I got a Targus Backpack for my PowerBook at Sports National. It was a really good price and I am quite pleased with it. I also have a 12 inch PowerBook.

If you're looking for something pretty neat looking (a bit expensive though...and watch out for customs charges) Timbuk2 (www.timbuk2.com) has some really neat bags.

I got This for my 12' PB. Extremely high quality. I use the sleeve and slip it into my leather satchel type brief case.
I've always found this to be the best way of "not advertising" that I'm carrying a computer around with me. Much brighter idea IMHO than putting a target on it for thieves.

Those Timbuk2 bags are pretty sweet though!

Tucano cases, available at London Drugs, $64.99 for 12" (make sure you get the 12"PB, not the 12"iB, same price anyway), if you want really minimalistic.

I have a booq sleeve for my 12" pb. It's great if you don't have much more than a few extra papers to carry around (and even then it's tight fit). They have other solutions that you can add to the sleeve like a backpack and a shoulder bag. It's around $65 for the sleeve but it's tough as nails and the strap is very comfortable. I bought mine at creative technologies in Burlington but they also just opened a toronto store and you can buy online.

It's all about the foofbag!! I have a "fire engine red" foofbag sleeve for my 12 inch PB and love it to death. When not in transit, I sit my PowerBook on top of it, incase I spill water or something on my desk.

Shipping from Oz is a pain, but worth it!

Those foofbags are nice! I had never heard about them before, but the variety in fabrics/colours is really nice. I would definately buy that if I was looking for a sleeve, very cool!
