There are an increasing number of Mac tote bags on the market. Among them are:

Apple's own
ATS Cases carrying case (also, shipping case available)
Basket Case, from Justin Case
MacPak and MacBag, from MacPacks (also, MacFreighter shipping case)
MacTote, from Optimum Computer Luggage
Scottie MacCase, from The CaseMaker
Totem Pack, from Braun-Cooper

Some of them are hard-shell cases (ATS, BasketCase, Scottie). Some of them
don't explicitly claim to provide room for an extra disk drive (ATS, Basket
Case, others?). As an alternative to the shoulder strap, some of them come in
backpack versions (MacPak, Totem Pack). A PrintPak can also be obtained to
carry the Imagewriter beneath the MacPak when backpacking (unwieldly?).

Does anyone have any insights into the relative merits of these cases and/or
their features?
