    -it has to look nice and not extremely big depthwise i dont want a suitcase on ym back

    - it needs some sort of reinforcement ont he bottom and maybe sides

    -possibly weather resistant may go to north so snow or georgia so wet or humid

    I don't know about a backpack, but: Sfbags
    Should have a laptop bag bigger than 17".

    Or you could go hardcore with an art porfolio. xD


    You can make a stand-alone custom pouch at thepouch.com. (read the writing under the shopping cart).
