I have two Ogio Sport backpacks. Both were give-aways from my employer. The first one did not have a pocket, so I got a neoprene sleeve to put the machine in. I used tha for about a year. The next bag was purpose-made with a pocket for a laptop. It's the one I still use. I think backpacks are awesome for carrying machines. It distributes the weight better, and as someone pointed out, it's probably less likely to get lifted because ti doesn't look like a computer bag.
