What's the best bag for MacBook Pro?

I have been searching many different websites for the right bag, the websites that I have vistied this far are:

Booq Bags
Brenthaven bags
Crumpler bags
Swiss Wenger - Syenergy bag
Cargo combo mambo bag

Are there other websites that you would recommend me to look into? Let me know which one offers best protection and the best ease of stuffing some things in it as well.

I'm looking for a bag that can hold some books, water bottle, and of course, other electronic stuff for macbook pro. I hope to have external straps outside of the bag to hold stuff as well...such as booq Python bag.

Any insights or experience being shared would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! 🙂

MacBook Pro 15', Mac OS X (10.4.8)

This is likely NOT what you are looking for, but for others who wander in here that are looking for a stylish women's bag that doesn't look like a briefcase: I just got a MobileEdge Ultra Tote, and it is fantastic. I wanted a tote that was not ugly, that would go to work and that didn't look like a laptop was inside.
I am pretty picky, and was worried about it, having ordered online, but it's great. Doesn't have multiple pockets for cables, etc, but enough room for everything. I also throw a text or two in there, still closes.
I have the Booq vyper sleeve for my 15.4" mbp, and it fits perfectly in the padded cell. Well padded and secured, but I'm glad for my sleeve (I'm a chicken).
Great bag. Amazon had the best price when I bought.

My choice is the Brenthaven, smart design, tough and comfortable.

BTW, and this may seem self serving, but I upgraded to a 17" MBP in Aug. from a 15" PB and still have the 15" Brenthaven BP with removable sleeve, like new, if you're interested.

I cannot recommend a bag that you should buy, but I can recommend one that you should NOT buy for any reason. I purchased this bag with my laptop, becuase I loved the style, color, and functionality of this bag, but I was holding it by the hand strap, and it slipped from my hand, and bearly impacted the ground, and my MBP paid the price. It warped the case on the side and front, and broke the latch that grabs the hooks with the lid shuts. I fixed it all by taking the laptop apart, but dont make the same mistake I made. More pading the better. I made a 2,000 investment in this laptop, and a 70 dollar bag could have complete distroid it. All that having been said:
