Just wanted to ask around as it seems very hard to find anything other than an ugly oldschool chunky black business laptop bag to put this Helios 500 in and protect it.
I have a couple of things I'm trying to use at the moment but none are perfect:
Just not as tough/sturdy as some of the 'hardcases' out there -
there's a much tougher looking Casematix one for fitting the Helios 500 exactly but it's like 7 times the price...
This is also probably the only option that does allow you to comfortably carry the power supply brick too. You're talking a lot of weight overall at this point too, so the double shoulder straps/back carry style becomes pretty much the option...
I have a mission workshop Rummy messenger (single shoulder strap) bag that *almost* lets me carry the laptop horizontally but is just a few mm too small. I can carry the laptop turned vertically in it but everything feels balanced horribly and the top flap barely closes. Not very nice. The larger model The Shed of the same bag should definitely allow it to be carried this way though (even inside the Arvok sleeve too) and would be maybe the way I'd most like to carry but I can't afford the Shed bag!
What do you find best?
