    I bought a Built NY Cargo for mine and it fits perfectly in the large size (17").

    Copying my response from another post:

    I chose a 15" Belkin Messenger Bag to hold my 1640.

    If you're looking for a very portable bag that won't break the bank, it's very slim and relatively cheap.

    The interior compartment has a soft half that fits very snug around the laptop -- even moreso with a 9-cell battery. When I first got the bag, I was scared that it would not fit, but it was nicely worn in after a couple weeks of use. The other half of the interior won't fit much, but has a few compartments for discs, business cards, and other small items.

    The main exterior compartment is large enough to store a power brick, additional battery, some cables, a bluetooth mouse, and even has a compartment for an iPod with an access hole for earbuds. There are two additional compartments that are very thin, where you may be able to store paper, but mine is pretty packed if I'm carrying everything.

    If interested, you should be able to get the bag from Amazon or Newegg for around $30.

    I would like to bump this. I need help finding a laptop case/messenger bag that can be carried by a strap over the shoulder.

    Anything that can fit a 15.6 studio xps 16.
