    Just received my L502X and now I'm in the market for a travel bag for it. It's the 9 cell battery pack and I want to find a case that will comfortably fit the laptop and misc accessories.
    Any recommendations, gents?

    Hello Carbo, I just purchased the L702 and found a great sleeve and backpack that will fit the sleeve and a 9 cell battery in the main compartment. They also have one for L502, I have a nice London Fog rolling laptop bag, however it is just to bulky when on the run. I really like this backpack. It is very flat and doesn't hang or droop like a regular one. It has plenty of room in it for my ipad, ipod and tons of other stuff. Good luck with your search.

    Thanks Carbo, I have the Timbucktu messenger bag myself. It is a nice heavy duty bag. However it tends to get a bit uncomfortable and in the way when slung over the shoulder. I tried the V7 backpack out the other day and was quite comfortable. I checked into a hotel with rolling cooler and small rolling luggage bag. With the V7 on my back everything was quite manageable. I think you should give it a try at a little over $20. I have found this to be the most comfortable and manageable of the 3 I own. If you don't care for it just send it back. Doesn't hurt to try it out. This has a lot of room, headphone output thru bag, 4 pen holder and tons of room.
