    For a tenner, I'd doubt it would be much good. Although they could be on offer or using it to get people into the place.

    Your paying €10 for a bag , I mean come on how bloody great do you think it'll be?!
    I would only buy a bag where I knew if I dropped it its going to offer some protection for the laptop inside, I doubt the €10 one will give much protection but I could be wrong.

    Aye, if you value your laptop, i'd get a decent one. The one i have i think cost €60... But i could throw my laptop around the palce in it and it would be fine!

    I decided to get a protective sleeve for the laptop, and then a run-of-the-mill messenger bag.

    The protective sleeve I got was cheap so probably not the best (was from Dealextreme), but it seems decent enough to protect it from normal knocks, from scratches and anything small that might find its way into the fan grates etc. (the material is like a wet suit).

    There are others out there which are probably waterproof and somewhat shock resistant (I think these are)... then if you get a padded or waterproof messenger bag you have extra protection!

    As displayed by Dulpit, although you could use any type of bag tbh - backpack, briefcase etc.

    Only limitation is finding one your laptop fits into!
