Hello all, just to say first of all that I have read the threads here on backpacks etc and they were very helpfull.... But I am just looking for some help on the hard shell options.

I was looking at the boblbee and axio ones and there is some good reviews on them. But I have come accross some others like the Ergo hard shell being sold on ebay(for about the 1/3 the price of those two), but can't find a review or even another store that sells them. Also there was some other random hard shells that appeared cheaper than boblbee and axio.

can anyone tell me how they got on with a hard shell. Someone who uses it on a motorbike would be excellent, as the boblbee pack looks like it might be a bit long.

any info will help...

thanks,

Hard shell... as in hardshell backpack... or just something to put your powerbook in w/ a hard shell? The only 2 cases that come to mind are the MacTruck by www.radtech.us, and another that was recently posted here but only avaliable in Japan at this time IIRC.
