I got my Macbook Pro in the mail today that my dad ordered me and he got the 15.4 inch screen but updated the hard drive and memory. I am flying up to see my dad in New Hampshire, his up there on business, and I need a case with a shoulder strap to carry it in. I don't need anything fancy just something to hold the laptop and the power cord and maybe my ipod dock. I'm willing to spend about $60 to $70 for one.
Got a tip for us?

I found one at Best Buy and it says that it holds most computers with a screen of 15.4 but it doesn't look like that to me from the picture.

The MacBook Pro is a widescreen so it might not fit. I have a messenger bag that can hold 15" screens, and my MBP barely fits. I'd get one designed for the MBP if you can.
If you buy a traveling backpack or suitcase for your laptop may I also suggest you purchase an INCase [or is it NCase] for your laptop as well. It is pretty much just a cover/case for your laptop that is thick enough to be used as a heatsink when you actually use your laptop on your lap. And since those intels get super hot it's pretty nice.
It also prevents your laptop from getting scuffed up and/or moving around within your tavel case because it is made specifically for the 15.4 Intel Mac.
