What brands do you guys use to carry your laptops?

I'm in the market for a backpack to transport my laptop in, but i have no idea where to even start. Please help!
Thanks!

These are the best but pricey. You can even get the chicane that gives you a speed hump.

I got a Targus, although I forgot where I got it. From a Best Buy/Circuit City type of store.

Now much protection for the laptop if I do go down, though...

i just picked up a targus from best buy. it was like 70 bucks, and worth every penny.. but gives zero protection to the laptop if i go down.

I also have a Targus backpack. Actually, I think mine has a fair amount of protection. In addition, the part of the backpack that is against my back is padded so much that I think it actually acts as a spine protector.

Here's a link to the one I have. I can't remember where, but I got it online.

My only gripe is that one of the plastic clips broke, but it still works fine.

I just bought on of these: Boblbee Megalopolis (Executive Phantom).

I had a Targus before and the Boblbee is extremly comfortable and they offer more accesories than you'll ever need. It's a bit pricey, but I got an awesome discount when I visted one of their custom retail shops.

It only holds laptops up to 15" though, but they do offer a couple of different size packs.

Savier makes some pretty good backpacks. Tom Bihn also makes some really good stuff. http://www.tombihn.com/

and i noticed there are few that hold 17" laptops

unfortunately mine is a 17" powerbook =[

Thanks for the sources tho! I'll have to keep looking...
