the ring-shaped grip is coupled to the distal end of the first handle rod by a neck portion having a first end coupled to the distal end of the first handle rod and a second end attached to the grip, wherein the neck portion is configured to deform elastically about a rotational axis between the first and second ends of the neck portion when the grip is rotated about the rotational axis. 3. The extension handle of claim 2, wherein the neck portion has a range of motion in permitting the grip to rotate at most one hundred and eighty degrees from one end of the range of motion to the other end of the range of motion. 4. The extension handle of claim 1, further comprising a second handle rod having a proximal end and a distal end, the second handle rod coupled to the first handle rod and disposed parallel to the first handle rod, and wherein the ring-shaped grip is further coupled to the distal end of the second handle rod. 5. The extension handle of claim 4, further comprising a pocket disposed between the first handle rod and the second handle rod. 6. The extension handle of claim 1, wherein the motion transfer rod is configured to rotate relative to the motion transfer ring. 7. The extension handle of claim 1, wherein the ring-shaped grip is substantially toroidal. 8. The extension handle of claim 1, further comprising: a fold-out tray comprising a main panel, the main panel having a distal end, a proximal end, and a work surface; anda connector coupled to the first handle rod and coupled to the proximal end of the main panel, the connector permitting the fold-out tray to be rotated between a first position in which the work surface is substantially parallel to the first handle rod and a second position in which the work surface is substantially perpendicular to the first handle rod. 9. The extension handle of claim 8, wherein the connector is a first connector, and wherein the fold-out tray further comprises a leaf coupled to the main panel by a second connector configured to permit the leaf to rotate between a folded position in which a first surface of the leaf is resting on the work surface of the main panel and a deployed position in which the first surface of the leaf is substantially adjacent and parallel to the work surface of the main panel. 10. The extension handle of claim 9, wherein the second connector comprises a hinge. 11. The extension handle of claim 8, wherein the distal end of the main panel includes a lip. 12. The extension handle of claim 1, wherein the first handle rod is slidably engaged in a chamber having an opening so that the first handle rod is capable of being slid out of the opening into an extended position in which substantially all of the first handle rod except for the proximal end of the first handle rod is outside of the chamber. 13. The extension handle of claim 12, wherein the chamber is an interior of a second handle rod. 14. The extension handle of claim 13, wherein the extension handle is a telescoping handle, and wherein the second handle rod is a stage in the telescoping handle. 15. The extension handle of claim 12, wherein the chamber is incorporated in the item of luggage. 16. The extension handle of claim 15, wherein the engagement latch is a first engagement latch, and further comprising a second engagement latch configured to fix a position of the first handle rod relative to the chamber. 17. The extension handle of claim 16, wherein the second engagement latch is slidably engaged in the first handle rod, and wherein the second engagement latch is configured to be moved between (i) an engaged position fixing the first handle rod within the chamber and (ii) a disengaged position in which the engagement latch is retracted into the first handle rod and does not fix the first handle rod within the chamber.
