    Hey All
    I finally got my CTO dv2500 and I have been searching high and low for a good bag for it. I read through the accessories forum but couldn't find anything really dealing with the dv2500 series. It seems that all of the items in BB, Circuit City, Staples, Target et al are all made for 15.4" screens. In fact, I have yet to see a good fitting case in a brick and mortar store. Ideally, I'm looking for a slim fitting brief/messenger preferably basic and black w/ a shoulder strap.

    I was wondering if some of you other owners could share how you carry yours around.


    Thanks in advance for any input. :D

    Personally I am currently considering this. I like how compact it is, with some extra space for CDs and powercord/mouse. Note that you have to pay extra for the backpack strap though, and there's no shoulder strap available but you could probably use any shoulder strap you can get a hold of.

    That doesn't look too bad (though the backpack straps do look ridiculous). Figures the 14" is the only option that is back-ordered.

    This one looks pretty good. The site has a lot of different bags, I'm sure you'll find something worth buying. I'm currently shopping around for a dv2000 bag that has room for the extended battery.

    Also, Muse rules.

    The 14" is out of stock or back ordered, but you can order it from ebags.com and the backpack strap from that website. I'm going to order one soon before school resumes.
