I got this one at a local MicroCenter. Fits a WP-2, 100, or 102 more or
less perfect. Even a 200 though that does limit the front pocket to not
very bulky stuff. No CCR-82 with a 200. Or 2 x WP-2 back to back.
Cheap looking/feeling but solid functional construction. Pockets on
front and back, luggage handle loop, foam inside on all sides. Front
pocket has foam on both in and out sides. No extra divider inside like
the one you linked.
It fits basically snug around the 100 length and thickness (the ~12 & ~2
inch dimensions), and has about 1 inch extra in the ~8 inch dimension.
If you made it into a contained solid bundle you could store a modern
small switch mode power supply and maybe a couple other cables in that
extra space in the main cavity.
You'd want the bundle to actually be large enough to fill the volume so
that it didn't just always fall down the side to make a lump in the
front or back. So not just a power supply but maybe also a cassette
cable and maybe an extension cord. I don't bother, I just put the
computer in the main cavity by itself.
The one you linked is 15 inches long, this is more like 13, on the
outside with a 200 inside.
You can't tell really anything from the couple pics on the site but if
you want I'll take some showing everything.

I've got several slabtop systems: my daily driver 102, a spare I came
into recently (which, honestly, is probably in better shape than what I
typically use), an M100 that's in the holding area for recap, and my
WP-2. Both 102s have sleeves since my spouse was able to repair the full
rip along a side seam, something I'd have no hope of doing myself. The
M100 does not. All the same, I wanted something that could serve as both
a slabtop travel bag and a storage case to reduce and damage of handling
in my storage area.
I spent close to two days trying to find something thick enough to
accommodate a proper slabtop. Most bags of modern make are too thin,
designed around modern laptops. Something with a compartment for a
device 1.75-2.25" thick was turning into more of a problem than I
thought it would and the older laptop bags I own have older laptops in
them. Even said spouse put herself to the hunt with her superior
shopping skills.
Eventually I finally turned something up: a no-name laptop bag on
Amazon. It even has a removable shoulder strap and another strap for
attaching to a luggage handle. I'm usually very hesitant to make product
recommendations but this is something I think people around here could
get some use out of: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DNN682NH <https://

It was tough to find something that met my requirements, and possibly
the requirements of others. My only complaint is that the inner
compartment is divided. There's a (very nice) padded divider down the
middle of the bag's interior. It's something I don't need but it turns
out to have enough slack to accommodate the system without much trouble.
The velcro strap inside secures the machine in place and there doesn't
seem to be undue pressure on the keyboard.
I hope this is helpful rather than irksome for others. Protecting these
systems for the long run while still making them easily available for
use is important to us all.
