    I usually use a brown paper bag with staples and scotch tape.

    LMAO. not sure why I found htat so funny... but I did.

    I don't use one. I bought a Slappa backpack. I wouldn't mind getting a sleeve someday though.

    One of the sleeves/cases that appealed to me was the Booq Viper XS2 for the MacBook:

    I'll be ordering a Crumpler School Hymn for my MBP this week. I don't think the have one for the MacBook yet, but I am sure they will soon. I'll let you know how it is when I get it.

    I wanted the booqbag but it seems much too bulky. It will take up more room than my textbooks.

    I don't use a sleeve currently, just the invisible shield and my bag. But if I need to, I use a 13" vaio sleeve. It is the same material as the psp's sleeve.

    Those booqbags are freaking sweet. Too bad their so pricey. I mean, I paid $60 for my Slappa backpack... I just can't see paying $160+ for a packpack or about $60 for just the sleep.

    Yeah, the booq bags are definitely expensive, but I almost think they might be worth it given the quality of the construction and protection and features - and I also really like the overall style, etc.

    yeah, i have to agree with you on that.. but after spending 2000+ on a notebook, I can't afford an exceptionally expensive backpack.

    I like my Maxxum Wegner Swiss Army Backpack.

    Pretty roomy.

    To the thread starter: do a search for this and limit the results to the Apple portion of this forum only, you should find many threads on this.
