    Believe these are good enough for even the 17" P170EM.

     BuyDig.com - Toshiba Extreme Plus Backpack for Notebooks up to 16" Black/Blue


    The MSRP for this $90, quite good savings. On google, Target has it for $90. A few other sites have em between $50-60. FYI, these are the Extreme Plus, not just Toshiba Extreme.

    Looks robust to me. I've been using the Targus backpack that came with my G73JH. But it has very little space after you stuff it with notebook and battery etc. I've been looking for something more substantial but didn't want to spend more than $30, I know I'm cheap.

    Well I think I found my deal. It looks solid, looks good, plenty of space, and it has plenty of extras to hold my umbrella and water battle. Anyway, hope they are as good as they look. I bought em first before posting here to make sure the deal is still good and well that I get one :p

    Thanks for this. Been looking for a quality backpack to hold my laptop and books. Sounds like a really good deal.

    Yup, same for me. I've found decent backpacks to be so costly, and the ones from 30-50 range look so cheap to me. And the really good ones look more like fashion statement, something someone who would spend $300 on plastic rubbish because it has Beats symbol on it would buy. I really hope these are as sturdy and substantial as they look in the pics.

    I agree...I just want something that can hold my books and protect my laptop. It got some good reviews online and some people are saying it may be a swissgear rebrand. I'll compare it to the swissgear when I get mine.
