    Hey all!

    I just ordered the M860TU and thought I needed a good bag. Well - this is supposed to be one of the best messenger case/bag on the market for a 15.4".

    SLAPPA.com is out of stock, but if you go to buy.com you can get it for 91.99 + Free shipping. Also - there's a 5% off coupon you can use on it to make it 87.39 Shipping included.

    First, go here http://www.buy.com/prod/slappa-hard...-vinyl-acetate-black/q/loc/111/207902143.html

    Add it to your cart.

    Second, go here and click "redeem" http://www.buy.com/retail/coupon.asp?prid=84773074

    That should have taken 5% off the already great price. No, I don't work for buy.com lol. Saw a great deal and wanted to share it with everyone. It says few left so hurry up. oh yeah, FREE SHIPPING!

    Here is the link to the slappa site for more info on the case http://www.slappa.com/hardbody-laptop-case?sc=2&category=658

    Also - NBR did a fire test review on it - just do a search and you'll see it in action!

    I need a good bag for my 860tu too. What convinced you, that this is the best one? :)
    Do you have any high(er) resolution photos of this bag?

    EDIT: I am deciding between
    this: http://www.slappa.com/hardbody-laptop-case?sc=2&category=649
    this: http://www.slappa.com/metro-laptop-shoulder-bag?sc=2&category=649
    and this: http://www.slappa.com/velocity-matrix-laptop-backpack?sc=2&category=650
    I know they are very different, but still can not choose. the first one is just a normal laptop case with lots of room for accessories. The second one is very useful in town and for short trips. The last one is a backpack... i don't like it very much, but is best for carrying it for longer time. Any suggestions?

    so if the ship sinks (waterproof), burns while sinking (fireproof), and breaks in half while burning and sinking - like titanic (shock proof), than the case lands at the bottom of the ocean in mud (dirt proof) you will go there and get it? :)

    hm.. ballistic nylon finishing so they can shoot on that ship too while burning, sinking and breaking apart ;)

    LOL ^^^ that's the idea.

    But - for us...i'm a soon to be lawyer (writing the bar in a few months) after I write the bar - we are required to keep client's documents protected and this is a great design. It's great for the mobile professional. I mean - when you go through the airport how many times do you think they play baseball with your luggage? :(
