700m cases/bags?

I just purchased a 700m and now I need a case or bag for it. Can anyone tell me where I can get a good bag?

I'd like one that's lightweight, ballistic nylon would be nice but not necessary. I'd like some padding for the laptop and pouches/pockets for extra battery, mouse, documents, etc.

The 700m has the 8-cell battery that sticks out the back by a little bit so the laptop compartment should accommodate the battery.

If anyone can recommend a case/bag I'd appreciate it.

I just received the 12 inch zeroshock shinza sleeve today...
it's a perfect fit for my i700m and feels pretty solid.

Do you have the extended battery or the regular batter?

I have a Zero Shock sleeve, and I just bought an Ogio Jackpack laptop messenger bag. The zeroshock sleeve fits really snug with the 8 cell battery installed, but it does fit.

Here are pics of the Ogio I just bought.

I also bought Tom Bihn Brain Cell size 5. Excellent fit for my 700m with 8 cell battery. Extremely light, i mean the bag. Check out a few pictures. Sorry for the quality. Just wanna give you a general idea.

Hey, thanks for the pics. I was hoping that the 700m would fit nicely into the Brain Cell (I had my fingers crossed). How do you find the fit? The reason I ask is because the dimensions of the Brain Cell are 7mm shorter than the laptio itself. Do you find any problem with that?

No problems at all. As I said it fits perfecto. By the way, you can put it only in the way shown on the pics. Either the battery down, or the battery up. I'm not sure what way is safer. Anyway, I don't see any other drawbacks. And the adapter can be easily put in the side pocket. So don't worry. It's a good deal.

I was wondering the same thing about battery up or down. I haven't actually been able to put laptop in bag (because I'm waiting for both to be delivered), but I would think that it should go in battery up.

The reason for my thinking is that I don't think you want the entire weight of the laptop sitting on the battery. But then again, you have the thing and you'd be able to tell how snug the battery is and how much force would be required to dislodge the battery in the event of an accidental drop.

I have a 700m and I have the Belkin Stone Street Case. I absolutely love it. There's plently of room for all my other accessories, power adapters, and notebook cooler.

You can get a really good deal on this notebook carrying case here: Belkin Stone Street Laptop Case $19.99 priced at $19.99 you can't go wrong.
