help me find a bag for my macbook please

No, but it screams you have $350 for a laptop bag... Wow.

Wow, I am glad I did not mention I also use a Y-3 Messenger bag for the BlackBook. That one is pricier, and much harder to find. I use a Timbuk2 for my work laptop, and Crumpler for my camera bags. But sometimes, you have to treat yourself and your Mac good.

I own this. It's the small loft bag from STM. It's perfect for your Macbook sizewise.

I bought it from a site for $44.

I have been considering this bag. Do you know how it compares to the STM Alley?
Also, where did you get it that cheap? The best price I've seen is $54 delivered.

I'm after a crumpler school hymn case for a macbook pro (my mate has one for his 12inch iBook and swears by them). Can't seem to find them on any UK sites though. however here are a lot of 15 inch ones, but descibe themselves for the powerbook. Looking at the dimensions i don't think those cases will fit a macbook pro. Any ideas where I can get one from? If not, any american sites that ship to the UK pretty cheaply?

Cheers

Craig

www.crumplereurope.com is a good place to get crumplers in the uk, also http://we-sell-crumpler.co.uk/ i own many crumpler bags but for my macbook pro i decided to go with Huzzk Bags http://www.huzzk.com i got the black gt and will try to post some photos later if i can be bothered but i have 3 history exams tomorrow afternoon.

Really like the look of the huzzk case. How do they perform? I just want somethin that protects the macbook pro really well and doesn't make it that much bigger. I've found the huzzk on ebay, anywhere else sell them? (couldn't find an add to basket or price on that official site)

is that rubber?

 

[00hkelly]

its got a good rubber outside with the tyre texture wich looks VERY good in the flesh, the inside is neoprene/wetsuit material the zips are as good as any crumpler bag i have and around them is a good sturdy fabric. the bag is made very well and seems sturdy and good quality. i just have this bag inside my crumpler messenger bag with all my other stuff. in each corner on the inside is a diagonal piece of elastic which allows you to keep the bag attached to the laptop if you want to use the lappy on your knees for example and dont want the case flying everywhere. the zip covers 3 sides but doesnt go right to the edge of the 4th, i think this is for ventilation when you are using it with the mbp in it as it leavs a slight gap for the fans. soz no pics as am busy.
you can get them on ebay or go tohttp://www.itoyzstore.com

Just picked one up from the STM folks at Macworld SF for $45.00 with no tax.
Nice bag!

I bought the super neato Swiss Army backpack at my nearest Apple store, so that I could ride around on my bicycle and take my laptop with me. I can't recall specifics on the price but I think it was at least $60 or $70 -- but it's worth it for a good build quality in the bag. I've run through so many crappy, el cheapo backpacks that end up with broken zippers, that I got tired of it. It's something I don't use just solely for toting my laptop, but for books, my SLR camera, et cetera.

I have a Crumpler Part and Parcel for a 15" laptop that I've used only a few times. Like brand new, $145 msrp. Let me know if you are interested.

I'll be using this bag combined with a Booq Vyper shell when I get my MB

Hi there. When I was searching for a case, I came across these. http://www.zattache.com/styles.htm
Ebags.com used to sell them, but they don't seem to carry them anymore. They're very nice looking though. Good luck!

 

[skyrockets1530]

I bought a toffee sleeve (http://www.toffeebags.com) its really great because i have another bag to put it in- but it doesn't have a handle or anything like that. Looks nice and protects the computer though. There was a review of them here (http://www.macgeekery.com/opinion/articles/reviews/tasty_toffee)- quite happy with it.

Thanks

The zeroshock III from elecom. It's thin and sleek and offers great protection. Plus it comes in flavors of white and black so you can match with your macbook if you like. I got mine for about $35 shipped

CDW has pages of them, in all styles and price ranges.

If you want something sturdy you might want to take a peek at http://www.brenthaven.com

Love this Incase bag. It functions as a bag and as a sleeve. The strap is removable so you can toss this bag inside of another. The interior of the bag itself is a very soft material to help against scratches.

i second that, your first concern should be protection (not style) unfortunately, it seems it's difficult to get both. so there are maybe a lot of cool bags out there but will they really protect your laptop?
