    I have been looking around and also tested a few different things out, but I have a hard time finding anything that fits my Samsung in a good way. It's always too small or too large, no perfect fits.

    But I do realise that the Macbook Pro 15 2011 more or less have the same dimensions as the 700Z5A, so perhaps looking for Macbook stuff is the only way to go?

    I would really like to hear what other people use for their Samsung, mainly sleeves and backpacks are most interesting to me, but bags are ofcourse interesting aswell, if not for me, then perhaps for others.

    I got the caselogic sleeve for the mbp15 and it fits perfectly.

    btw, i was wondering, since the dimension of this laptop is like 14.6 x 9.4 x 1; would this be a good fit - Amazon.com: Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N550: Electronics. This one is about 17 x 9.9

    I am considering this since otherwise I need a lapdesk and the bigger version (n700) is just tooo big and heavy (6 pounds !)

    do you have any other suggestions ?

    I have a Samsung Backpack and a Samsung notebook bag from the Samsung promotion when I first purchased the Series 7.

    Haven't been used anyway. The Series 7s I've had usually dies within two days - hence the DOAs.

    It will be hard to find sleeves at the exact size since 15.0 chassis size is a rarity. You may want to consider cases or sleeves for the MBP15 since the Series 7 is only slightly smaller.

    Is it impossible for you to write any post without complaining on the machine?

    Just got the backpack (Brenthaven Slimpack) and it's awesome. It's even better than I imagined it to be, so I can really recommend this one if someone wants a slim backpack to carry their 700Z5A around!

    Check out the pictures and review above for more details, and even if it was a positive review I'd like to praise it some more. Really impressed by it and its build quality!

    I bought a common 15 inch neoprene laptop sleeve, slide my 700z5a in it, in my eastpack and off I go! Works great for me!.. and I have plenty of space left for books etc :).
    Just thought I would throw it in here as an option :p.
