Best laptop case

[ManBearPig]

I dont know where to get a good 17" laptop case for a low price...any ideas? ive checked frys but im not sure what is good and what is not good...are sleeves sufficient? id rather have a case than a backpack but not sure.

sorry i didnt put it in general hardware/notebooks. this is kinda more general since its about a case/bag/accessory, and some bags double as laptop cases, etc.

thanks guys

I was going to suggest you check out TUMI bags: http://www.tumi.com/business-and-laptop/
but then I noticed you wanted one for a low price...

I have this one. It's really good. Nice firm padding all around and a mesh sleeve on the outside. I dont use it so much sine I have a timbuk2 bag w/ a laptop slot built in, but if you are using a backpack, this will product your laptop from anything inside.

Depends on your personal needs; I carry a messenger bag on a daily basis, but I only need my lappy on a few days a week, so I bought a sleeve for "her."

id only take it around every once in a while, maybe 1-3 times a week, it just seems like the sleeve is kinda tiny and not very protective lol

I bought this one about 3 years ago:

Very well made, excellent protection for my laptop, lots of room for extras.

It's NOT cheap, but I wanted quality not low price.

IIRC, Costco sells some decent quality laptop cases.
