targus citygear bag

Are there any bags for i9300 that I can use that is small enough to be carried everyday to work? I ordered the targus's citygear messenger bag and dude.. its so big. I'm going to get robbed walking down the street of san francisco.

I dont have much accessories to bring... just cords, some cd's and paperworks.

ebags.com is your best bet for slim.

Personally, I got this one:

http://www.ebags.com/ebags/techweave...?modelid=18678

It is large enough to fit any wide 17" screen, and has enough room in the pockets to carry everything I need to carry with me every day, i.e. AC adapter, blank CD's, PCMCIA cards, wireless mouse. Best of all, though slim, it still protects rather well, and it doesn't scream "BIG EXPENSIVE LAPTOP INSIDE".

My $.02.

Question: I always see posts like this saying one bag or another doesn't scream laptop inside. What do you think people think you are carrying around with you when you have a messenger bag over your shoulder anyways if not a laptop? You think they think its a jumbo manpurse or something?

I think anyone who sees a bag like that will know laptop when they see it regardless of whether it has Dell stamped on the side or not. Perhaps they won't know what brand it is but they will likely think its a laptop.

get a kenneth cole reaction laptop bag. juuust fits the xps2. wife got it at discount store. tjmax or marshals. original price is too high, around $150 i think. i got it for $60.
model 522435. dimensions. 16.5x12x5. search around.

i had a targus too. returned it. when they say 17 inch they prob. mean the regular 4 :3 screens. they should make some to fit widescreen lappies perfectly.

LMAO!

I had the techweave from ebags and it was ok. You have to take the bottom cushion out to make it fit. It doesn't hold enough for me....but I needed something for when the 9300 arrived.
Tired of looking/trying to find something so went to Best Buy this past weekend and got the Targus XL backpack (not sure of correct name) and it's got all kinds of room. Now...I just gotta find a cool patch to cover up this big ass Targus logo...(that the main reason i've stayed away from the Targus bags...too much Targus...lol)
