    I desperate need a carrying case for my new arrived m17x. My current Brenthaven is one inch short on width.

    I flight 20 times at year and often have to walk a short distance of 1~2 miles. Can anyone recommend me a rolling laptop case for this purpose? If you have an excellent messenger bag in mind, or even a sleeve please let me know as well.

    Below are the three cases I am considering at the moment

    1. Targus TCG717 rolling case
    2. Targus TXL717 XL rolling case
    3. Alienware messenger bag

    I am not a fan of Targus since I always find their product to be lack of detail attention. Broken handle, zipper, loose latop compartment and etc. But m17x is enormously huge!!! Is there even a manufacture make a rolling case can accommodate its size?

    i have a targus XL. it has PLENTY of room for the m17x as well as all my school books and notebooks and i still have 2 pockets left over for other stuff.

    its not a roller, its a backpack but its got a waist strap that takes 90% of the weight off your shoulders.

    The HP rolling case looks nice.

    But I fancy the Alienware messenger bag.

    That Samsonite case does look mighty hardcore but even a business man couldn't pull it off. It just doesn't fit the BMW you know.

    I picked this one up recently. Holds my M17x pretty snug, has wheels, and still has room for other stuff. The dimensions of it means it will fit under airplane seats or overhead bins.

    And to top it off, it looks stylish....
