What case/bag do you have for your MBP?

[macrem]

I have this bag from Coach:

It's awesome! I always thought Coach was kind of overpriced, but actually this bag was very price competitive with bags from Timbuk2, Crumpler, Waterfield, etc. and a lot better looking IMO. The nylon feels very nice. It's tough and smooth, and it's not that ballistic nylon garbage that feels like cheap plastic. I have a MacBook Air, but it will easily fit a MBP too.

Where were you when I bought my bag?? Actually I like my bag but it costs about the same as a Coach bag! This Coach bag looks great too, excellent find!!

does "this one" have a name?

lol yeh, sorry - I did link the page. Did you try clicking on the image? It's the 'PYTHON XL[SYSTEM] WITH VYPER XL2' made by Booq

Here's the one I have: BOOQ Folee ll
Worth watching for the 'rad' soundtrack alone

That Booq is a "python system"

I just bought the Booq Boa 3 system, it's awesome. I was debating between the boa 3 and the folee 2, but ultimately went for the backpack because I'm a student and ride a bike... the folee would have been scraping my rear tire and flopping everywhere.

the boa is awesome. expensive, but worth every penny.

What do you mean by "python system," that it will choke you out with the price?


j/k I love mine, solid.

Tom Bihn's Brain Bag with 4Z Horizontal Brain Cell for Late 2008 MBP.

I'm using a Tumi Tech Messenger Bag for my MBP 15". I tried out a few and really like this one so far. First got a Osprey Messenger Bag from REI. That one was nice but didn't like the flap and velcro. Took that back and got a Keen Messenger bag. Another nice one but not very practical.

Finally settled on the Tumi after looking at Briggs and sfbags.com. The Tumi is great. My only slight issues are that the pockets for pens and small pockets are on the flap making it a little heavy and the clips at the bottom. The cost was reasonable.

I don't know...might treat myself to a Waterfield bag eventually. I really like their paraglider clip and hate velcro! But till then, I think the Tumi will do well. I've gotten lots of compliments on it too.

incase plus...basically the incase neoprene sleeve with handles and a strap...i like it a lot because its really slim.

Brenthaven Edge II for the MacBook Pro 15". It is a custom case that fits the machine like a glove. They have other models to fit other Macs as well.

I purchased the new Taipan Slimcase M from Booqbags and couldn't be happier. The bag is the perfect size for the Unibody MacBook Pro. The main reason I purchased this was because of the price ($79) and the size/weight. I wanted a bag that I could fit a magazine or two, the charger, and the laptop.

I use this case by Ogio: http://www.ogio.com/product.php?product=610

It's sturdy, has a bunch of storage and super comfy!

I used to use a Swiss pack (made by Wenger) and it help up great for 5+ years and 4+ laptops... http://www.wengerna.com/maxxum-computer-backpack

I was really tempted by that one. It does look pretty nice on their website.

Oh come on, freaking Coach for under $200 & take a look at the pic ^^: now that's style... but no more comments? I'd be all over that deal if I didn't have a relatively new bag, in fact I might just splurge. Coup d'état p0wned us.

^ This one for me. Most versatile backpack you can imagine. I can fit my digital SLR in along with CDs, DVDs, 17" MacBook Pro, and a jacket...

Highly recommended.

How is the hard case? is it a snug fit?

I just got a Crumpler Chester Squander briefcase style bag. I really like it. The late 2008 MBP just barely fits comfortably. I would have liked a bit more storage, but it was pricey enough, the next step up is like $160. A bit rich for my blood.

oakley si computer bag

going to get the buzz by tom bihn next

Geez, does it come with free grenades or do you have to purchase them separately?

 

[infernohellion]

Nylon Sling Pack's really good. Not to bulky plus it shows your pecs really well.

Excellent fit! Specifically made. My one is for the 17", but they do a whole range. Not particularly cheap, but excellent quality & as the saying goes - 'you get what you pay for'. I was happy to spend the money to ensure my £2000 laptop was safe.

Full range found here <- click me

I love the fact it looks so, well, brutal! Couldn't justify the horizontal, so have just ordered the vertical version.

Researching it, it is based off their military endeavours, so you're not wrong! Definitely not a bag for work though, strickly casual methinks... don't want my co-workers thinking I'm going postal...

Just curious what cases or bags you are using for your MBP. I'm looking for a durable and rugged case/bag for an aluminum MBP 15.4

Thanks

I got the Cozmo mambo combo. It's professional looking, attractive, durable and it's not made by little yellow or brown hands for $0.05/day.
If you add d rings to the sleeve, you can attach the shoulder strap from the bag and use it as its own slimmed down bag. When flying, I've used just the sleeve and the strap to transport my MBP.
Since I hate leather, I asked them to remove that from the bag. Even though they had to customize the bag, they didn't charge extra and it didn't take as long as I feared.
If you want a good quality bag that will last, go with American made: Waterfield, Tom Bihn, Red Oxx, etc. Yes, they cost more, but you're paying for high quality work that won't fall apart. You're not paying for some designer name that uses child labor to create shoddy bags.

 

[greenbreadmmm]

i have an incase bag thing and a swiss book bag. highly recommend the book bag.

 

[slapppy]

I have a brand new MBP 2.5 also. I wanted a bag thats cheap, easy to open and close, waterproof, freezing temperature proof keep the moisture out, folds to fit my pocket or jacket pocket. Weigh only a few ounces. Get the super jumbo version.
