15" AlBook Case
I'm looking for a case for my PowrBook. I don't want anything big with millions of pouches or anything. I was hoping for something not ass ugly...so probably not grey or black, but maybe if it looks good. I also think it would be better to have a handle instead of acting like a giant purse.
So...
Simple
Good looking
Brief case like (maybe?)
Any suggestions?

Fairly inexpensive (just $40), simple and elegant looking, made of neoprene which is shock-absorbant and water resistant. PowerBook Central gave it a favorable review.

Can anyone tell me if it fits the PBook 15"? This bag look just what I'm looking for. If it doesn't I will go with the Marware bag. Hoping my 15" would fit in the Crumpler though as I like the looks better.

Ok you confused me with ML. Large or Extra Large is all I see.
Crumpler:
? Size: 13" x 10" x 1.5"
? Fits laptops up to: 13" x 11" x 1.5"
Powerbook 15":
Size and weight (15-inch models)
Height: 1.1 inches (2.8 cm)
Width: 13.7 inches (34.8 cm)
Depth: 9.5 inches (24.1 cm)
The width may be a tad too much just taking the dimensions as listed, not sure how much the crumpler could extend sideways (if any).
I noticed that but luckily they make larger sizes. I think their Large will do perfectly.
I actually chose this over the Marware because of looks. I think the Marware would offer more protection but I don't think I'll need all of that and the Marware bag didn't look as good. One thing that bothered me is how the shoulder strap connected, it had that cheap plastic look. The Crumpler bags look very good and hopefull connect better. I guess design shouldn't be as important as function but if I can balance the two I'll do it, and I think Crumpler does that.
Just look how they describe their material at ebags.com...
And because it's twice as tough as regular nylon, 3X tougher than polyester, 4X tougher than polypropylene, 14X tougher than cotton and 600X tougher than that skinny bit in the bottom portion of your underwear.

I've thought about this too, but I've got a backpack already that I really like, so I'm just going to buy one of those MacCase sleeves and stick it into my backpack.
Yeah I thought about getting a backpack style but as we are not allowed to carry them around in school and I don't want something that big to take around with me all the time. I just wanted something simple to hold my computer, mouse, poweradapter, and maybe eventually extra battery.
