dont magnets damage the liquid crystals (or whatever is in there) in the screen though?
the magnet has zero effect on the computer whatsoever? i just find that odd.
It's more that the magnets used on the clasp just aren't strong enough to do anything like what you're talking about. If you got a powerful magnet, yes, but not one found in consumer products.
just a word of caution, the bag says it can fit up to 17' inch laptops in the laptop pocket, i think thats pretty hard to justify seeing as my 15' rMBP sticks out of the laptop pocket a few inches and its a pretty snug fit as well. other than that the bag is perfect with lots of room.
could you post an inside of the bag? id like to see if there is an additional padded area for the ipad? i know the incase bag has two slots one for laptop one for ipad.
does the laptop slot have an enclosure over it?
i use this bag.

My pelican storm case costs less than that .... that backpack is ugly and ridiculous, $200 for that? I'd rather buy another SSD that waste $200 for that thing.
there's much better around

I bought this backpack a couple of weeks ago. It's not taylor-made for a Macbook, but it has similar aesthetics to your bag, and is significantly cheaper. The leather on your bag does look like it's higher quality, though. If you want any real-life pictures, let me know.
I have used a standard backpack to carry my laptop around a few times - my point was that you do not need something that is marketed towards carrying a laptop, products like that - while genuine - are usually overpriced and overcompensate for where a standard backpack would suffice.

Hey if you like it and willing to spend the 200 go for it, never put a price on anything that makes you happy money comes and goes , when you die you cant take it with you...
The function of carrying stuff, grocery bags can do this same "function" for much less.

To be fair, Macrumors members aren't exactly known for their sense of style. Bags like this are pretty trendy these days. Personally, I'm not a fan of the black fabric with brown leather. But the leather is of high quality, and the clasps are unique and interesting. It's certainly better [read: more fashionable] than most laptop bags. Probably not something everybody could pull off, but if OP is young and dresses well, it shouldn't be a problem.

Sadly there is only 1 padded area for laptops which doesn't have a direct cover except for the top of the bag which is somewhat indirect. ill take pics and edit this post a bit later on.
EDIT:
theres the back laptop pocket, and 2 little side pockets for phones/ipods ect. and thats pretty much it for the main compartment.
