Backpack recommendations to carry MacBook pro 15 and pad 2?

Hi guys,

I already posted this in the mbp forum but I thought I would also post in this forum for additional input. Just bought a new iPad 2. I am looking for a backpack to carry my iPad and MacBook pro 15 inch daily. I have read good reviews about North Face, incase, and brenthaven. Having a hard time deciding between the 3. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I have both a 15" MBP and an iPad 2. I, for now, use a booq, I think, Mamba?
Mamba shift? Its a nice bag, but the place where I am keeping the iPad isn't soft and fuzzy like the separate place for the MBP.

I'm in the opposite boat. I am looking for a bag that just holds the iPad and NOT the MBP. I want to be able to take the iPad, my Apple Wireless Keyboard, the charger and maybe a small notebook and pen with me. I have found a Tom Bihn, and a Booq taipan shadow that I like the looks of, but I still need more information.

I did see a bag that has a detachable part for the iPad. I dont know the specific name of the bag but it is a FuL brand. (the u has a line over it. Not sure how to do that on my keyboard) It holds a computer and then in a separate bag that zips on to it, an iPad. The bag can be one or two. Kinda like voltron.

Hope that gives you some other options.

Yea, thanks. I will take a look at them.

I use a Crumpler back pack. It has a separate small section that fits the iPad great.
