Best way to carry MBP

Hello, Im a student and do frequent traveling between classes and my school and home. The last time I traveled with my MBP (with it inside a softskin case) I had a book in my backpack with it and it looks as though my MBP bent somehow in the middle bottom of the notebook, and the display seems bent in the middle (just a tad bit off from normal). I was wondering what the best way is to carry this delicate notebook so that nothing else happes to it. I need this to last me at least 3 more years. (and i just bought it 2 weeks ago so im freaking out)

How do others carry the MBP, and should I be worried about the deformations? even if they are very very small?
