Laptop case

Any of you use a laptop case with your Mac, which one and where did you get it? Got anything good/bad to share? I got a unibody 17'' MBP that's going to see some use.

I have an old Targus bag, pretty traditional with a main padded section and outrigger pockets. It is made of leather, provides adequate protection for the machine and when I go to see a client lets me carry everything but the kitchen sink. It has provided serious service to whatever my main my main laptop has been over the years.

I went to Factory Direct when they had a laptop bag sale and picked up a really cheap bag ($3.88) for my PB 1400. It's purpose is to(a) keep dust off of it and (b) give it some protection going to and from a coffeee shop. If you are on a real budget, you can't beat the price.

My daughter got a bag, don't know the make, that is all leather, but looks like an open top business valise, or large size purse. Her thought was she wanted a good bag, wanted to look business like, but did not want to advertise that she was with a laptop.

In the long run leather wears well and stays pretty clean.

I have my 15" on the way and am looking at some Targus ones from Staples. I also need to have my profire and cables with me for the portable studio.

I agree with the leather, and also the not advertising aspect of getting one that isn't a "hey look at me i'm a hipster laptop case!"

Looking at Targus*|*CLN5*–*Targus Leather Notebook Case and Targus*|*TET020CA*–*Toploading Platinum Laptop Case- 15.4"

but Targus*|*TEC002CA*–*Clamshell Platinum Laptop Case- 17" has really caught my eye. Looks like a lot of room for everything that would go in a briefcase and the laptop.

I have one of these. It's a sweet bag. Has a memory foam coccoon and loads of room. They also come in Backpack style.

I was thinking more something along the lines of Speck SeeThru hard case (plus a carrying case of course).

there are krusell bags
Krusell Bags Canada - Krusell Laptop Cases -

they're padded well to protect your laptop and have lots of compartments for accessories and what not. I also like the fact that they don't look like laptop bags.
