    That's what I have and I like it. I got mine on Amazon for $39. I like the fact it looks more like a case but can be used as a backpack and has plenty of extra room.

    Quick question: does that Targus one linked above have room for a power brick? It looks more like a laptop sleeve with a handle and shoulder strap.

    EDIT: I got a hefty power brick.
