What size brain cell is needed for the MBP?

Also - it seems like the only difference between the Brain Cell and the Monolith is that the monolith has a zipper while the brain cell has a velcro top. I would actually prefer the zipper top so I can open it in class without the loud sound, but is it padded in the monolith?

Grr. Why is choosing a sleeve/bag so hard?!

According to their website, you need Size 4X (not Size 4) for the MBP.

I have a Braincell and a ID bag to keep it in for my G4PB and I love it.

I guess if you prefer the zipper and no mesh pockets to the Brain Cell and its Aplix flaps, there's no reason not to just get the Monolith then. It sounds to me like they are otherwise very similar.

For what it's worth, I'm not sure that it will be any quieter.... I also got the Smart Alec backpack, and at least the zippers on it do make some sound. Comparing the sound of the two, the Aplix flaps aren't any noisier than a zipper opening. The only difference being that it seems quicker to me to open the Aplix flaps.
