These guys make a variety of bags for cameras, laptops, phones, etc. Weird website, but pretty good bags. They're an Australian company, I think. presumably they export to the U.S (where, I assume, you live ;-)

I've got a Tom Binh brain cell http://www.tombihn.com/page/001/PROD/300/TB0300

Its a minimalist messenger affair, and a crumpler new school hymn for when I need to bring more than the bare essentials -

http://www.crumpler.com.au/cartIndex.php?prodId=23 6&prodType=Bag&catId=5

Its just a sleeve, it fits in my messenger bag and my backpack... The thing about most bags is that they are jus bags, these two have a hard plastic shell along with the foam - real support and protection. The only real problem is the Crumpler will not fit a macbook, only the powerbooks, so now I have to wait for them to make a macbook sized case.

I you live in a city (New York esp) and commute by train or on foot - carrying a briefcase sucks and carrying a hard case, backpack or attache suck - they're too heavy. The Binh is light as a feather and the crumpler on its own is closer to a protective "coating" and is an ultimate "stealth" option. Both have saved my 15" PB on more occasions than I care to remember.

They're fashionable to the point that non-geeks use them for regular bags. Shit website though.

This subject has already been covered about a month ago here. Personally I've been using an older version of this bag for about 5 years. I've recently considered purchasing a Crumpler bag. I know they have several bags capable of carrying more than 1 laptop, or a camera and a laptop. Specifically, look for Brian's Hot Tub. Another user reported toting 3 laptops in this one!

I have to chime in on this one - I work for Crumpler and have known the Crumpler gang since they started making bags in a little shop in Melbourne, Australia.

The bags are amazingly tough, very well designed and will last for years. They come with a lifetime warranty and are available worldwide or you can order them from Crumpler Australia's website (new look last week) at www.crumpler.com.au.

As a plus, they look nothing like a laptop bag to a thief, and you can get backpacks, sling bags and padded computer inserts.

Hmmm... I'm starting to sound like advertainment...

Check out the bags from Crumpler - they're from Australia but they have stores all around the world. Simply the best bags you can get.

They started off doing bags for bicycle couriers and developed from there. Very strong, very well designed, pockets for everything and no dirty great "Hey, I've got a laptop in here so steal me!" logos and designs.

I have been using their "Crisp Suit" bag (look in the computer bags section) for over a year, including four weeks using it to carry two (yes, TWO) laptops around Asia while working in Korea, Thailand and Japan. The bag goes with me whenever I carry my laptop (read: almost every day) and I'm still in love with it.

Definitely worth finding the nearest Crumpler store / distributor and picking one up.
