Cool laptop case?

I'm getting my 15.4" lcd laptop today and need a good case that'll protect it while also looking fashionable enough to carry to work nearly every day. Something that looks like a standard messenger bag would be great (either canvas/polyester or suede) that still leaves room for my ipod and some personal belongings (pens, paper, etc.) as well.

Any leads? I don't really have a budget but I don't want it to scream "LAPTOP" (I ride the subway) and I dont' want it to look dorky (I need a girlfriend 😉 ). Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah, not looking forward to carrying 7+ pounds on my shoulder! Sigh.

Any other suggestions for brands?

I've got a 15.4" laptop, and carrying it around is not a problem at all, then again it's just about 5.5 lbs.

As for a bag, just go out to the store and take a look at your options.. and pick one that suits your needs best.

Kensington Contour is nice. You'll need the slightly larger Contour for a 15.4", but you can see a review of the regular Contour at the website in my sig

Booq makes some cool stuff, but expensive.
 
I wish it were acceptable to wear a backpack instead of carrying all that weight on your shoulders, it can get really tiring after five minutes of walking around with it.
 
I got a nice American Tourister one at Staples for $25. Also, JC Penney has a nice messenger bag style one by Protocol for regular $40, but on sale for up to half price at different times.
