I need a backpack for my motorcycle, and this is supposed to fit the 17" MBP that I am getting today.

Will let you guys know how it works!

Take a look at Booq's new Vyper (on steroids)!
It's the Vyper exo...

There are two sizes, one for the 15" MacBook Pro and the other for the 17".

Those some photos are available at the Booq site itself (only much larger). I'm sort of confused, why link to this readyandsold.com site when it is just as easy to link to the actual booq site? Especially when the actual booq site lists the exo cases as actually being in stock and shipping in 24 hours, whereas this readyandsold.com site says they aren't going to be able to ship them until April.

I have to admit, I'm a bit confused by the choice to link to that site rather than the booq site.

Sorry, the booq site did not say 24 hours when I was there earlier today. I see that it does now.

Hello all,

I'm a big fan of the Tucano "horizontal limit" laptop bags - they are very well designed, and they provide great protection for any macbook pro/powerbook. Recently I've needed a new one and was having a hard time finding them here in the states. In fact, a lot of online sellers would even say they have them in stock, accept my order, and then I'd get the "out of stock/refund" email.
I finally did find a place in NYC that has a bunch of the 15" bags in stock, so for anyone looking for one check these people out. My transaction went very smoothly and the shipping was very fast:

Has anyone got user experience with the Booq's Viper? I am looking for a case for both professional meetings and my commute on a mountain bike?

Any suggestions or opinions gratefully received. Thanks.

I just bought the booq viper sleeve http://booqbags.com/s.nl/it.A/id.65/...=BAGFINDERCAMP for my macbook and it is awesome! It's exactly the kind of thing i wanted...minimal case with a good amount of protection that easily fits inside my backpack for school. Anyone wanting a sleeve for use inside another bag should definitely get the booq viper.

I'm thinking of maybe picking up a sleeve for my soon-to-arrive G4 Titanium PowerBook to use in place of the weak looking one that came with my backpack, and I wanted to know if this one is nicely padded and if it'll fit my PowerBook even though it says it's for the MacBook Pros.
I have this sleeve. At first I wasn't sure about the zipper - it's tight around the corners of the MBP, but there is a lip inside that protects the case. It's cushy and I like the external pocket. Perfect for an ipod nano or notes.

Does anyone know where I can get a leather messenger bag? I'd like one that wasn't the waxed type of leather if at all possible.

I really like the one that Adam Sandler's character in Rein on Me had.

I must say that my new AXIO hard backpack is awesome. It is lightweight and attractive, and I got it on eBay for $120. Does not hold much, but if you are looking for something to hold your macbook and a few other items it is perfect. Really sturdy straps and zippers.

Motorcyclists with MacBooks? This is your pack.
