Which Booq bag fits the MBP? Find out here.

I've spent an extraordinary amount of time trying to find just the ideal bag for my MacBook Pro. There are many PowerBook bags out there, and many product sites indicated that this or that bag will work well with the MBP. I finally decided the what I wanted was:

the <a href"http://www.booqbags.com/Search.bok?category=sleeves&keyword=powersleeve">B ooq PowerSleeve

...but which? A handful of them indicate that they work well with the MacBook Pro, but they are of different sizes. Some are new and some are discontinued, but still listed on the site.

I called Booq and inquired into this. I wanted to post what I found as far as which vertically oriented bag (this orientation just makes sense) is the most exact fit for the MacBook Pro. The helpful young woman on the phone was able to immediately indicate which I needed, having told her what I was looking for. The answer:

The PowerSleeve XM is apparently an exact-fit bag. No extra space in the laptop compartment - it's a very close fit.

I wanted to post that for anyone pondering the same question. I'll give a report once the bag arrives. Ordered it yesterday.

I ordered a Powersleeve M ( http://www.booqbags.com/Detail.bok?no=539 )and received it a few days ago. It was listed as discontinued on the Booq site but on Monday April 3 they still had stock. It fits perfectly. Just like the photos Peter linked to in this thread ( http://web.mac.com/petergrether/iWeb/Site/Booq%20Bag.html ). Exactly what I was looking for.
PS: The site now shows "in stock" for this model.
