What bag is everyone using for their Apple Portable?

Thread Starter 
I have a 12" Powerbook G4.

I'm considering a breifcase style bag for my Powerbook.
I'm wanting to use it for work and other miscellaneous adventures around Washington, D.C.

I'm looking at the Tom Bihn Empire Builder:

I'm on the verge of getting it as i have not found anything that I like better.

I already own the Buzz:

Which works great for the 12" and has been a great bag.

I'm looking for something that looks professional without being super dull
and just like everyone else's bag.

I'm wondering what everyone uses for their Apple portable.
I have looked at a lot of brands for bags and such, but I'm wondering
what the actual Apple users are using to tote their laptop around.

I'm using a caselogic bag. About 50 bucks and has good containment and padding, as well as plenty of extra pockets. So far no complaints.

I have a Crumpler Bag which is very sturdy, has lots of pocket space and a nicely padded computer compartment. Bought it from eBags.com for a nice discounted price.

I'm using a Jansport Elefunk for my laptop and gear. It's not the GREATEST bag in the world, but certainly not the worst. I'm just not crazy about its strap system (sewn in) and lack of a handle.

I've lined the interior of it with sections of this cushioned sleeping mat that some people use when they camp out. Provides great cushioning, both for my stuff and on my back. Inside of it, I carry a 15" Powerbook in a Shinza sleeve. I can and often also throw in a spindle of discs, a few different power adapters, an external harddrive, a mouse, various small tools in the front compartment, a Nikon d70s with an 18-70 lens attached, a 50mm lens, with room for another lens inside of it, plus a notebook and folder inside the main compartment. The outer flap is nice because it holds all of my quick items and various paper items I run into during the day.

Not the most professional looking bag, but it can certainly carry most if not all of your gear when needed. I could maybe even fit an older 35mm body and lens inside of it if I was in a bind, but usually keep that in a carry-along bag.
