M17x Bags, Backpacks, Cases & Sleeves - Discuss Here

Has anyone tried the Swiss Gear Calderas bag? It says it fits a 17" laptop but we all know the M17x is not your average 17" laptop.

Wow that's really awesome, + rep
That made my decision easier, will definitely get the everki.

as you can see in the picture, there is a great amount of depth between the laptop and the top of the bag, so you wont hit the corners of the laptop when you close the bag..

How much room is in the rest of the bag? Is there enough for headphones like the B&W P5's or Grado's SR60i and a text book or two?

Thanks Inap

Edit: I dont have such headphones so I don't think I can try to load the bag and show it to you..but hopefully this can shed a light if you havent seen it..

bottom: not so thick padding, about 1cm. if you are looking for a great base protection, then this bag wont satisfy you..For me, however, it's good enough..
sides: as you can see in the pictures, no padding on the side

Man, so what's this bag even good for? And it's pricey too! Thx for your input though, I will continuing shopping

Just watched a video of the Slappa Velocity Matrix, and got immediately interested. Anyone know how adequate/thick/hard is the padding for the base/bottom of the backpack?

I have the orion but Im getting a slappa soon. ANyone know a sleeve that fits the r3 well? like a neoprene zip up or something? Im tired of sliding on the soft cover which isnt really have any depth to keep dirt from scratching.

Do you know about the slappa's base/bottom padding? Please advise if you have the info

EDIT: Starting to hate alot of backpack reviews, cuz they only go so far as showing this kind of image: http://www.notebookreview.com/assets/33647.jpg. Seriously, if the backpack can peel even further, do it and show us the rest of the compartment, and its depth! Also, why doesn't anyone take a camera and point towards the inside of the backpack, with like a flashlight or something to show the depth and the base??

Also, if anyone has a photo they can share of the depth (any backpack), please do so

Awesome bags... don't fit an M17x and will not fit an M17x. I emailed the company and asked directly about a boot for the R3 and provided them the specs. I was told that none of their boots fit and they do not plan on making any that do.

Sucks.

Thanks for the update!

I saw the review by an owner and think this bag is way too big for me. Also having a chance to be forced to check a bag in is probably too high risk for me as well.
