Any recommendations? Either a backpack or a messenger bag with good protection and preferably some extra pockets for my mouse, charger,  maybe some books....

I have a Tom Bihn case for my Macbook pro (15.4) and I am super impressed with the quality.  It gives me confidence that my computer could take a hit or small drop and survive which is important because I am hard on my stuff and I travel to and from uni with it everyday.  Some dude rolled a truck with his laptop in one of these (I have the brain cell) and when he got the laptop in the hospital it still worked (It was on the user comments on their website) Tom Bihn drops an egg in it to and its fine.  Look them up there are lots of reviews of them.
