Mike,

I can't recommend the Apple Carrying Case (not the Briefcase), as I tried
three (!) through mail order and all three had a problem with the strap
attachmnent. In fact, it failed and I dropped my PowerBook, breaking a
foot. Thank God only the foot! 

I have a Kensington, which, while not particularly pretty, seems pretty
solid. They now have a smaller model which I haven't seen, but is 
apparently just big enough for the PowerBook itself, then the model I
have which also holds ext. floppy and batteries, etc. and then a big
briefcase. 

Murray
