Welcome to the MacNN Forums.

How did you engrave the apple logo on like that?

I bought this one for my air and I love it. Nice and slim but has ample protection.

Its one of those stickers apple includes with all their stuff.

For the well-heeled among MacBook Air owners, check out the Hermes Yohji Bag.

Do full-sized Apple stores carry Macbook bags? I would like to get a look at any bag I would buy.

Does anyone have a Marware Sportfolio Deluxe? How much actual protection does it offer?

Yes .. they do carry them. I bought one there. (By Incase)

I do not know of the bag that you speak so I can't help you there.

After having used the Booq Vyper Exo for a while with my new Penryn 15" MBP I have to say it's the best laptop bag I've owned. You can fit a ton of stuff in there, and it's compact and super sturdy. Excellent bag. You can pick it up for $166 from eBay (an actual dealer, brand new) with shipping included.

I had missed the Booq bag. It's nice. There is even a review on MacNN on it. I'm going to order one when I free some cash.

Lots of free cash. I wanted a Booq badly, but didn't want to spend that much on it.

I picked up this CaseLogic messenger bag a couple weeks ago, and I couldn't be happier with the style/price/functionality combo it gives me. Highly recommended, especially for MacBook owners.

Does anyone here have an Oalkey sandbag? The original version, not the new ones. I've been looking at buying one, but right now funds are low so I've been putting it off for a while.

i'm using bagjack x headporter

just what i need, where can i find one?

Berlin ?

I've gone through so many laptop bags, never quite being satisfied, that I decided to make my own. I didn't get very far, mainly because of time, but then I saw a post in the Modern Materialist (it's a nerve.com blog) about DDIY (Don't Do It Yourself). There's a feature on etsy.com called Alchemy where you can basically ask for whatever you want and how much you're willing to pay and a bunch of people will bid for the opportunity to make it. I designed a bag that fit all the things I like to carry in individual pockets, then a middle sleeve for a magazine, papers, etc., and then another sleeve in the back for my MacBook Air (with or without a sleeve). A woman named Kathryn, who has a company called Zakiyaa, made the bag for me and suggested some good changes that made the bag a lot better. She also put my logo on it, which is kind of neat. So, I ended up with exactly the bag I wanted for less money than some of the other bags I've purchased (namely Booq). It's also a vegan-friendly bag. I'm not a vegan, but that makes this option good for vegans. Kathryn did a really great job and I wanted to help get her more business and that's why I'm posting about it. I also feel like other people would benefit as well. If you'd like to take a look at the bag she made for me, I posted some pictures on flickr (and will probably post some more soon):

I have gone through Booq (zip broke), KTM (pocket stitching came loose on 2 bags and I lost USB keys out of the holes :/ ), and a few others, all with issues.

These days I stick with 2 brands only... Timbuk2, and Crumpler. Had 3+ of each bag, and no problems at all.

Just got myself a crazy thin mac air ,bought a mini sleepingbag for air and macbook from Furryrobo looks cool.

I think I'm getting that one, probably in gray or black

I bought this semi-hard sleeve for my new MacBook
Infocase Endo Sleeve for MacBook

I bought it from Buy.com since they offer free shipping.

This sleeve fits perfectly into my backpack that I used to use for my PC Notebook. It fits into the padded sleeve built into the backpack. So I actually have double protection for the MacBook.. an outer soft padding from the backpack sleeve and the Infocase Endo Sleeve's semi-hard sleeve.

I say semi-hard instead of hard because the sleeve is not completely stiff, but it does offer great protection.

It is pretty, but I primarily use it inside my backpack anyway, and it does its job.
