I know a lot of people were looking for this... (including me )
Finally I found the right backpack for my HDX18.

It is Targus backpack made for DELL. There is no DELL logo on it by it is sold via DELL store.

It says 17" laptops but dimensions were close so I decided to try it.

When I tried to fit laptop first time it didn't work...it was sticking out about 1" and I couldn't close it...



but I found out that Targus is using special padding for bottom part....



....which is removable obviously. Once padding is out of the way, everything works fine...



well almost everything.... fitment is tight.... not too tight but I'm not sure if you will be able to use neoprene sleeve and then slide it in. I use original cloth sleeve which work fine and even after removal of special bottom padding, there is thick padding / wall in the bottom to protect your laptop anyway.

This is how it looks closed with laptop inside...



There are few things I like about this backpack. First... it is relatively not ugly comapring to all those spiderman, sci-fi looking geek bags. I don't even mind those blue accents.
Secondly... there is enough of storage and usable functions like extra comfortable handle, phone/mp3 player compartment with headphones opening, headphones cable lock on shoulder belt etc etc.....



...or mouse, cable storage....



...and overall quality is very nice too.

I wish I could have more space to use extra neoprene sleeve , but again, $89 shipped overnight (after discount) is good price for good quality bag.
