[quote author=“Chris687”]i checked the prices of the waterfield and they are like a $130 and the tumi is $195 and that is not half price to me.

The brenthaven is though.  You can get it on sale for only $89 includes shipping and no tax.

Right now I think the Brenthaven has the best bang for the buck.

The waterfield quality also looks flemsy to me compared to the brethhaven.  Which I want a case I don’t have to worry about my gear getting damage.

In the UK the Tumi bag is a lot more expensive that $195, I think I was quoted the equivalent of $350 by their London store so the Waterfield bag was cheaper for me. I wanted a bag quickly and I trusted Waterfield to make that happen and they did.

I’ve got a Brenthaven backpack and a Waterfield racerX and I would say the construction quality is roughly equivalent so maybe the Brenthaven would be your best bet. I haven’t had the Waterfield for very long so maybe it will disintegrate, who knows? I like living near the edge.

Thanks for your input.  I actually found a interm use case for $4 that I’m going to a mini review of later.  I am sure the Waterfield bags are nice.  I checked out there website and couldn’t find one that looked business enough.

I had the chance to check one out a comp-usa.  I really like the design, quality, size.  I am just wondering if it is going to be practical in my type of profession.  I need to be able to stick legal size document inside.  I don’t think its goin to happen.

I probably just get it for going out for fun and not for business.

I finally broke down and bought the Brenthaven Pro 12.  Which is designed for the powerbook 12”

It fits the TR perfectly and I think the design is a little kewler than the glove….

Anyway, I’ll write a review a bit later after I get aquanted with it.

BTW, I purchased it for $99 at Comp USA
