    NOPE! no oakley love.

    I am huge Oakley fan. I tried the biggest baddest oakley bag the "Kitchen Sink" and the G73 would not fit. Even if it had I wasnt a big fan of the way laptop puch was cut, if the G73 had fit the zipper was sure to rub on it each and every time.

    Thanks to everyone else for their feed back. I think I am going to go wit the Slappa M.A.S.K.

    The walmart here has a targus city case that look exactly like the one that keeps being mentioned here. The tag on it reads Notebooks up to 16", not 17". Is this the same bag that fits a g73? Bump. Anyone remember if the tag said 16" ?

    I bought the Everki Beacon for my new G73JW. The bag is nice but the fitting is tight for the G73. Zipper sits right on one of the opening corners of the laptop. You can't get the zipper up if you turn the laptop around in the opening.

    Not sure I am comfortable with this but am going to keep the bag to see if it stretches out with a little wear. The other reason I decided on keeping it, is because of the chest strap. I could not find another bag that would come close to fitting the size of the G73 that had a chest strap.

    The targus website has the device dimensions for their bags, so compare those to the G73 dimensions FTW.

    When I was shopping for Targus bag, all the 17" bags fit the G73 but I don't know about the 16" ones...

    Slappa M.A.S.K. all the way. I got this bag last week and it's AMAZING. You'll never look back.

    Everki Beacon appears to be stretching or I had a fold in the lining that kept me from putting the laptop in all the way. My hesitation to apply pressure to the bag made me skeptical. Now it fits in the laptop compartment either way with room around the corners. It works just fine for the G73 17.3'. It's a great fit and a great bag!

    When I bought my G73 at Best Buy, I knew I'd be wanting a bag for it. They were nice enough to let me take the display model and try out a few. The one pictured is the one I ended up buying.
    It holds the laptop really well, but if you try stuffing all sorts of other stuff like headphones or a mouse in it, you could have an issue.
    So far I really like this bag. Very sturdy and well built.

    the one that comes stock is awesome imo (got mine from powernotebooks, not sure if the bags are different). Fits perfectly and can carry a lot more inside of it. Its been 8 months and its still in good condition.
