What's your favorite carry bag for the iPad and stuff?

iPF Noob
I'm using my iPad 2 a lot at work, and putting it, the power cable, some files and such into a big backpack isn't working for me. What's everybody using that will carry the iPad, power cable, a stylus or two, and some papers that isn't bulky, doesn't look like a purse (nothing against purses, but as a male, I prefer to prevent ribbing from co-workers), and is functional?

I've been looking at different items for the past couple of hours, but nothing pops out at me yet. Prefer to keep cost under $40 if possible. Thoughts, recommendations? Thanks!
 
Although not a male, I would recommend the Tucano Work Out bag. Mine's a fetching shade of purple just like the iPF colour scheme but they also do more manly colours like...er.....black. It's nicely padded and has a full length storage pocket that will take a bluetooth keyboard as well as plenty of room for charger and you could squeeze a small document in there if needed.

I also quite liked the vertical version and that might be more masculine (although they do the bag in a nice fuscia).

I have this one ScanFast Ultra Portable / Netbook Messenger Bag - TSA Approved / Compliant - Airport Security Checkpoint Friendly | Mobile Edge They don't show the second zipper compartment opned but that's where the ipad goes. I have a Griffin survivor case on my ipad and it fits in there perfectly. Here are 2 pics I took with my phone, sorry about the quality.

I went back to a Swiss Gear Netbook bag to carry the ipad2 and it accessories around in a daypack .Since i'm traveling for work i just drop into the backpack i use for carrying my cloth's and other items back and forth to work in the remote area's and it work like a champ for it basic use of carrying the ipad2 around
 
Hi, one of my favorite bag is Briggs & Riley Verb Computer Back Pack which I use for my i-pad and macbook. This bag is light-weight, water repellant and also has tech sections with two elastic pockets for cables/cords, slip pocket and two flap pockets which is padded comes with ergonomically contoured backpack straps with thumb rest loops. It helps me to keep all my extra accessories along with my gadgets which makes my traveling easy and would recommend the same.
 
I use a Lacoste Camera Bag, it holds my iPad 2 quite nicely even if I have my dslr and a few othe accessories with me. Most of the time though its the iPad 2 and my MacBook Air along with some paperwork that's inside.

Don't want to bring down the tone of this thread, but I use what I call my "flush bag." It is one I resurrected from somewhere in the house where it had been tossed. It advertizes low flush toilets, recycling, and other eco-concious things. Wrinkled and a little soiled.

My reason? When I leave my iPad, my nook reader, styli, etc in the car they are in my flush bag. I doubt if any theif would be tempted!

On the other hand, one might break into your car only to rip off some of the gorgeous totes I've seen here!
 
Thanks for all the input and ideas. Ended up going with el cheapo Case Logic bag for $19 off Amazon that has hundreds of great reviews. Works fine, gray and black in color, fits everything I need in there, and has protecion. I won't make heads turn carrying it around (in envy or disgust), and it's cheap enough to work for me until I find something more permanent.
 
I use a customized Timbuk2 messenger, and they offer bags in a number of designs and sizes to fit individual needs. They're not cheap, but they are great products to own and use (and deceptively hold a lot more than you think.)
