evh347, glad I could help. I'm a little jealous about your new laptop :) I have been eyeballing a Lenovo x61s for some time now. I'll be placing my order next month (hopefully).... I hear they are super super slow to ship unfortunately.
diseda, the best way to "sticky" this thread is to bookmark it in your web browser. Only the moderators of APC can sticky it (meaning keep it at the top of all of the other threads). They have yet to find this thread worthy...
I am still hoping that other people will post their experiences with other products. Only a handful have written reviews, I'd like to see a lot more. Many products that have not been mentioned yet....

Has anyone used one of the fabric type flight cases/kits? If so, how well do they hold up compared to the vinyl/leather ones? Fit in an ERJ okay? There's something about the boxy vinyl/leather cases I don't like, but I'm not sure what it is. People were bashing backpacks in another thread, is the fabric case considered to be too much like a backpack or student flight bag? I haven't noticed anyone admit to using one here.

I use the zipper tie. Problem is, it loosens easily and the "knot" ends up 3-4 inches below your collar and you may not even notice for a while.

im in training and felt the need to resurrect this thread since I found the prices a little extreme for something I dont even want.
If im going to spend that kind of money I at least want to pick out the various items separately on my own

Let's not forget about this one as a suitable alternate for a flight kit.
$29.99 from Harbor Freight, and it's extremely durable. XJT requires our flight cases to be black, so a can of spray paint and a roll of masking tap does the trick wonderfully.
I'm still using it currently. My only complaint is that its slightly shorter than other flight cases out there.
