I use the older version of this "Case Logic" 15" laptop and tablet bag: Case Logic laptop tablet case | Case Logic | United States <https://www.caselogic.com/en-us/products-_-caselogic_85854223089> This will easily hold a M-100 or T102. It has both a carry handle and a shoulder strap and a "belt" on the back that you can slide the handle of your "roll around" airplane luggage into for transport at the airport.
Mine is just a bit thicker, at 4.5" deep and has two zipper compartments. In the back compartment I have my CCR-81 tape recorder, Seiko DP-414 thermal printer, external 4 D-cell power supply, Atari 2600 joystick adapter and my speech synthesizer. In the front compartment I keep my T102 in its slip case, the programmer manual in the "tablet pocket" and a "spiral bound" notebook. The front surface zipper compartment has pens, cables, a blank cassette, quick reference cards, A/C power supply, etc.. Unfortunately case logic does not sew in a tag with the model number of their bags, it only appears on the "hang tag" on the outside when you get it at the store. So I don't know the model of my bag, but it's dimensions are 17"w x 12"h x 4.5"d.
