    Greetings everyone,

    I am considering the Asus G73JH-A2 from XoticPC. My main concern is the travel options for the laptop, specifically most options available are backpacks. XoticPC has a laptop case from Tripp Lite: Amazon.com: Tripp Lite NB1005BK Top-Load Black Leather/Nylon Corporate Notebook/Laptop Case: Electronics

    Has anyone used this case, or something similar? Since I am taking the laptop to work, I would prefer a professional looking (read non-backpack) solution.

    Thank you in advance.

    Tragus Blacktop Platinum (Currently using it, and its awesome).
    other options:

    Targus City Gear Miami (positive feedback from other users in the forum)
    Targus City Gear LA (should also fit fine, but pricy).

    What's wrong with backpack that is in the same box with A2? I am using it for 3 months. Good backpack.

    I also use the backpack that came with the A2 to carry it around. Its a wee bit small to carry much else beyond the Mouse, Ac adapter and the laptop itself.

    I do like the way that the laptop fits inside of the backpack. It fits very snug leaving little room for it to be damaged during transit. The case itself is very comfortable from a padding standpoint as well making longer treks easier to stomach.

    I use a backpack from Mobile Edge. It's a little snug on the corners up top, but otherwise, it fits beautifully. It has more protection than that backpack that comes with my A1, and it has more space. I sometimes carry a netbook around with me and it slides in no problems. Plus, I tend to carry a lot of accessories, so I needed more pockets and spaces to put items. I tried the included backpack once and never went back to it because it was inferior in so many ways.
