It's expensive, but really nice, and very durable

It's from Brenthaven and is $179. You can always go to somewhere like Newegg (www.newegg.com) and do a search for 17" cases there as well.

Hey I got a 17" MBP and I went to stmbags.com they have some nice ones there.

I carry my MBP 17 in a Timbuk2 Track Day Pack. The bag is well made, fairly streamlined and compact, feels comfortable after wearing for several hours, and provides good protection with the MBP in its own compartment.

Timbuk2's website doesn't specifically mention the 17-inch MacBook Pro (I think they last updated the site when the 15 inch version came out), but a 17-incher fits fine with even some room to spare. I've been very happy with mine and I've tried many, many bags.

I just ordered a bag from Tom Bihn

In the black/crimson/steel along with the brain cell which can be used as a standalone bag for light duty.

They have a nice selection of stuff as well.

ChristoChang,

I swear by the Brenthaven Pro case. Yes, it's expensive, but it is designed to be the only bag you will need. It provides about the best protection money can buy for your laptop (go to the Brenthaven website and check out the design of the sleeve, etc.), but it goes far beyond that.

The Pro bags have pockets for just about any computing accessory you can think of, plus an "attache" pocket that serves very well as a "mobile office." I manage to fit my entire life into the bag, I carry it with me everywhere I go, and I feel safe tossing it around casually; no "babying" necessary.

p.s. The 17" bag does, in fact, fit the 17" Macbook Pro

I purchased the mezzi aluminum case and it matches my 17 inch perfectly. www.mezzi.com. Its black on the inside and scratch resistant on the outside. I took the mezzi name off the top and put my full name on it for identification purposes and I added the white apple to the outside. Whenever I go places with it (especially to the Apple Store) it gets the attention.

They have several to choose from; rolling cases, leather, extra slim and even one that looks like wood. The prices are more than reasonable and the quality is very good. I have had mine for several years and I have beat it up terribly but it still looks quite new and appealing.

I was trying to attach pictures but I don't think it is possible on this forum.

Good luck
