    i just got a 17 inch toshiba and my two cases dont work, even when i take out the dividers inside them. what cases out there work for 17 inch? ideally i dont want to spend a fortune, but at the same time would like something kinda trendy looking and functional. basically i need it for airplanes and traveling.

    Alright do they only make sleeves or do they have regular cases too? I'm looking for a regular case but I just need to make sure it fits 17 inch bec even ones that advertise 17inch dont always fit.

    look it up yourself, sfbags.com
    they have several bags and make customized bags for the laptop dimension you specify. No need to worry about 17inch not fitting.

    check out Spire also. I got a nice bag for my Sager 5793. 17" machines will fit just fine. They also have backpacks - good stuff.
