Sleeves, Backpacks and Cases that would fit the Alienware M18x

[Räy]

I will be toting my m18x all around campus so I was wondering on what I should do about carrying it. I have had some minor back problems from a few years ago, I was a sports camp counselor for 3 years when I was 13-16 doing way too heavy lifting at that age. Currently I can handle up to 25 lbs.(Calculus Book+Calculus Review Book+Lunch) in my current backpack that has managed to take my abuse for 4 years. I'm kinda tight on money so I was wondering on what to get.

I know a lot of people trust Slappa for backpacks but i was wondering about how the Duffle laptop bag actually fit. I think that the orion is obviously going to be a big hit but at $120 I think it's a bit much.

I have mine in my Slappa Hardbody Pro case and I don't find it to be a tight fit.



Edit:
(And the power supply does fit fine)

I owe you all some pictures of the M18x in the various members of my backpack collection. Will get those up tonight for you all

Don't have the M18x, but did get the bag and took interior measurements.

The Advance bag ~$45 will fit the M18x with a bit of room to spare in fact. Nice bag without being overdone.

It seems several people have mentioned the Orion 17x backpack works for the m18x, it's a tighter fit however. Can the be confirmed?

I'll confirm it.

Taken with my phone just now so they are kinda crummy. First one is just the M18x in the bag and the second is with the PSU, powercord and manual. Plus a wireless mouse.

So that is the M17x Orion bag? I have the original Orion backpack (non-TSA) as well as the M18x Orion Backpack, I will compare those 2 as well as a Mobile Edge Premium Backpack I have (the Orion bags are also made by Mobile Edge)
