    well, I'm going to get the Sumdex Impact guard for daily use. However, when I go to conferences or presentations I need something that looks a little more professional (other than my backpack).

    So I need a bag that offers max protection and preofessional style. I have looked at few and maybe you all can let me know your preferences and experiences.

    It's for a Thinkpad T42

    Here are the models I have looked at and am most interested in:

    I would personally pick Item 184. It is the lightest. Unless you are getting high grade leather, I don't see the Targus lasting that long and still look good. I had a leather case that tended to show wear and tear. Ballistic nylon is more durable. What does your clientele carry? Leather or Nylon bags?

    You make a good point about leather wearing down. I probably could go briefcase but there is this casual trend going on at the moment.

    Research is a strange field of individuals but showmanship is actually quite important come grant time, so you have to look succesful.

    What does anyone think about the Kensington saddle bag? Does it really deserve about.com ranking as the #2 messenger bag.
