Backpack for the rMB?

[danielwerner]

Hey,

Does anyone know of a good backpack to use with the rMB (12 inch)? I'm looking for a pretty light backpack with a pocket which fits the rMB well, and preferably another pocket for an ipad mini or something.

I'm looking for a backpack, not a messenger bag and not a sleeve. I want the laptop to be hidden while commuting, and I've never liked messenger bags.

Thanks!

Pretty much anything that fits the MBA 11" will fit the MBR.

I couldn't find a good backpack for the 11 inch air either.

It would fit in the secret bottom compartment: http://www.man-pack.com/shop/man-pack/man-pack-classic-2-0.html

GoPlug Bags just added USB-C port for charging into the entire line of bags!

They will be releasing their backpack soon!

I use this backpack for my rMB:

It also has an extra pocket for an ipad. Although it says it can carry up to a 13-inch laptop, I feel the back pocket is too small/tight for a 13". I originally bought this for my 11" MBA; the 12" rMB fits in there too. I liked it because of it's small shape/size and light weight.

There is another bag for those who want a single strap/minimal look:

They advertise that it's for tablets, but the rMB 12" fits perfectly. I use this one when I travel abroad.

Cocoon innovations slim backpack. Best out there

Though you don't like messenger bags, Timbuk2 does make commuting and travel backpacks with laptops and tablets in mind.

I like both the Cocoon Slim and the STM Aero. Which do you think will fit my needs the best? And which will protect the rMB the best?

Anyone who has one of them?

Cocoon Slim 100% of the way.

I used a sling backpack for my 11" macbook air and will use it for mr rMB (has a zipper pocket on back of bag just for that or an ipad....) . Its a little higher end, but I love tumi, they make great quality bags and lifetime warranty against damage (a truck ran over my suitcase once and they still replaced it)

it can sometimes be found on ebay cheaper
