I sometimes carry my Tibook (15 inch) in my Italian Condotti vertical 
briefcase. I first bought it for my 2300 Duo, then discovered 
fortunately that my Tibook also fit it. I've not tried one, but I 
suspect that a 17 inch Albook would also fit into it. It's nice 
burgundy leather with 18 k. gold hardware and was a trifle pricey ($260 
as I recall), but is strong and beautiful.
I bought it at a mall luggage store, so if you ask for it by name at 
such a store, you may find one.
