    anyone actually order and receive one? of any size? i got gypped out of the 17" as its perpetually out of stock. seems the 15" is too. why would they even have it on the site if they're never going to get any in? i checked all over for them, none exist. 17" anyways.

    Been looking for this as well. The website says 6+ week wait. I jut want to know if it is worth it to even wait that long. What's the holdup?

    I ordered mine with laptop on July 18, it was shipped on the 29th and I received a few days later.. I love it. It's the Black/Cabernet has lots of pockets etc. Never had a laptop so don't know how to use them yet LOL... Now all I need is the 'puter to put in it!!!!!!!!!!!!

    so if one person got one, what happened to all the other bags they made? and why are they not making more very fast? i was under the assumption these bags were specially released for the new inspirons.

    Uggh. I really want this bag. Most bags for 17" laptops are incredibly ugly.

    i agree. which is one of the main reasons i chose this bag. of course, i thought i would actually get it. i've had to start looking at other bags tho. i emailed belkin themselves to ask what the hold up is on the bags, they never responded, of course.

    Got mine and i'm loving it, it makes carrying it around school nice and easy
    the pockets are nice, but the Dell is so think you can't fit much into it :(

    Does it fit the power supply and a mouse? Also, is it required to use the Belkin sleeve with it?

    I wonder if this is worth ordering/waiting for? If NO ONE has this item, then maybe it's sold out for good?

    its not that theyre sold out for good, they just released this item in july!! why would it be eternally out of stock across the whole internet after a month? it doesnt make sense. dell blames it on belkin, and belkin hasnt taken the blame as far as i know. so it upsets me greatly. notice everyone saying they got one has 15". the 15" is available in cabernet, the only color is is available that ive found. i need 17" and that is never going to come out i fear.

    Well I ordered last night and it says the ship date will be 8/27. The website is incredibly misleading because it says 6+week wait!

    It says it ships in 1-2 months! :eek:

    I might just order one from Dell anyway. I like the look of the bag and, as someone else said, most bags for 17" notebooks are ugly - not to mention poorly constructed.

    I know this is an old thread, but I'm curious if the strap is removable on this bag? Also, there is a regular handle, right? I can't see it in any of the pictures.
