    Anyone carry their W3J in a backpack? What do you use? The Wenger Sahara caught my eye, but I'm a little concerned as several reviews have reported quality issues. A topic on the accessories forum netted 0 replies.

    Is the REI computer sleve that's often talked about on these forums this one?

    Yeah that's the sleeve but in the carbon color (small size). For backpacks I'm not too sure what to go with but if you get the sleeve you can use any kind of backpack you want because the sleeve should provide enough protection as long as you aren't tossing your bag around. Which you shouldn't be doing with any bag with a laptop in it.

    Depending on your style you get what bag will fit the sleeve (any standard daypack/school bag) or you can go with a nice hydration bag. It all depends on your style and what you want the bag for.

    This is my bag

    I currently have a waterfield sleeve. I just use that with my backpack. However, I was really looking closely at the waterfield bags ( www.sfbags.com). My only issue with those is the astronomical price. If the quality of their bags match or exceed the quality of their sleeves though, it could be worth it. Still thinking about it...
