I have read the sleeve thread, but there are very few posts mentioning hard cases. I'd like to find a sleeve that has a hard outer shell. When I put my 12" iBook in my bag (seen here (http://www.mckleinusa.com/rseries/80714.html), gift from my father), I am afraid it will possibly move around. Any suggestions?

Reading your post, I don't completely understand why you're looking at hard cases. If you're putting it inside another bag, I think a rugged sleeve should be adequate for protection.
To that end, I would look at this (http://www.booqbags.com/Detail.bok?no=97) sleeve from Booq. The Vyper has been well-received (you can search these forums for numerous testimonials). I have a Booq PowerSleeve, which I think is excellent.
I hope that helps - good luck!

I just don't want to squeeze the screen into the keyboard while carrying the bag on my side.

Look into something like this (http://www.radtech.us/Products/NotebookScreensavrz.aspx). It protects your screen from the keyboard, and does a great job of keeping your screen clean. It made my 3yr old TiPB screen look new.

OK, now I understand. Not wanting the screen & keyboard to touch is a separate issue.
You can do a search on the forums for products like that; when I last looked, the RadTech that faintember suggests was one of the best out there.
I simply use the foam insert that came with the computer - I feel like it's adequate for not allowing the oils/residue from the keyboard to damage the screen.

Good luck!
