Which 17" messenger bag?

[ScottDrummer]

Hi,
Sorry yes another bag thread
Im looking for a 17" bag which will hold and protect the laptop securly, aswell as a few other bits and bobs.

Im thinking along the lines of
crumpler sticky date
crumpler Bucktaker

can anyone throw any more suggestions or recommendations into the pot?

Thanks

First of all I hate how they don't view the insides.

Second I would only go with "messenger bag"-style if I would get a very slim and light bag which will only carry the laptop.

For anything else get a real back pack since messenger bags hurts your shoulders so much if you cary a little more weight and will be doing that for some time.

Wenger seems to make very nice back packs and I will probably get one of those.

the crumpler website give youpics of the insides.
I also like the look of the Booq Folee XL not sure if its too business for me, i prefer the more casual look

I don't know if you want to spend this much, but here is a very nice one. They carry it at The Apple Store on Regent Street and a number of other places.

bit to swanky for me. i prefer the more hip, casual crumpler style

Holy Moly those bags are ridiculously overpriced

Have a crumpler sticky date myself, find it very small though don't use it much. Plenty of pockets though.

does a 17" fit in a 15" crumpler? I seem to be able to get my mbp in my gfs 15" laptop bag no worries. anyone actually got a 15" bag and put a 17" mbp in it?

I have an Acme Made Clyde (large) and I'm very happy with it:
