    Anyone buy a decent laptop backpack for their x205?

    If so, how does it fit.

    I just bought a package deal off Buy.com, that includes a 17" backpack, cooling pad, and mouse for 69.99.

    http://www.buy.com/prod/targus-up-to-17-screen-shield-backpack-w-notebook-chill-mat-and/q/loc/16234/205476685.html

    I haven't recieved it yet but I found a site that claims that the internal laptop compartment should be able to fit the x205. It also seems from a quick search of internet companies that this bag averages about $60 - $70 alone.

    If anyones interested I'll give a quick review of the backpack when I get it, I just hope its big enough.

    I got the Targus Flare Backpack (TSB089US) from CircuitCity for $49.99. This bag is big. The laptop almost feels small when I put it in there. :)

    Do you have a x205 that you put in the backpack?

    I carry around a giant DSLR camera so I picked up a Crumpler "Customary Barge" backpack. Has a slot for my camera equipment and the X205 just manages to fit into the laptop compartment. Warning though, it's a huge backpack and costs around $180.

    I ended up cancelling my buy.com order for the 17" targus shield backpack and bought the Targus Flare Backpack from Circuit City ($49).

    It fits the X205 nicely and has lots of room. I recommend it for a x205 or any other large 17" laptop similar to the x205 size.

    The construction seems durable but we'll see as I use it over time.
