    That made me think of my old JNCO Kangaroos I used to have...the M11X might have actually fit in the rear pocket of those things...33" wide at the bottom,those things were crazy!

    On topic though,I looked around quite a bit and settled on this: http://www.walmart.com/ip/SWISS-GEAR-SINGLE-GUSSET-COMP-CASE/12534550

    A lil big but has a vlecro divider to adjust the fit that's need and the M11X fits perfectly when inserted vertically :) Lots of extra storage space as well and only $40.

    I'm currently using a caselogik esling. It's the smallest I've seen that fits the M11x. It's almost too snug. Also has plenty of space to hold extra items.

    I plan to get this Belkin backpack.

    I am also considering the Logitech suggested by SAIKOUUU but have the same question as Spunky424.

    The Logitech one looks great and is at a great price point atm. The only thing is that hard outter shell is easy to scratch from the reviews I have read.

    I may get one anyways just to look like a ninja.

    Currently, I am using the Swissgear/Wenger Pegasus which is for 17" notebooks. I like it alot but get something smaller since I do not use a 17" laptop anymore. ATM I have a Sumo 12" notebook sleeve otw today from Amazon.

    that backpack looks pretty good. nice and thin. i wonder if the m11x fits the same way that netbook does. if so that would be a great alternative.

    I carry my netbook around in the Dakine Transfer backpack - works extremely well and is very comfortable. they make pretty good travel gear in my opinion. my backpack fits up to 13 inch notebooks i believe, and has plenty of room for school books, supplies, and gadgets. it also has a sorta 'hidden' compartment if you're carrying files and or folders.

    @Spunky424 - are you talking about the Belkin backpack?

    I like the logitech backpack but I am just hoping its not too bulky because it will be troublesome to fit in the overhead compartment on a flight due to its hard shell.

    @Spunky424 - I saw the video review. The fact that it is slim makes it a winner in my books :) I have been using Wenger for my Acer for a long time and it is a bulky backpack. So this time I am looking for something thinner.

    The price for the Belkin went up. It was around $28-$29 few months back. I really like the Jet/Cabernet color scheme but it has been sold out for months.

    It is a little bulky. I have had it for several months, and it can get scratched. But, the scratches aren't really that noticeable. It has a rubbery feel to it, like the back of some cell phones. It is VERY comfortable to wear, no matter how much I cram into it.

    I love this backpack. However, I am not planning on using it for my M11x. I want something a little smaller. But, if you want something that is going to protect your computer, it can't be beat. The thing is a tank!

    Phil is spot-on. I do plan on using this Logitech one for my m11x. I currently tote my 16" HP around in it and no matter how much crap is in there it always feels good on your shoulders/back. It is a steal at the price and it looks pretty BA. The hard shell on the outside is not flexible at all so whoever was wondering about that is out of luck. All around though it is the best, and coolest, laptop bag I've ever had. With this and the sturdy construction of the m11x, nothings going to happen to your lappy. :cool:

    Can you take some pictures of this bag with the M11x, please? I've been looking at this bag too and it looks really nice and it's only 20 euro :) But I'd like to see what it looks like "in real life" with the M11x.
    Thanks in advance!!

    I got the Mobile Edge Ultra Portable Messenger Bag for 8.9-Inch to 13-Inch Netbook Computers (Black) from:

    http://www.amazon.com/Mobile-Edge-P...ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=pc&qid=1268361367&sr=1-2

    The bag itself only weighs about 1 lb and it's very stylish and fits the M11x perfectly. It also has plenty of room for a WD Passport, Samsung external disk drive, a few other accessories I like to have with me.

    There is also room for the charger, but I don't take that with me on a daily basis because the battery lasts so long.

    My only issue with this case is the lack of 'hand' handle. It only has the shoulder strap, but it is a very well padded shoulder strap.
