I've thought about this further and I've actually gone for one of these - The brown and black version with gray piping.

Great, hope you like it!

Give us some feedback once you've road tested it.

Appreciate you've already got a bag however I just wanted to stick up for the STM bags in case someone finds this thread in the future. I've had one for 3 years and it still looks good as new, very tough and well constructed bags.

I know you have already bought a bag but I thought I'd add my 2p - I've just bought a Crumpler "The Bernie" for my Macbook 13" and it's great. It's designed for up to 17" notebooks but I keep my Macbook inside a slipcase so it fits perfectly, plenty of room for PSU, mp3 player and a book or two

I looked at Crumplers but they're just so expensive - I don't know about that particular model but they all seemed well out of my budget.

Well annoyingly the company I ordered from emailed me this morning to tell me it's out of stock. I'm back hunting for that particular colour combination again, it seems difficult to find.

If you do a search for "Crumpler The Barney" (spelled Barnie on the inside of the bag though) - they come in a number of colours and are only £60

If you really wanted to you could pick one up today from a real shop - same price as all the other online stores.

Edit: It also has a handle on the back so you don't need to carry it on your shoulder all the time.

I'm a bit knackered now, I have a limited amount of cash on the card I use for this sort of thing. The company I ordered from have refunded me but it'll take a few days to get back on the card. It came off instantly as soon as I ordered, shame it doesn't work the same both ways.

So now I can't be doing anything until the refund comes through. Bah.

My vote would go to the TechAir bags. I have this one and it's great. It even comes with free tracking if your laptop is stolen.

I use a crumpler super boomer for my 15" mbp and it fits nicely. I would class it as a budget crumpler bag (I have two others I use for different bigger laptops) but its still a nice bag, have a look around you can get it for around 30 quid..

I think the 'silver dig' is in the same category shouldnt pay more than about 35 for it..

We've got those Pakumas at work, look quite nice. Same colours as the picture posted.
