What are you using to carry your M11x around with? Bag questions here

I would also be interested in this...

 

Maybe we can organise a group-purchase of the M11X Sleeve ?
I had a couple of shipping quotes of around $50 - it could be affordable if a few of us got together and placed one larger order...

 

Sounds like a plan, I'm in.

 

I'm also interested..

 

I could get the ball rolling on this UK shippment thing, but you would all have to wait till the end of May for shipments to be sent out (I get a discount on fedex at that time)

 

I'm not in a hurry, if you want to start a list go for it.

 

Or else I could get a bunch of them and ship them to one of you guys in the UK for you to distribute to the remaining people.... but that might get kinda confusing with shipping costs and what-not.

PM me if you guys want to get started on this.

email me your user name, real name, and your email address so I can keep a list.

 

I use the Mirror's Edge preorder bag.

 

I suspect you can only make it affordable through FedEx by shipping the whole bundle to one person to redistribute from here - their international prices are very steep.
I had a quick look on the USPS site USPS - The United States Postal Service (U.S. Postal Service) and it looks like you could probably ship them individually via First Class Airmail for around $15.

 

Anyone willing to trade their alienware m11x sleeve for the portfolio?

 

I just got my M11X sleeve a couple of weeks ago. I love it!

 

I love my sleeve too!

 

Is anyone still looking for an $8 Case Logic eSling? A local Best Buy that insisted that their computers were wrong finally found a couple (El Cajon, CA; San Diego area). I bought one in addition to the one I got at another local Best Buy (Mira Mesa, CA; confirmed OOS after a recent full-store inventory reduced the count from 4 to 1; PM'd after paying twice as much).

I'm disappointed that it doesn't have any padding on the shoulder strap (digs into my neck) but it really is the perfect size.

 

Oh! And my Timbuk2 hidden backpack barely fits it with enough room left for a small padded sleeve. Now I need a good sleeve for when I carry it on the motorcycle that way.

 

I bought Case Logic lightweight backpack. The m11x doesn't fit perfectly in the laptop separation (it's built for 15" laptops) but it works fine for me. The padding is very good and the size is exactly how I wanted:

just got this for $17 shipped from amazon sumo 12" sleeve. i was also going to get the pelican 1080 hardcase but now i see i dont need it. this sleeve offers very good protection and for the money it cant be beat!

 

Ya I got that Sumo sleeve as well. It's super thick with padding.

As for as the Case Logic Esling, I also agree it sucks that it has no padded shoulder strap. For $8, who could complain though. I ended up buying velcro padded strap online from Amazon anyways.

 

Regarding the velcro padded straps on Amazon:
Which one did you buy? Would you recommend it or would you suggest that I try a different one?

If no one wants my extra one I'm might be interested in modding on an optional flap fastener of some kind and a handle (I'd rather use a handle once I dismount). I have to wear it backwards on the motorcycle and even then the flap comes up and flaps around sometimes.

 

Air Cell Lined Velcro Shoulder Strap Pad Addon

It'a great. The only problem is that the Case Logic Esling shoulder strap is 1.5" wide while that shoulder pad is made for a 2" wide strap. If you velcro it as tight as possible it doesn't slide around really. Either way that thing is comfy, might be worth it to stitch it into the strap.

As far as the flap, go to a home building supply store like Lowes and get the sticky sided velcro straps and attach that. That will be the end of that crappy lose flap.

 

i bought the Targus synergy backpack when buying my m11x.. just add another RM30. so far it do the work for me.. ^_^

 

where did u get the e sling for 8 bucks?

 

If ya read this thread, you would see it was a Best Buy clearance item.

 

And, as we can see, I'm offering one to anyone who is having trouble finding one.

Good idea. Thanks!

 

I plan on using a Resident Evil 5 messenger bag ( http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=73742)), but was looking for something to keep the laptop a little more padded in the case--maybe a neoprene sleeve or something. Anyone have a suggestion? I was originally thinking the Alienware brand sleeve, but for $30 I'll browse around first.

I'm looking for something to mostly protect the edges/corners, as this seems to be the most overlooked area when it comes to bags/cases.

 

Hi, I found this UK site Alienware M11x Laptop Sleeve
£24.95 delivered. Hope it helps those that couldn't find a UK seller
Ordered mine


Kenny

 

Woohoo, thanks for this !

ejohnson, I guess we can call-off the UK sleeve project...

 

Oh cool, well that solves that! I guess its a good thing cause I only had 2 people request them..

 

Mine arrived this morning

 

Can anyone tell me if an m11x will fit snugly in this bag?
Timbuk2 Bags - Freestyle Netbook Messenger - Ballistic Fabric

Thanks

 

I just watched the videos on the site and now want to not buy that bag based on the girl in the first video...

 

I'm using a strange, old man who carries my laptop around for me in an oaken box, fashioned by indians in the late 19th century. I have him bound to me in indentured servitude.

...Just kidding. I need to buy a case. All I have is the little pseudo-velvet bag Dell gave me.

 

Wow, they just added that video and I agree with you haha.

 

I originally purchased the Orion Messenger Bag and though its awesome, its just too big for everyday use. Last week I received the Orion Portfolio Bag and its absolutely awesome! Its small, very well made and just look amazing. I can't recommend it enough.

 

This is probably what I'm gonna get for my m11x Dakine Messenger - Small at Zappos.com. The dimensions say it should fit very snugly in the laptop compartment and should have enough room for books and such.

 

ordered a lenovo T220 case for m11x.
link $12 after 10% bing cash back, after coupon code USPCMY32024

please dont view this as some kind inside trade secret, Lenovo is not accquiring DELL's Alienware division.

 

Though I have plenty of bags/backpacks, for $12.98 shipped I will try that Lenovo T220 case. Thanks.

 

I've ordered the M11x sleeve should be great. I haven't received my M11x yet but when it arrives I plan to continue using my Oakley S.I. computer bag. It is awesome, I'll just toss the M11x in the sleeve and then in my Oakley bag. The bag isn't too heavy or difficult to carry and allows me to carry everything I need.

Very nice bag. I like it. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry for reposting, but yeah that seems like a nice bag, and we have nice pictures of it on page 11:

I got this case Laptop Shockproof Sleeve, Fits up to 12.4" Notebook Sleeve - Meritline.com. I paid about $9 total shipping everything. Now it's dropped to $6.45 shipped. It's actually a perfect fit for M11x. Well built. Takes a while for shipping. It's shipped from china.

 

I just picked up a nice Targus case at WalMart. Very similar to this link, only mine's all black. (It had the price tag ripped off it and I couldn't find the shelf sticker, so the nice lady sold it to me for only $20!!)

Swiss Gear backpack purchased at local St. Vincent's thrift store in like new condition for $4.95 really nice bag!

 

No, it doesn't fit. It'll fit in the regular compartment, (a bit taller than the bag) but not in the laptop compartment. It's too small. I bought it, but returned it.

 

I'm gonna get this since it looks like the dimensions match the m11x perfectly. Will see when I get it.

 

Hello,

I want to bye the Alienware Orion Portfolio or the Alienware Orion Neoprene Sleeve for my M11x but these bags seems to be just for American people. How can I do to bye it if I live in France (for example) ? Thanks.

In the UK you can pick up the Alienware bags at Netbook Accessories, Netbook Cases, Netbook Bags & Laptop Accessories - GearZap.com

 

at the moment the little case that came with the m11x and a targus messenger bag that i got for my dell, its not ideal but it does the job
