    I use the sleeve and bag that I got from MilestonePC when I got it. It's for 15.4" , so a bit too big. Would be interested in knowing what would be best for 14"s ...

    I picked up "The Luncheon" Bag from Crumpler.
    Made for 15" Macs but fits my A8Jm pretty snug. Not like the oversized POS case MilestonePC gave out.

    Pros:
    Really comfortable and light
    Best **** looking laptop bag I've ever seen.

    Cons:
    Not alot of space. After the Computer and power brick are in there is just enough room for a clipboard and a pen.

    Bags with integrated sleeves are the best. The timbuk2 messenger laptop is a very very nice bag and the medium version fits the asus A8JM and W3J as if it was made for them.

    I got a Tom Bihn Monolith size 4. It's a perfect fit. Very snug.
