MacBook bags: where to buy?

I got this one, minus the design on it:

Case Logic Canvas Messenger Bag > Backpacks & Messengers > Case Logic

I got it in British Army olive drab. It is sort of "artsy" looking, and it has padding on all sides for the laptop. It is designed for a laptop. I am an academic, and it works for me beautifully.

Techound1, I'm glad you mentioned Timbuk2. That's a brand I'm not familiar with, but after looking at their site - especially their build-a-bag options - I think I've found exactly what I'm looking for! I didn't wanna put my MacBook in *just anything* ;D but I think I'm on the track towards what I had in mind all along...

There are bags, and then again there are bags. I have a theory. Life is about bags. Think about it. Everything is contained in something. I am bag crazy. I love bags. But, I digress. The coolest, best made, most convenient to use laptop bag I've found is made by Waterfield in San Francisco. Take a look. I've had two of them and will buy more I'm sure.

So, now you have me thinking. Life is all about bags. Bags are important. It reminds me of the time I "actually noticed" revolving doors for the first time. What a great invention. But that is for another post.

I need a bag that I can carry a few notebooks, class material (books, etc) a bible and my 13" MBP. I have a messenger bag now, but it's just too flimsy to trust with my new macbook pro. AND my buddies never fail to remind me how cute my "purse" is. I need something more sturdy with less zippers AND more manly.

Pakuma is a brand I'd definitely look into.

Welcome to Pakuma

I have the K2, and it's the best bag I've ever owned. Securely holds my macbook pro, the top is velcro and clip fastened, and is pretty much waterproof. (although dropping in puddles, monsoon etc is obviously not the case!)

I like my brenthaven sling i (that's the one for 13 inch macbooks) since I don't carry much else with me beyond macbook, power, mic, and guitar cables. The sling ii is for 15 inch macbooks.
