I just picked up a Crumpler Dreadful, but I also have a Puma Messenger with an Incase sleeve and a Chrome Metropolis. Great bags, but I'm now partial to the Crumpler since it's new and it has a built-in padded compartment for my MBP. I'm also going to order a Crumpler camera case that fits inside the Dreadful to carry a camera body, a couple of lenses, a flash and accessories.

The Dreadful has tons of room which basically means the bag will be heavy when filled. At least it has a non-slip shoulder pad for comfort.

koo i use 5 million blue.. and use one for my compact digital also.. very nice bag

Hm, incase doesn't seem to sell the macbook case I have. It's not neoprene like all the others + it has handles (and a removable strap).

But here's my backpack that I usually carry it in:

Thanks, I was really uncertain what to get whilst looking around, loads of contradicting reviews on different sites... Cheers!

This one is a bit heavy but I got it with a discount coupon and it looks great and can hold a lot of other stuff. Better picture of the LLBean Turbo Hauler.

This "Incase look-a-like" Belkin Slim Backpack

hey, this is a nice backpack, it looks like my previous bag from Samsonite. However it was sold with my 12 PB

Could you share some of the thoughts you have on this one? is it waterproof ?

Cheers

This is the best bag I have ever owned, honestly. I looked at the Incase bag that's made almost identical to this one and couldn't justify the additional $40 to buy it. I love that the laptop compartment is soft and raised above the floor of the bag (extra shock absorption) And it's great for carrying your computer, a notebook, and small textbook, as well as some pens and such. It has a headphone eyelet to keep your ipod in the bag, but I usually just clip it to my belt.

As far as it's moisture repelling capabilities im not sure, I wasn't brave enough to test it. It doesn't advertise waterproof-ness though, so I don't think that's a feature. It is pretty thick however and would take awhile for moisture to soak through.

Another cool feature is the power brick zip bag it comes with. About the size of a pencil case, it zips and keeps your power cord all together and not snaking around inside the bag.
