Does anybody know where i can get a small backpack with two shouldstraps just big enough to hold my 12 inch iBook?

(If you've ever seen the cartoon/anime Digimon, yes i know its a kids show, there's this kid named izzy who had this ibook-like laptop, but he had the coolest backpack)

I've seen a few around, but i can't remember where?

Not sure if it's exactly what you are looking for, but http://www.jansport.com have excellent quality on their back packs. I doubt they still have my model around still but its name was Laptop Pack and came with a 30 year guarantee. It's huge enough for have additional school books or whatever and my iBook in a special laptop pocket good protected. Worth checking out if you have one of the resellers near by where you live and see if they have any models that fits you. just my 0.02.

Something like this?

A step up from the MacCase® Sleeve, the MacCase® Binder can also be carried in a briefcase or backpack but can also be used as a stand-alone case.

I also like this one for its size and simple style:

Well, since you posted for help here in the first place, you know how hard it's to find one, right?

The closest thing I found for what you are looking for is with one strap.

Some people are never satisfied, and helping them is unappreciated.

no, i DO appreviate it, really i'm sorry, the closest i've come t to finding one was those kensington saddle bags, but their too bulky

a regular bookbag with a towel...works great.

And saves the $$$....good luck.

I love goincase -- I have their other bag for my 12" iBook (one shoulder strap) and it's just very well designe;. Un-fussy and minimal in appearance.

The first one I bought though was defective and within the first week the stitching that holds the strap on at one end completely came un-stitched. I immediately returned it from the retailer where I purchased it and the replacement has been no problem. The inside has just the right amount of room for a few dics and power adapter, and even room for my Treo recharger, etc.

I liked goincase so much I also later bought their case for my mini-disc which can also double for my digital camera.

I just ran across these bags as well:

I wanted to chime in about the quality of incase's bags -- They're great. I have the 12" iBook sleeve, and it literally saved my iBook from obliteration this morning.

My part of PA was hit really hard with thunderstorms and flash-floods this morning, and I woke up to a flooded apartment. I had time to get some clothes and my prized possesions (guitars, iBook, and some other stuff) into my car. It was raining so hard that I was swallowing rain water while running out to the car. Anyway my iBook was one of the only things that stayed completely dry (water even seeped into parts of my guitar cases).

So, in terms of protection from the elements, I think that incase is pretty good.

Brenthaven mobility is the best their is for the ibook. Its worth the $99 price tag

Really? I didn't know Apple had branded a backpack. Any chance you could post a picture or a link?

I own a Moya Deluxe the predecessor of the MoyaPak, they don't make it anymore and it was never really designed for the iBook but it fits my iBook perfectly, power adapter, iPod, and cellphone. It's stylish and rugged bag. Beats anything Targus has to offer hands down.
