Could you help me find a bag?

Hello everyone, ChazMan here.

I just recieved my new notebook (review coming soon BTW ), and I am in need of a new bag because this laptop is a bit longer in the front than a normal 15.4" notebook - so it doesn't fit in my Dell bag anymore (a shame because that's my favorite bag).

I'm willing to spend around or preferably under $100, but I'm flexible. I'd like it to be leather, because that is what my current bag is made out of - I like the feel and look of it very much. I'll consider other materials though if they are durable and good looking.

I not a fan of backpacks...regular bag is fine. Just needs a carry strap. A uniform color is preferable...my current bag is all black.

My laptop's approximate dimensions are 14.5 width, 11.5 inches front to back, and 1.5 inches thick.

I've looked at this bag from eBags.com - something like that would be nice.
This bag also caught my attention.
Thanks for your help!

 

Chaz -- I used this bag for my Asus Z70: http://www.ebags.com/targus/blacktop_messenger_case/product_detail/index.cfm?modelid=18772

It's made of ballistic nylon, which I've found to be great for a notebook bag. It looks great and is very tough. In fact, I got rid of all my leather travel gear and replaced it with ballistic nylon cases/bags.

Here are a couple pics of my Asus in the bag:

 

Jack thanks a million . That bag fits my laptop perfectly, plus it looks really nice. Price makes it even better....I think i will have to buy that - it's the best nylon bag I've seen.

Yes, I was thinking about giving up leather because those bags got quite expensive...and they are heavier.

I'll let you know if I order it.

Cool! Hope it works for you!

That is one cool table and chair combo you got going in your pics there.

 

Thanks, G-Money! I found that little setup in a local antique/consignment store. It's perfect for my swingin' single-guy bachelor pad loft. HA!!

 

Hey guys - I fixed my beloved Dell bag - I figured out how to take out some of the padding, so now the notebook fits very snugly - can't believe I didn't think of that before!

Ah, well, thanks for the suggestion anyway Jack - I'll be sure to pick that up if I get another comptuer.

 

i guess you fixed your problem chazman but you should look at chromebags.com they have some great looking bags, those kevlar lined sailcloth ones are great looking!

 

Thanks for the link circa86 - much appreciated!

 

Why buy a new bag if you can fix your current bag to work for you?

BTW, my Sager 5720 should be in my hands by 11/5!

Let me tell you Jack - the waiting for it to arrive will be the end of you!

Try not to think about the notebook period - that was the only way I managed not to go insane.

Heh be sure to tell us your thoughts!

 

Yeah, the anticipation is definitely building. This is different from any other computer I've ever bought. This will seem odd, but in a way, I almost don't want to get it. I'm so concerned that it's gonna be the most awesome computer ever... but it'll just be too big to be practical as a mobile platform for me. I'm worried that I'll fall in love with the 5720, but have to send it back. If I do send it back, I'll get the Sager 5320 or Dell M70. But, neither of those notebooks will be the powerhouse that is the 5720. You can really drive yourself insane with this.
