    Can anyone please show me a good review or post pics and share thoughts about the odysey bags and what not...the bags look pretty durable...but there are no good reviews online....

    thanx,

    its a pretty cool bag plenty of pockets, but I wish they had designated slots for the SB drives. I can fit hmm maybe 2 into a the provided slots and its quite to snug.

    I ended up getting the Alienware Orion Messenger bag and imo its a nice setup, I do recommend using the cover that you get with the M17 when putting it into the bag as the zippers may damage the finish on it over time.

    Below are couple of nice reviews on both with plenty of photos.

    May be off topic but, if you're looking for a bag for your m15x, I opted for the G-Pak from the Mobile Edge. More spacious than it looks and a nice variety of color schemes, IMO. I can comfortably fit the m15x & brick with books or clothes and what not.

    My mom is actually buying me the orion messenger bag for Christmas (because my old laptop bag is kinda gross... I kept a lot of art supplies in it lol)... and that review that Alienized showed was a good one. I find it hard to find good bags where the straps don't eventually start to break and whatnot or fit a larger laptop comfortably. Plus, I want a bag that matches my laptop. I carried a macbookpro in a dell bag for a long time haha.

    If you want, when I get it, I can also take pics and whatnot.

    Heya hifiman, I bought the Odyssey bag along with my m15x. The m15x fits snugly in the bag. It's got room for smart bay accessories, the brick and charger, and the cooler too.

    I'll try and post pics for you later :)

    personally i wont get an AW bag since it is like taping a steal me sign to your back. Look at that chrome alien head on the bag :rolleyes:. its also kind of nerdy but then again thats my opinion.

    i personally use a north face surge.

    Cany say ive tried the orion or the others but ive got the AW briefcase, and that can take quite a beating + it has tons of space left in it for power adapter etc etc...

    But in everyday use i use the Swissgear Sierra (review on nbr somewhere)
    Tis a very good case and has good protection. I would definately recommend it. (Not to mention the 100 year guarantee!)
