I am thinking about the TimBuk2 grip sleeve since i dont normally carry that many accessories. Just by PowerBook 1.25GHz 15.4" and the ac adapter. Anyone used the timbuk2 grip sleeve?

found a review here, it looks pretty cool

Im looking at the crumpler messenger bags online, more specifically the busy man and the wackophone. I have a 12inch ibook and i need to be able to carry about another 3-4 text books that are an inch thick each. would the wackophone be big enough? or should i go with the busy man? Thanks

I have an "incase" sleeve and it is very similar to the Timbuk2 grip sleeve. Given the choice, I'd probbably go with the Timbuk2 sleeve, but I could not justify the cost. If you don't want to spend very much money, check out the incase sleeve. I've been very happy with mine.

I order it~ but they did not ask for my visa info.....they said they will e-mail me later...... I suspect that they actually don't have it in stock, yet ~

PowerBook is a charm~

you might consider ordering it at advance~

Boog is sweet~

when I will/shall have my Boog, I will take my 12" PB out for walks..get some sun...with my dogs....and check out other PB ladies~ sweet dreams~

Right now... my 15" PB stays at home and hangs out with my PC(unfortunatly) and a few other of my toys.

If only they had it in stock for the 15" .. then i'll pick one up. As for your 12" ... i think that's how they do it.. I wanted to check on how much shipping would be.. and they don't ask for your credit card information until they contact you..

Another nice bag, but a laptop backpack by Spire

I saw the pictures of the Medium School Hymn with the 12" Powerbook and it's clearly too big. Has anyone tried a small School Hymn? Also, does anyone have the "purse"-type bag from Willow Designs?

Does anybody have a good recommendation for what Timbuk2 bag is best for a 12" PowerBook?

I like the Brenthaven Profile and Waterfield Racer-X in terms of size, but I like Timbuk2's colors better.

[spoticus]

OK, so i just got my first Mac. It's a 17" Powerbook, and it's my new baby. Obviously, I want to protect it so I'm looking for a nice bag. I'd like it if it was a messenger style bag and waterproof or weather-resistent would be a plus. Also, I know i may have to spend a ton of money on it, but the cheaper the better.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I was at an apple store yesterday and i REALLY like the timbuk2 commute.

Separate inside compartment for the powerbook with a nice material to protect from scratches.

lots of pockets.

you could prob swim with it the material seem so water resisistant.

but the part i liked best was the padded outside back wall. NICE.

The whole damn thing just felt snug as a bug.

$99.

Just picked up the WaterField Cargo. Totally awesome bag! Holds all my junk (G4 PB - of course!, PDA, cables, power supply, USB mouse, notebooks, and lots more). One great additional use for the laptop sleeve: serves as a thermal barrier when using the PB on my lap. The PB really is a heat source (I wouldn't hold my breath for a G5 machine) and the laptop sleeve makes it tolerable. Hey, you need to put the sleeve somewhere once you take the PB out.

BTW, the WaterField service was outstanding!

[osxisfun]

so i went back to the apple store to check out the timbuktu commute again and i noticed something...


the commute has a VERY nice black external padding thing on the back walll of it. (the wall that is pressed against your back when you use it.) I am going to use this bag while riding my bike to the office so i want the pb padded between my back and the PB.

I went to the timbuktu site and could not tell that the messanger bags had the same cushion. i do not think they do. I like the colors better on the messenger better..

bummer.

maybe i should go timbuk2 messenger and get a sleeve?

but every sleeve i have seen is too bluky for the protection (brain cell) does anyone out there use a timbukt2 messenger with a sleeve?

I am thinking of the japanese zeroshock sleeve.

thoughts?

I am thinking about getting one of the RadTech bags found here: http://www.radtech.us/Products/ShoulderBags.aspx#SDrift

I am between the small drift and the curve and I have a 12in powerbook. I was wondering if anyone can tell me which bag is better, and if the smaller sleeve offers better protection for the laptop it fits best (if the small drift, made for the smaller laptops, would give better protection because it fits tighter).

Thanks for any help

I have it and like very much. However, there is no room for the AC Adapter, the fit is just too perfect I would say. Whenever I "go mobile", I just leave the AC behind or put in my bookbag with the books and such. I bought it to protect just my powerbook, not the AC too.

[osxisfun]

I'll proably go with this sleeve if i buy a powerbook:

ZeroShock 15-Inch Notebook Sleeve

http://shinza.com/product_info.php?p...cdd606b670dfc1

seems like all the other sleeves either have no protection (or barely) or they have too much (and really border on bags since many have handles)

[asodamiac]

does anyone have the north face borealis back pack? does it come with a laptop sleeve? is the sleeve built in, or is it removeable? also, in a review, it said that the borealis only had one compartment. i was hoping that it would have at least 2 (one for the PB and one for books/notebooks/etc). if anyone has pictures of the borealis, or has used one, can you help me out? thanks.

[asodamiac]

anyone use or have the north face hot shot daypack? looks nice but i would like some insight from people who put their PBs or laptops in there. any help would be appreciated!

[mrchin]

Love my Chrome Designs Mini Metro Messenger bag for my Alu15". And I just received my Booq Bags sleeve. Using the combination of the two now for added protection.

As soon as I get my lazy arse to find my Canon's power adapter, I'll get my battery charged and some pics up.
