    I am looking for a professional looking backpack please suggest me some, It should just be perfect for AW15 R3, I don't want 18" bags either and I didn't consider Vindicator because it looks too flashy.

    How about something like this Victorinox backpack?

    Personally, I just got my new AW15 R3. I ordered the Vindicator 2.0 15" version for it, and it's just fine. I wouldn't dare use it on a daily basis as it might attract unwanted attention. For traveling purposes, I think it's perfect. Otherwise, I'd just use an old The North Face backpack I used for my old M18x. If I didn't have that, I'd probably buy the Victorinox bag.

    Do you think this will accommodate AW15 R3?

    How’s the padding and general protection of it? I have a small fear of the edges bumping into hard stuff as my unit doesn’t have a good sleeve (yet).

    The padding isn't very thick. But the bag looks sturdy enough for daily use.

    OT: How about a sleeve? The easiest one I could think of is the AmazonBasics brand, but I am not even sure if the AW15 R3 will fit with the one they sell just from reading its dimensions.

    Hello guys, I come here to find a Backpack! :)
    Someone has tested any of the Victorinox?
    I have brought this : http://s.aliexpress.com/F7VRnii
    And my AW 15 fit in it, but not in the laptop compartment and that's a bit too short..
    So I want to change and buy a real backpack, to carry it everyday in my school :)
