Best carrying case for 17" PB?

I'll be getting a 17" Powerbook soon and am curious about a suitable carrying case. I have narrowed it down to the Chrome Kremlin Bike Messenger Bag and the Crumpler Cashmere Blazer Messenger Bag. Both say that they accomodate 17" laptops but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions about these or other cases? I am a graduate student so I need to carry my entire life with me. thanks.

I suggest the timbuk2 bags made to fit the 17" powerbook. theyre a little pricey but are practically indestructible, look super cool and fit my powerbook in a cozy little corduroy pocket. i highly recommend all the timbuk2 messenger bags. here's a link:

they have other options and bag types as well. you can also find them on ebay off and on and save some cash.

  • Carrying case for a ZEN XTRA 30

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a carrying case for a zen xtra that you can run with. I have an old CD player carrier that doesnt work too well, as it allows the player to bounce around and actually stop playing. I went to circuit city and I couldn't find anything.
    Just curious if anyone has seen any different carrying cases for the ZEN XTRA.
    Garrett

    One user test I performed with my Zen Xtra was a 5km jog. I had serious doubts about the belt clip but decided to give it a try. 5kms later my Xtra was still firmly clipped to my belt. There had been no skipping or disk troubles with the player during the jog. The problem came when I got into my car 5 minutes after the jog. SNAP! No more belt clip.
    Later, I found a small, inexpensi've leather pouch for electronic gadgetry, and discovered it had a leather-clad STEEL belt clip on a pivoting ri'vet mount. At home I cut the clip loose from the pouch, trimmed the leather to fit the back of the Xtra case, removed the single ri'vet on the back of the Xtra case as well as the leather boss that holds the plastic clip in place, and sewed the new clip into position. The new clip is far stronger and holds far more tightly than the original clip ever could. My first user test confirmed that the HDD in the Xtra is rugged enough to stand jogging; the new clip holds the player even more tightly to the wearer's body, and also allows the player to sit horizontally on the wearer's hip, which protects the clip from trauma caused by frequent bending or leg movement. To make a long story short, I use the provided case, modified, and find it sufficient for regular high-impact exercise motions.
    Were I to look at this problem more seriously, I would suggest two things: First, the protection of the player demands that it be firmly strapped to the wearer's body; Secondly, the chief cause of trauma to the player is coming from the feet, so, the further from the feet the better. I believe the optimal position is the upper back, so IDEALLY you are looking at a pouch or bag that straps firmly, immobilizing the player, against the upper back of the wearer. If such a pack exists, it would be a specialist jogger/runner/triathlete bit of goods, and thus specialist stores of this nature would be the best places to look.
    I have a second piece of improvised equipment which might do the trick. I use an old-issue USArmy Pistol Belt with an old-issue Small Arms Ammo Pouch. The ammo pouch holds the player in its case quite snugly, and the pistol belt can be worn against the skin (it's cotton!). The pouch can be located at any point on the belt, including the rear, thus leaving no obstacles in the path of swinging arms. You will find this equipment at any army-surplus retailer.

  • BEST LEATHER CASE FOR THE VISION

    whats the best leather case for the vision M, thats not too heavy.

    The best case is the one that Creative sells. It is the only one that allows support for the sync adapter. Stay clear of any purchased from ebay or amazon as there are several of them. The two most popular on the Internet which are not manufactured by Creative seem to be available on almost any site. The one with the kickstand and the exposed top should be avoided. Sure it looks practical, but the plastic protecti've window which is stitched to the case is stitched in a way that it is sharp and will certainly scratch your player, especially if you have the black player. The other most popular leather case has a flip cover which is snapped into place at the bottom. This one is ideal and well padded for maximum protection, but beware, the sync adapter will not fit with this case as well. You will have to remove the player for nearly every case I've seen except the one Creative sells on their website. The better of the two types however is perfect if you wish to carry your player outside and only use it for outdoor protection. There is no guarantee however that all cases will have the plastic window stitched properly so beware! The Creative model has no plastic window as it really doesn't need one. Simply buy the Creative screen protectors for this purpose.
    So save your money and go with the Creative case. It is specifically designed for the Zen Vision:M.

  • Carrying case for my laptop and MOTU Traveler?

    I bought my MOTU Traveler for the portability. Does anyone know of a good, protective carrying case for my MacBook Pro and my MOTU?

    I have the same gear. I just use the Incase neoprene zipbags. (from the apple store, about $30 each.) I got the 17" laptop case to fit my MOTU Traveler. Works great for me.

  • What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s?

    What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s? If I drop my phone I don't want it to crack or break. How protective is the Gorrila Glass?

    I am using the Otterbox Defender, and it's a great case.
    Gorilla glass is a glass applied to phones (not the iPhone, it does not use Corning branded glass), but the iPhone screen is pretty good against scratches.

  • What is the best protective case for 2011 13" Macbook Pro

    What is the best protective case for 2011 13" Macbook Pro (that can withstand an active 4 year old :).   My 4 year old plays with the teaching apps on my iPhone 4 in the otterbox case and its great - the bulkiness of the otterbox not an issue and I love being able to give the phone to him and feel completely comforatable. I would love to find something to protect my Macbook Pror. Thanks for any help!! 

    I would definitely go for a Hardsheel or a Perforated Hardshell Case

    It's a lot of stuff but I'd really appreciate it if you could recommend me some bumpers. Thanks.

    What you just described is the apple bumper perfectly. Just go get one of those.

  • Need carrying case for MUV

    I'm looking for a carrying case for my MUVO^2. I'd like to be able to secure it at my waist for running and working out. The only case that I've seen is one made by Case Logic (not specific for MUVO^2) that straps to your arm. Has anyone found a good case that might even allow you to access the buttons without removing the player from the case entirely?
    Thanks.

    No idea if it's really genuine Nokia, as ebay sellers have twisted the meaning of "OEM" these days. But it does look nice. I should receive it next week or so. Kinda wish it had a clip, but it's the nicest solution I've seen so far.

  • Carry Case for 80G iPod Video

    I've looked everywhere for a carry case for my iPod 80g video but can't find anything to suit. I mostly use it in the car, shut away in the glove box, and wanted something that allows me to plug in the stereo lead with the iPod still in case. I was hoping to get something with room to store the headphones and a extra lead etc.
    Any suggestions?

    Van hello. You should never keep your iPod in your glove compartment as one day you'll find that it will stop working because of excess heat, cold or humidity. Try to take it with you (if possible). There is a good carrying case at the following link: http://www.thegadgetlocker.com/productinfo.php/cPath/218_170_176/productsid/2856
    Hope it helps.
