I recently purchased a 13" MBP and have been on the hunt for a good bag without success. I have bought the STM small Alley and love a lot of things about it, but really don't like the fact that rain could come through the top since it does not really close that well. I also bought a Booq Boa Slimcase and after carrying it for three days am sending it back, the rope trim is fraying and to be quite honest it is not that comfortable to carry, or easy to get into, I loved how organized it was and how compact which is really what I was looking for, but am just not happy with it. So now I'm back on the hunt and using the STM for the time being. I have been looking at the Manhattan Portage bags, but am unsure which of theirs is best for the 13" MBP. Also looked at the Speck PortPack. Any suggestions? Really just looking to carry the MBP, Power Supply, Sm Ext Drive, a few pens and papers and a couple of magazines. I've been down the Timbuk2 road before and did not like how when their bags are not full they sag in the middle and also am not sure which size is the smallest I could get by with in their bags.

Speck SeeThru Satin
Just got my Speck SeeThru Satin cover in black for my 13-inch MacBook Pro! I love it! It's basically a hard shell case on the inside where it attaches to your notebook, but it has a soft feel on the outside... Got it at the Apple Store.. Soooo worth the 50$..
I have seen the Domke line of bags (great camera bags) and I am looking for a small bag to carry my MacBook Pro (13"), power pack, small external HD, pens, a couple of magazines and maybe a notepad, or folder) I have been looking at either the F-808, or the F-802 (really liking the 802 looks like it's thinner which I like since the MBP is so thin), any suggestions, or recommendations?
Does anyone ever use a hard case and then carry it in a sleeve case like a speck or something? I am new to the macworld and totally overwhelmed as to what case to get. The hard shells seem like they are good if it falls, but the sleeves look good to carry it in. Advice please. Thanks
I have a Speck See-Thru shell and I absolutely love it. I carry my MacBook Pro 13" in a Built NY neoprene zipper sleeve for extra protection. Feel very confident about this set-up.
