    I saw this case recently, but I'm not sure it will fit my zx5000 15.4" screen. I know it says for 15", but I measured the pocket and it looks like it will expand to 14".

    Anyone know if this will fit a 15.4" screen laptop?

    This is the only case I found that I liked.

    Not sure why they don't offer this in a large size....

    Fishcube,

    If your notebook does not exceed these dimensions (from the Targus site), then it should fit the notebook.

    Interior Dimensions:
    13" x 2" x 11.6"

    I think the bags interior width is 1" too small. You may want to take a look at this list of bags that will fit a ZT3000 (15.4" LCD), so it should fit your ZX5000 as well.

    You may even want to consider the HP/Targus Evolution Series. They have a wide range of professional looking bags to backpack style bags to fit all the HP/Compaq product lines.

    The HP/Targus Evolution HP300 should fit your notebook just fine.

    Thanks, but I've already checked out the others, didn't care for them. I know about the dimensions being 1" smaller on length, but as I said the pocket seems to stretch about 1/2" each direction. I wonder if Staples would let me take my laptop in and try it?

    I was just wondering if anyone had a similiar laptop in this bag.

    I guess I'll just keep looking.

    Just a heads up, Venom has one of those new Targus/HP bags (or will have one soon) and we'll have a full review once he's had it for a few weeks.

    Also, I see the lowest price on those cases is $60...ouch. The one I was looking at was $30, which is what I want to spend.
