    Well, I like the carrying case included with the w2j. It's quite slim (for a 17"), so you can fit the w2j and some cables. Books won't fit anymore, maybe some notes. If I were you I would get a backpack, cause carrying the laptop and the books will become quite heavy in a shoulderbag if you have to move around a lot. Maybe a sleeve for the laptop and a regular backpack.
    Can't help you with brands though. Don't have any experience.

    its always nice to have a case come with, i mean that way u dont have to go out and buy another one and make sure it fits well, sure its not for everyone, but ppl that dont really need a customized case and such, it would be nice!
