    I am interested in attractive/stylish yet protective laptop bags (preferably over-the-shoulder or messenger styling). They CANT BE BLACK. Those always make em look like laptop bags and I hate that. I'd prefer some dark chocolate color, or a tan. Maybe microfiber or faux/sueade on the outside? Or some kind of canvas. I'm even open to not-too-flashy patterns and accents on it. I have a 14" notebook for size reference. Suggestions?

    Those aren't bad, but would prefer something cheaper or something I could see in person at a retail store if possible.

    The Samsonite L35 is an option.
