    I have ordered i9300 and will be here on tuesday.anyways, i need to make a decision for the carrying case..
    I want a sporty bag...also the budget is important, i am thinking something lower than 50bucks...
    Is there any suggestions on that? Who is using which one and is he/she satisfied with it?

    I got Booq's PowerSleeve XXL, and it seems to be one of my favorite, less expensive bag.

    I've tried backpacks, but the laptop weight plus my book weight was too much for me. The backpacks are always so big and bulky for that matter. I also have Kensington Contour 17in Pro bag, but like the backpack, if you put a couple of books in it, it gets heavy very quickly.

    It might be a little more expensive than your budget, but I think it is worth it. You have enough room for small accessories, papers/pens, plus your powerbrick.

    I remember seeing the targus 17" top loading in a store a while ago. They were pretty nice (not classical leather), not too pricey, and most importantly extremely light. Might wanna check those (most retail stores have them, unlike booq)

    If you want to see more detailed pictures of the booq XXL search the review section. I remember posting some pictures there last year when I got mine.
