Briefcases, Bags, and the Murse

I actually like the Brain Backpack a lot and will have a hard time not buying it. I love the RedOxx stuff but I picked RO the first time because it was the function over form solution to what I wanted (but still looked good to me). I think case, right now, the Bihn seems like both for what I'm looking for. I wish their factory store in Seattle had better hours so I could go over and find a laptop sleeve or case that might fit in the Backpack but they have really limited hours from what is posted online.

The Brain Backpack is awesome and will hold a lot. It is also really rugged. I bought one a while back but it was just too big for my small frame. I would definitely recommend this. I know there are people who love the tough RedOxx stuff and I tried to (love them) but I just think the Tom Bihn stuff is much more thought out and I keep going back. I would suggest something like SuperEgo if you want to go with a one strap bag but with a large laptop, I personally would go with a backpack.

... and saffron's mad about me ...

 

back to topic - Nate, I throw a 15" MBP in the outside pocket of my Sky Train all the time - just need to be mindful that external padding is nil.  Very comfy as a carry or as back pack.  As to missing pockets, I usually have the Gator along with me, and that sucke up all the bits and pieces that accumulate along the way.

Time to pick up yet another bag for the train commute.  Mostly iPad and some little stuff.  The Coach leather bag lasted 6 months before needing to go in for service for shoddy work and the Tumi bag has pretty much fallen apart but I haven't bothered getting it serviced.

 

Anyone have recommendations for a nice leather bag that have impressed the Briefcase/bags and the murse devotees?

Nice additions Al.  I was looking to buy my first Tom Bihn thing, a strap, but the shipping is so stupid I couldn't bring myself to by a 30 dollar strap and pay a third of the purchase price again for ground shipping.

I am contemplating one of their bags but I think I would miss additional pockets,etc. that Saddleback seems very limited on. There is some compartmentation in the main area but no place else to shove little things I need quick access to like I have in most of my bags.
