    If you guys have, what do you think of it? Is it high quality? Is it fairly priced?

    I have the Orion Alienware messenger bag. I can say it is high quality and has a lot of space, enough for two 17" laptops with all their stuff. Some people have complained that it wears off in the bottom from hard everyday use, well, I cant say anything on that point because my M17x is on the desk everyday and I use the bag only when I travel, what I do not so often. About the price, it is not the cheapest but I think it's worth it, to have the "native" bag for your Alien ;)

    I'd rather go with a leather bag personally. Leather just lasts forever.

    Have you used any 17inch laptop leather bags that you liked? If you have I'd love to see them.

    @ magneto: You can always have the alienware logo stitched on?

    I have the messenger bag as well. Don't travel heavily with it (isn't that what the backpack is for?). It has held up very nicely over the past year. I even carried 2 17" laptops as advertised and it did VERY well. Don't know what people are saying about the bottom wearing out. Maybe during year two I will experience that issue. Dunno. All in all I love it.

    I have the messenger bag also...
    It has been roughed up a bit since July '10
    I have scratched that Alien head big time.
    The only problem I have with it is the shoulder strap.
    It wants to slide off my shoulder sometimes.
    It is a quality bag.
