My Mac Plus carrying case is from a company called ComputerAid. (No other
id is on the case, and I ordered through a distributor.) It cost about $60-70
and has passed several tests:
1. It itself is light
2. It's reinforced cardboard on the sides; lightweight, but fairly rugged.
3. It's not an ugly color
4. It fits perfectly under any airplane seat -- including (get this) those
horrible Stretch 727's where the seat space is virtually nil (caveat:
it fits under the middle or right seats on the right side, and vice versa, not
under the aisle seats.) In other planes there's plenty of room.
Number 4 should be true of any case, but is a definite consideration
for my thousands of miles per year, and Apple Co. itself, when called,
declared itself unaware of whether it would actually fit under an airplane
seat (the Mac Plus that is. True story).
