    I ordered the HP sport backpack from HPshopping.com. It says it fits up to 17" screens and actually recommends it when you shop for a 8000 series notebook, but when it arrived, I had to literally stretch the top of the backpack over the corners of my notebook one at a time to make it fit. Then when I zipped it up and picked up the bag, you could hear the material sqeaking as it stretched against the edges of my computer. Technically...it fits... but it doesn't fit, it's extreamly tight. I could see where it could actually damage my computer. Anyhow, anyone with an 8000 series found a good notebook case (soft backpack or bag) that fits well in the $40-$50 range?
    Thanks!
