    My 9300 should be here by tuesday and I am looking for a case for it. Not sure if I want a shoulder bag or backpack, +/- of each? For those with a 9300 what do you have?

    I would probably get a messenger type back. I've tried using backpacks and end up hating it because it weighs so much. Plus the backpacks are bulky.

    There is booq Powersleeve XXL that is very good. Also Kensington has a 17' contour pro bag that I've used before. It has alot of room for accessories.

    My favorite to use is Tekstyl's Tekmod bag. It's light, portable, you can use it with the laptop inside the bag, etc. My only complaint is that it can be a tight fit, so you do have to be careful sometimes. Once I learned how to get it all set up, it wasn't so tight.

    i had the same problem, deciding what type of bag to get for my XPSII, but i got the 17" contour pro bag for 75$ at circut city, and i absoultly LOVE it. it is kinda bulky hanging down from your side, but i can store EVERYTHING i want to take around with me in there, game, cds, dvds, headphones, mouse, all types of cables, business stuff (pens, cards etc) and it also comes with another sleave type case that can be takin out of the bag for just transporting your laptop, its really ausom, i love it!

    Is that the one with the wheels and extending handle? I am in the same situation. Need a backpack that is worthy of my XPSII and trackball (eventualy BT when I can find one), pwr supply, BT headphones (Creative) , and other stuff. I have been looking at the Booq
    Boa XL 2006, does anyone know if the XPSII will fit in the Powersleeve 17? The 17 fits in the Boa, but the XXL aparently doesn't.
