Messenger/Courier Bags for my mbp?

Yea, do u guys have any recommend any messenger/carrier bags ? I need something that carry my books and laptop around for college. I prefer not to carry a messenger bag and backpack at the same time.

 

I bought a few days ago the Targus "Especial Edition Urban"... but if you need something to carry your books you need something big. Maybe Targus Urban bag? its really big

 

While a messenger bag may look cool, it is not an ideal solution for carrying large amounts of stuff (e.g. books, laptop, etc.). If you will be walking for an extended period of time, then you will wish you had a backpack. I ride a bike everywhere, and I've learned this from experience. A well-designed messenger bag is good when you're riding, but if you have to walk more than five minutes with a heavy load, then it sucks.

If you still want a messenger bag, then I have a lot of recommendations for you. Can you be more specific in what you're looking for? Where do you live?

 

Well am looking for bag that i can put atleast 3 books in and also put all my books in my car and go back inbetween class's and get what need for those class's. I live in tn

 

I use a Crumpler bag(Barney Rustle Blanket) + either the STM Glove or Crumpler School Hymn to carry around my laptop and books. The Glove/Hymn are a sleeve that protects my laptop if I want to take it around in a separate bag.

 

Is that Tennessee?

I have a Crumpler camera bag that I really like, and I'm sure their larger bags are good too. If you want something a little less traditional, but more functional, then I recommend getting something from one of the many companies that make messenger bags for cyclists. Some of the better ones that I know of are Reload, Chrome, Under The Weather, and PAC bags, but they aren't the only companies that make quality messenger bags. This type of bag is good because it is weatherproof and very durable. Most of those companies also sell notebook inserts, but you could use anything really.

If you're looking for something more traditional, then you should check out Zappos, one of my favorite online retailers.

 

I <3 timbuk2 laptop messenger

 

yea thats Tennessee

 

Is the strap on that bag comfortable?

 

If you buy the $10 strap pad it is.

 

Do u guys think the bag well be enough protection for my mbp?

 

I second (or third it) the crumpler recomendation.

 

Another choice that I've read good things about is Tom Bihn.

 

Ok, thnks for all suggestions that helped out alot. I have picked the timbuk 2 bag.

 

I just received my 15.4" Belkin notebook bag. I am very hard to please but I must say that this has to be one of the best notebook bags ever! It looks great, has tons of compartments, and lots of cushioning to keep your notebook safe.

The OP it seems has already decided on his bag, but I just wanted to add my two cents. When I invested in my MBP 2.2GHz, I also invested in a Tom Bihn Brain Cell and the Tom Bihn Brain Bag backpack.

Although it was expensive, I have no regrets, and the customer service was excellent. In fact, they sent me the wrong Brain Cell and I only realized that till I got to Trinidad, and they sent me the correct one within a week of me emailing them, and told me whenever I get back in the US to send back the wrong one.
