    I'm looking for a bag with very good padding, and has some sort of compartment to hold the plug-in adapter. I need help looking for a bag that actually fits the shape of the m1530. Everywhere I go, they keep telling me to bring the laptop so they can try it out. I don't want to be bringing my investment around, so I'm hoping someone can recommend me a very nice bag to protect it. I would like it to be around $100 or less. I would like it to be a dark color to fit with my black XPS scheme. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. :)

    Anything by Crumpler is pretty good but if you want something cheaper you could try the Pakuma Choroka K2 but I'm not sure if you an get these outside the UK.

    Timbuk2 has some nice bags, but they are expensive. I bought one for my Inspiron 1520 for $150 (I had a $100 gift card from Christmas).

    Ogio Hip Hop Messenger - there's a great reseller on Ebay (US) called Oozak from whom I imported a couple of items to the UK.

    They've a nice range of messenger type bags.

    will the waterfield fit the shape of the m1530? Meaning will it fit snugly and securely?

    Has anyone tried the PacSafe MeshSafe M200 Anti-Theft Messenger Bag? They make a smaller model, plus a larger Courier model. I'm going to be traveling overseas, and the security features look pretty good. If anyone has seen it close up, I'd like your opinion!
