Hey all... just received my Targus backpack from Buy.com. It's the Targus TXL617. I purchased it for my 9300 because my saddle bag isn't big enough to hold anything but the 9300.
This thing is pretty big! It must be to hold the 9300 plus other stuff, though. It is made from 840D Nylon & 420D Nylon Ripstop. The notebook compartment measures 16.5" x 2.2" x 12.9".
It can hold a cd/mp3 player or ipod, and has a headphone "port". Just below the padded cd player pocket is a padded sunglasses pocket with velcro strap. It also has another padded sunglasses pocket on the side with a nice soft fabric on the inside (see below)
The straps are pretty comfortable and there is a bonus removable cell phone holder on the strap.
The notebook compartment is very large and plenty big enough to fit my 9300, as you can see below. It is decently padded, although I think a little more padding couldn't hurt. There is a velcro strap, of course, to hold the notebook in.
Here is a picture of me wearing the bag with the 9300 in it. I'm 6' 0" and 200 pounds and it doesn't seem too big for me... I'm sure that it would dwarf some people, but I needed a bag that can hold all of my accessories and still have room for more.
Also, I was dissappointed to find out that one of the zippers (the small horiz. pocket on the front at the bottom) didn't work very well and is pretty difficult to work. That's ok, there are tons of other compartments and pockets!
BTW, I got it from Buy.com for $56.47 and free shipping!
