High quality metal laptop cases, looking forward to one of these soon.

 

Anyone use the Oakley Kitchen Sink pack? I know it says it will hold a 17" lappy, but will it hold an alienware m17x?

 

nevermind................

 

Hi, I don't know if anybody still reads this thread or not but I am looking at purchasing the Voyager Backpack from Targus....I wasn't able to find any video reviews on youtube to check out the size and all that but it looks like it's really a great bag....Does anybody have any experience with it?

 

Mezzi cases..hmmm good find, looks like they have some harder to find hardcases.

 

Thanks. I am searching for the one for me.
They really look good.

 

I just wanted to post, bought an Init bag from Best Buy that I had also seen online.... was on shelf for $35, when I checked out it rang up $24.99.

If you are on a budget, its a super case. The pocket usage is fantastic, very sturdy and comfortable.

If I had to travel with my laptop every single day, Id want something higher end Im sure... but if you are only packing your laptop up once a week or so, this is a fantastic case.

Hi all, I've had a scan through the thread but am struggling to find a bag for an 18 inch laptop, P180HM to be precise. Due to it's weight I need something strong and want something well padded... oh and naturally I want to but something that doesn't cost more than the laptop itself

Any suggestions welcomed.

 

I'd take a look at the Targus XL bag, it should fit.

 

The only information I can find about that bag suggests it's for 17" laptops. I'm intending to order online so I need to be pretty sure it'll house this mammoth. Thanks for the suggestion though

 

Oh and does anyone know of any stockists of cheap Slappa products?

 

Been using a STM Canvas / Leather messenger and it is one of the highest quality bags I have come across.

 

Does anyone know of a good sling bag that'll fit a 11.6 inch net book? Big enough so I can fit accessories and stuff? I'm thinking about Thule...

 

Has anyone else had problems ordering from Slappa? I ordered a Slappa Kiken on April 9 and three weeks later, it still hasn't shipped. The bag wasn't listed as out of stock and ordered supposedly ship the next day... I also emailed and called to leave a message, with no response from Slappa. I'm starting to wonder if I've been scammed or the company went out of business or something.

 

Anyone here have any experience with the Targus Basic messenger bag?

I'm getting my HP dv6t tomorrow and I plan on picking up a Coolmaster U2 cooler. Would anyone know if this bag can hold the laptop, charger, cooler, and maybe a notebook and folder? I hear it's not that roomy. Thanks.

 

doesn't look that roomy judging from the picture.

 

Yeah that's what I've been hearing. Do you have any recommendations for me that'll fit my previous conditions? . I like the style to be simple, non-flashy, and around $30-40 and no more.

 

Ugh... battling the amount of cases to look through for my new Asus....

 

I bought a North Face Surge II. Really good backpack for carrying a laptop plus other gadgets and books.

 

i bought a timbuk2 H.A.L bag about a month ago and its is one of the best bags ive ever owned. i bought in on a pre black friday sale. it has plenty of room for books cables what have you. the laptop pouch fits my 15.6 clevo p150em with a protective sleeve. the quality of the bag is nice over all and im hoping it will last a good long time. and on a plus note it comes with a warranty for it as well. so a good product backed by its manufacture

My bro got me a Timbuk2 bag a couple years back and I think it may be one of the best presents I've ever gotten. I take it with me everywhere and there's hardly any signs of wear. Very sturdy and he got me a large to fit my 17' rig nice and snug. Love it! If you're looking for an everything bag, def consider one.

 

i am having a real difficult time finding a top loader laptop briefcase/messenger bag for a 14" notebook, i bought one from italy but it did not have any brand labeling, it was stolen, i went through the links and i couldn't find anything similar, anyone have any suggestions? i am primarily looking for something synthetic, no leather, waterproof would be nice, but not necessary

it was similar to this



but not quite as bulky, bit smaller with better compartment features. primarily going to store a 1 inch binder with probably a laptop occasionally although i am switching to a tablet pretty soon..

 

Depending on what size of laptop you have, you can any of the sizes, but I use amCase (11 inch for me)

 

Alienware Vindicator.... Think that's the one I will be going for. GS70 should fit nicely.

 

I'm looking for a new backpack to carry around a 15.6" laptop, some binders, notebooks and books all day on campus. The laptop compartment I'd like to have a lot of room and padding; and I'd like the bag to have plenty of support so I won't get too tired. I'd also like pockets to fit my pencils, pens, erasers and calculator along with more room or another pocket for earbuds, usb drives, cable chargers and a wireless mouse.

Right now I'm looking at 3 backpacks right now:

• Timbuk2 Slate Laptop Backpack http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E1O3I00...olid=2L6GIB75OJBQJ&coliid=I54H7JRC77NM5&psc=1
• JanSport All Purpose Backpack http://www.amazon.com/JanSport-All-Purpose-Backpack-Blue/dp/B00IZA4PJO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1422578586&sr=8-2&keywords=JanSport All Purpose Backpack
• JanSport City Scout Backpack http://www.amazon.com/JanSport-T29A008-Parent-City-Scout-Backpack/dp/B00GDB6YJG

Any help and opinions would be greatly appreciated!

 

IMO, purpose-built notebook packs suck. No frames, waist belts that aren't worth the nylon used to make them, the list goes on. Get a proper hiking pack like a Kelty Redwing or a Deuter ACT Trail for your stuff and a padded sleeve to protect the notebook. I've used well over a dozen different packs and bags from Timbuk2 and JanSport and Brenthaven and others and the best out of them all by far is my ACT Trail 32 and Case Logic notebook sleeve that I've used almost every day for the past three years.

 

i have a Caseable sleeve/bag for my M6500. They use recycled plastic for the Neopren and are very well made.

If you don't know which size to buy just ask them.

 

Just got Everiki Titan for all my needs the make is top notch, feels great along with the features.
Hoping It succeeds my Nike MaxAir in a better way which I had used for 7+ years with M15x then AW17 (still alive but the air is gone now on the shoulder straps lol)

 

Hello, everyone. Well it has been a long time since I have been here. My Tom Bihn Empire bag still going strong. That said, looking to update the front page list (some no longer exist). So stay tuned.

Thanks to this thread I ordered a custom Waterfield Laptop Sleeve for the Clevo P650RS that I have on the way. The case got here 4 weeks before the laptop did and it's pretty good looking.

 

I just ordered an MEC outpost messenger bag for travel with my wife's and my electronics. Its only available in Canada however...but 68 bucks and a great water resistant outer. I can't think of a better looking bag for the price.

 

I received the messenger bag, its AWESOME!!!!!!! the red one is now at 45 bucks!

 

Let us know how it fares, I'll be in the market for a new bag soon, my Everki backpack is ~ 7 years old now and wear is starting to show up. I still estimate it has a while to last still, but better plan for a new backpack and MEC is one option I have available.

 

You cannot go wrong with MEC. Besides, if you have a problem...send it back! they are awesome at customer service. Most everything outdoors related I own now is from MEC. A lot of my wifes and my clothing, etc all come from MEC because of their wide range of stuff! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

 

Just quick and hopefully not too ignorant question: is Targus still the No.1 in laptop bags/backpacks business?

I've saved some cash and want to buy a durable bag for my constant travels. Targus appears to be expensive in Europe, so wondering if still worth the reputation.

 

If you are travelling a lot I would look into some different than Targus. Have a look at the mec outpost I have. I know it's Canadian only but something similar would be better . Patagonia have nice ones, also timbuk2 are another durable brand. Targus are just regular bags good for occasional trips. If you are on the move a lot, then grab an outdoor specialized bag for the most wear resistant bags. Even with shipping to you I think the mec outpost messenger bag will be cost effective for you.

 

Thanks for a valuable insight. MEC brand, although relatively unknown in these parts, do look good. 98$ + shipping is quite a bit to swallow, though.

 

it's 98 bucks now? I paid 46 Canadian for mine. I wanted water resistance, not a black business looking case, with lots of space...that fit the bill.

This is what I found (colour other than red, of course). Looks spacious and claims waterproofness and improved durability. I really like it.

Anyone heard of Samsonite quality in this business? They are all over this place and always on some discount.

 

I have the red one.....I did not want a sterile business looking bag.

This is mine!

 

I liked my messenger bag so much I bought one for my parents as well. They go back and forth to Florida every winter. They also travel around in the motorhome all summer. I figured a nice waterproof messenger bag would be good for their computers.
