    What do you people use to carry aroun your 13inch macbook in? I've got about 2 weeks left at FSU, after which I'll be traveling all over the states for about a month. So i'm looking for something good (and preferably a bit attractive aswell).

    I've been looking at the Crumpler bags, but I haven't been able to find any good review for one of the nicer looking notebook bags (the messenger bags look a lot nicer btw, but I'm not sure how they woud work as laptop bag). Anyone got some hands on experience with these product?

    Any suggestions (preferably with a link or something) for a nice bag/sleeve or case for my 13" MB?

    How much are you willing to spend? Do you want a bag and a case, or whatever will get the job done?

    Whatever gets the job done in style works for me. I would consider anywhere between 25 and 40 dollar reasonable for a quality sleeve or case. While I wouldn't think 120dollar to be outrages for a high quality bag.

    I have a Crumpler camera case that I've been very happy with so far, but I've never used any of their other bags. Ive read good things about Tom Bihn and Waterfield cases/bags.

    This is way over what you want to pay, but I really like the Moshi Codex cases.

    I use the Incase sleeves for my macbook. They look pretty nice, it fits well, and it protects it pretty well too.
