I think the build quality of the u80v targus bag is quite good, definitely not cheap if examine carefully the stitches and padding used, it's a tough bag no doubt at all. BUT, the design of the bag i personally think not the right one for the u80v due to following reasons:

- the u80v is sexy, the bag just look too 'corporate-looking' i.e. dull

- the width of the notebook compartment is too tight to nicely slide in the u80v considering the glossy surface that's prone to scratches.

Hence, i recommend another bag to carry this sexy babe  I got the Black one for RM150 at viewnet @ lowyat

The Belkin Ceylon Messenger bag that features a notebook compartment with plush i.e. velvet-like material that's just perfect to protect the lappy from scratches.

Here's the review for the bag:

Hope this little piece of bag info here can help owners of u80v a little bit more.
