    I probably should be asking this in the accessories section, but I figure with that many ppl with z70va there's bound to me somebody that can recommend something to me. So my z70va is coming shortly, and in preparation I have been searching online for a) a good laptop bag (no backpacks plz, I work in a office environment, and don't wanna sport a backback with my suit) b) a good bt mouse that's travel friendly c) bt headset d)anything else you guys would recommend to protect the lappy

    I look forward to seeing the wise Asus experts on this one

    Hey :D

    I'd check out some Crumpler Bags, and also, a sleeve if you want that extra mental comfort your new ASUS is safe ;)

    For Messenger bags:
    Crumpler
    Tom Bihn

    For Sleeves
    Shinza

    There is actually more, I just don't recall them all, I'd check www.ebags.com as well

    Another vote for Crumpler here, got a Cashmere Blazer (biggest messenger bag type) and it is great. Huge, really. Would fit 17" ones, so takes my 15.4" ferrari with ease.

    I'm waiting on a sumdex sleeve as well, ordered from www.ncix.com (it's local to me) so hopefully it will arrive for pickup soonish..

    Ahhh, thats right. I own a Sumdex as well, that was the brand I forgot to mention ;), it's pretty soft, I carry it inside that inside my bag, it doubles as a pillow as well ;)

    I have a 15" powersleeve from Booq

    powersleeve

    I originally bought it for a powerbook that I had...but I sold my powerbook and recently purchased a z70va.

    The z70va fits perfectly in the 15" powersleeve...like a glove. The sleeve is very well built, uses high quality padding, yada yada...

    I took the shoulder strap off and just slide the sleeve into my backpack...works well for me.

    laytonbaker this question is directed at you....

    You're telling me your Z70Va fits in the Booq PowerSleeve 15????????

    The Z70Va's dimensions are 13.9 x 10.7 x 1.5

    The PowerSleeve 15's dimensions for the notebook compartment are 13.75 x 10.9 x 2.0

    Does it really fit??? I want to get one of those Booq sleeves, but I thought the only sleeve from Booq that fit was the PowerSleeve XXL, and that one seems a little bit too big for the Z70Va.

    If it fits I WANNA GET ONE~!!!!!! :D

    Could you please take some pictures of it? PLEASEEEEEEEEE~
