Anyone tried to ACME laptop bags for 15" PB?
http://www.acmemade.com/bags.html
Personally I really really like the outlook of the bag, but my concern are:

1. It's durability
2. Room. The bag seems quite slim cut, do you think it provides enough room for fitting my PB with zeroshock sleeve, plus some accessories (i.e. like mouse, power adapter)
3. Price. The bag that I'm looking is selling at $169US. It seems a bit too expensive, isn't it?

Woah. Those are some funky looking bags.

I'm not the biggest fans of bags, so I bought a sleeve from Waterfield Designs (www.sfbags.com) and just carry it around in my backpack at school. I like the sleeve idea way better because then I don't need to carry an extra bag and stuff.

But sorry, I don't know much about those bags there. I know a lot of people seem to like the Brenthaven bags a lot, but that's pretty much all I know. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

They have some kind of hardshell also on the botttom and sides. In my opinion, highly underrated.

Better than my old Timbuk2 softshell, and Waterfield case (which is good vertically in a backpack.)

1) very durable
2) it's fairly slim. You won't need the zeroshock anymore.
3) i'd say go for basic black and save money. though personally, i have great taste and love their designs. and i'm not gay, like others purport you must be to appreciate fabric for chrissakes.

I bought an Acme 15" bag for my wife's TiBook about a year and a half ago. So far, it looks "as new", although she doesn't exactly give it a beating in her daily use. The quality of the bag is excellent, and it's extremely durable. Pricey, but a really, really great bag.
All opinions are entirely those of my employer. It's not my fault.

For me my Tom Bihn bag is still the best. The system he designed with your computer 'hanging' in the bag has my vote.
