    I recently lost a zipper tab off my M11x Portfolio Case, most likely at the airport somewhere. I contacted Dell to ask if I could just buy a replacement Alienware zipper tab, but they said I would have to buy a whole new bag. I don't suppose anyone has an old, unused or damaged, bag lying around that you would be willing to ship me one of the Alienware zipper tabs for a small fee?

    The thing you actually grab? Can't you just get an old jacket from a thrift store and harvest the tab from that?

    But I guess you want it to match, huh?

    Yeah, the tab you grab to zip/unzip the bag, and I want it to match. I'm weird like that. :)

    I don't think we have replacements for that. Perhaps you can do what Descalzo suggests and just use an old jacket's one. :p

    I contacted Mobile Edge and they shipped a few of the Alienware zipper tabs to me at no charge. Excellent customer service!
