    Hey all!

    I'm looking to replace the backpack that came with my Asus G1s since its kinda small and its ripping since I've stuffed it with way too much stuff sadly. Basically, all I need to be able to carry is a few pencils, calculator, 6 standard notebooks, and my laptop.... I just want to make sure there's a bag like that. So far I'm looking at these two bags:

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834997650
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834999856

    I know MobileEdge has great stuff, and their quality is top notch...but I'm wondering if you guys could confirm some bags that would fit all that stuff I need to carry?

    Thanks,
    Eric Huang

    I've had it for like 4 months now... Using it everyday, its full of notebooks and stuff... I dunno it just started to rip. There's now a huge gash in the side.

    Which model of the Slappa do you think would work better? They seem really similar and no different to me?

    http://www.buy.com/prod/slappa-spider-notebook-backpack/q/loc/101/205000286.html
    The buy.com one looks kinda fishy since no there's no picture...Amazon has one for just $10 more and I trust them a bit more... http://www.amazon.com/Slappa-Veloci...8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1192831914&sr=8-3

    the spyder and matrix are exactly the same thing. just cosmetically different outside. i ordered from buy.com and have a tracking number already. the model number of the buy.com one is the exact same as the one on slappa's web site for the spyder so its the same one. use google checkout and save 10$ extra from buy.com

    buy.com use different shipping methods depending on where you live and how close to their suppliers/warehouses. Usually i get the item on time or ahead of time even!
