    does anyone have a chrome bag ( www.chromebags.com) and if so, what size and how do you like it?

    I would like to get one of the messenger bags even though they are not specifically for laptops, but I am wondering how it feels on your back with a laptop w/sleeve in it. They pretty cool and would be good for riding your bike which is why I am interested

    the laptop bags they have might be a little too trendy for me

    I have had one of their messanger bags for a wile now, I get so many compliments. The build quality is really good, the seat belt on the sholder strap turns some heads. Just don't let you friends get cute, and hit the button! :mad:
    As far as laptop case use, the bag I have is not designed for it, a sleeve would be needed. I carry a lot of books/stuff for class and it does not become a burden on my back. I love it, and would reccomend it to anyone.

    This is what I have:

    chromes bags do look really really nice, i might have to get one eventually but for now my circa backback works brilliantly, my N6210 fits perfectly into it, i just put some thick bubble wrap at the bottom :)

    I don't often say this to a bunch of guys in a computer forum, but those are some nice bags. I wish i bought one of those instead of my oh-so-utilitarian crumpler. I like the messengers; the backpacks look like overgrown changepurses.
