Anyone recommend a good backpack for use at work? I work in an office and I'd like it to fit my 15 MacBook. I'd also like it to "stand up" as opposed to falling over and lots of room for pens, books etc...
Just my 2 cents, but if you are in an professional office environment, don't get a backpack. People will think you are a student, and won't take you seriously. Get a nice briefcase or messenger bag instead. I use the Waterfield Cargo in combination with a suede sleeve for my computer:

And it does stand up.
A have the one in picture. Shock and wareproof. It is a product of a well-known Swedish Company Thule that has proved itself over the decades in many fields.
That's the make I've been looking at but can't find it in stock anywhere.

I wonder if there's a 15" version..
Here, but don't like it as much.

I just got a 13" MacBook Air and might want a hard shell case for it. Are some better than others? Which ones would you suggest? Or don't get one and just use it as it and put it in a case when traveling?

I keep saying I'm going to review my felt sleeve but I never seem to have time...stuck between catching up on Mad Men episodes on netflix, work and bar outings....so here goes:
I have the Charcoal Merino Wool Felt Case with Leather Strap from Untype.com and its the one that I recommend to people with MBA's or iPads. When I'm travelling for work, I get asked all the time about it. If you want the cheaper version, there's one without a leather strap. Both look very stylish but I think the leather goes well.
The protection is pretty good in that the felt has protected my MBA while in my messenger bag with all my other crap in there (pens, iphone etc). I swing around that bag quite a bit and its taken serious punishment in the plane overhead bins when I fly.
As for theaesthetic, it goes perfectly with the MBA and keeps the weight off the whole package when you travel. I HATE travelling heavy and that's why I jumped on the MBA, so I needed something that was going to protect but not weight a lot.
The cool thing is that it's hand-made. I would go with either the White, grey or charcoal versions if you do get one. I prefer charcoal but that's just me.
They still have that promotion going on their website which brings the cost down significantly. The code is: "Summer11". Here's the promo code link.
Here's a pic of the one I got from their website:
