    I posted this topic over at Notebook Forums as well, but I want as much input as possible. I ordered the E1705 yesterday, and didn't like the backpacks Dell offered. I want something cool as well as protective. I really like the Oakley Icon 2, but I'm still unsure if it will hold a 17in laptop. I've spent the better part of the day today searching through these forums and other forums around the net, but I'm still stuck.

    So, what are all you 17inch-ers (especially those with the E1705) carrying your laptops around in? I'd prefer a backpack, but I'm open to suggestions. And just in case anyone knows, will a 17in laptop fit in the Oakley Icon 2?

    Mobile Edge has the best 17" backpack out there, at least I think so.
