Best Messenger-type bag for 15 inch rMBP?

[Drecca]

Hey everyone,

I've been trying to find a decent looking Messenger type laptop bag for the 15 inch retina MBP.

The current bag I have now comes from an old Dell and barely protects my laptop at all. I've seen some people with messenger type bags that protect the laptop really well and hold a bunch of stuff too.

Something like this : http://store.apple.com/us/product/H0617LL/A

I'd prefer a good build quality too. Preferably with a dedicated ipad (ipad 4, not the mini) slot too.

The nicest one I found is http://store.apple.com/us/product/H...k-air?fnode=50&fs=m.tsFormFactor=messengerbag but it's only for a 13 inch MBP, not 15 inch.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

Depends on your specific needs. I found that the Incase Range series fit my needs best, but i don't need an iPad sleeve, and if I end up getting an iPad it'll be a Mini which will fit in one of the front pockets. Thought the range had the best carrying setup (straps/pads/etc) when combined with total interior space. The Timbuk2s were also quite nice (and had better pocket organization), but I preferred the strap setup on the Range.
