M1530 9-cell bag?

[Kitkat973]

Has anyone had problems fitting the M1530 with the 9-cell battery into a standard 15.4" laptop bag? If so, what bags worked and are there any I should steer clear of? Any recommendations for a laptop backpack that is A. Not flimsy B. Not over $100 and C. Not a batman ripoff? I'm a girl. I want something that doesn't look like a cross between terminator and a bad western. I need something with enough room to carry 2-3 books for college, a laptop, and a large binder.

Hi,
I am a girl also, and I have the MobileEdge Maddie Powers Messenger Bag for my 1530. And, it is fabulous, it holds my 9cell batt very well ~ and has lots of room.

Attached is the link that I posted in the Accessories section here a little ways back along with pics & info:

My Maddie Power's Cutebug Laptop Messenger Bag is cute, and I wanted to share the pic's and stuff!!

I hope this helps you, and you will find that this is a very "feminine" and "hip" bag. Though, it is not a "backpack".

That's a great bag, and if I were going for a messenger-style bag it'd be perfect, but I really need a full-on backpack... with the m1530 and my books, I'll have at least 15 pounds to carry, probably more, and I can't do that comfortably without having the weight over my shoulders. I mean, I could do it, but I want to avoid carrying lots of weight over one shoulder.

Yeah that's what I thought

What about something like this:

I like the way that one looks. It doesn't scream "laptop inside". I wish they had more details on that specific bag though, but the style is great.

Here's another one I found:

It's a Kensington Contour Balance Notebook Backpack

Here is the link direct to Kensington's site:

Too masculine for me. My real ideal would be something roomy and well-padded in pink, or patterned... but the only really femme bags I'm finding seem to be messenger bags.

Wait!!!!

How about this:

That's nice, really soft colors, nice shape... but I hate the black straps. (I'm so picky, lol!) What do you think about http://www.cruisecheapluggageoutlet....1-BUR1539.html ? It's a darker color, but the pattern is nicely feminine, and it looks more durable than some of the other bags without obviously looking like "Hi, I'm here to carry a laptop, want to steal me?"

LOL...I would snap this baby up right away...It's absolutely fantabu!!!
And, it comes in 2 colors! I say go for it!

If I wanted a backback, I would buy this one ~ without any hesitation!

That actually is similiar to a couple of my handbags = companion bag LOL!! What's a girl to do!!!

And, don't you worry about being picky!!! LOL...When I was choosing my messenger bag I was really fussy about that!!!

Let me know which one you chose (I hope this one)
