Anyone know of a "sleek lookin" backpack for my 15" Powerbook that specifically is built for an Ipod too? I can't remember where I saw one, but it had a specific holder, places where you thread the headphone cord through, and an opening at the top so you can listen to it while you walk. I don't know, I just think I would use this so much when takin my Powerbook with me!

Burton makes one that i think also has the controls for it in one of the straps like their jacket does. Might want to to a search on them.

You might want to check something like a wallet shop or outdoors shop. I don't know if they have anything iPod specific, but I've gotten a case for my cell phone for my back pack for when I'm headed to the gym and don't want to wear my belt case, or when I'm on a long flight and want to store the phone.
You might be able to get something that you can store the iPod in on the strap, so you still have access to it. They're pretty secure with velcro these days.

But would the Burton one hold the Powerbook? I really want a Powerbook w/ Ipod integration rather than Ipod backpack than can hold a Powerbook. Thanks

I know the Brenthaven backpack for the PowerBook (could be executive backpack) has a specific external pocket to hold the iPod and headphones. Tha may also be worth checking out. I have the over-the-shoulder case made for the Tibook and absolutly love it. After a year it still looks brand new.

I have the Booq system. Have they modified the hole so you can fit the end through it???

By end I mean so the contoller can be OUTSIDE the bag and not internal as it stands at the moment?

(Not that I use this feature at all!!)

Great bag though

Wow, the Booq will definately be my choice. May I ask, I have a 15" Powerbook, what type of Booq did you all get?

I went with the BP3 system. You have main bag for travelling and carrying lots of stuff, and then the sleeve which you can use for tooling around work.

And does the BP3 System have a specific Ipod pocket and stuff for cord? Just basically Ipod integration? But I love that it comes w/ a sleeve, thats awesome!

Located at the top is a pocket which has an two zips. The cord I guess sits between these zips. This pocket is then sheltered by a flap that has a hole (with a headphone icon).

This design may have changed - I have had two bags and they were different (the second one being better than the first).

Personally I never use the feature as I find I get tangled up and end up strangling myself with headphone cables!

I use a Mobility Backpack by Brenthaven. Padded pocket for my 15" Ti, padded iPod pocket in the front for my 15gig. Is a hole for the headphone cord to come out through.

Go to the Apple Store and check out the Burton

the Burton pack seems real slick and it has plenty of room for a laptop

although - I would recommend getting a good sleeve, if you're gonna put a laptop within it
