    Ok...I have a macbook and an ipod touch

    I have currently a Tom Bihn "The Buzz" bag.
    Its the original one that wasnt made for the macbook or the MBP.

    For anyone who has a touch they know it is kind of a pain to put the touch in a bag while listening to music and then when it comes to changing tracks, you need to pull it out.

    I would like a new backpack(prefer. a sling pack). One that stores all my stuff and that has an ipod controller on the strap. this bag needs to store:

    *My Macbook(with charger and apple remote)
    >A Wireless mouse (bluetooth Mighty mouse)
    +My digital camera(kodak m753)
    *My iPod Touch
    +Cables for both ipod and camera
    > A pocket for my cell phone (Pantech C3)
    *As well as work stuff
    ---My nametag for work(on a lanyard)
    ---2 pens

    *=really needed +=Would like >=optional
    I'd prefer one built for the macbook and nothing really bigger. i hate it when a bag has room for a laptop to move around and i would hate to use a sleeve as well...

    I know I sound picky but does anything come close to this out there.

    Check out the Waterfield Designs Racer-X. You could use the outside pocket for your iPod, and the bag is designed specifically for Apple notebooks. I don't know if it has individual pockets for everything you want to carry, but it should hold it all.

    i dunno if u want one of these but let me tell you they are great!! i got mine today and its worth every penny. everything has been optimized for storage space, i reckon you could get a library in there. its not huge tho fits nicely with my lappy's size (15.4 inch) only leaving around an inch at the top. there is a HUGE!!!!!! front pocket that would easily become the habitat of an ipod touch im putting mine in there anyway and its pretty effective! the bag looks and feels great well worth the money!!!!!!!!!!!

    and 5 year warranty what more could you ask!!!!!!!!! im definitely happy with this best $179 i have ever spent. (yes i no its expensive but how much does a basic targus bag go for ? 40$ how long does it stay looking decent for and how does it suit the purpose?)

    VERY VERY VERY HAPPY WITH BOOQ AND THE FINE PEOPLE AT RUSHFASTER
