Can anyone recommend a case that will protect my laptop as I carry it around in my panniers or top box? I have a neoprene sleeve and that is fine to use in back pack but doesn't look anything like sturdy enough for jolting around in a pannier.
Laptop case for use in panniers/top box

Yes ... I got one from Kriega on their internet site .. About £20 last year ... A bit big for my iPad so I fill it out with chargers and glasses etc ...but clearly made for your laptop size and strangely enough it's a perfect fit straight into the BM top box .. A very good bit of kit indeed.
I use a Crumpler Slim Laptop bag and use a neoprene sleeve for the laptop when I put it in a pannier.
Crumpler do a whole range of stuff, which isn't cheap but is good.

I use a Navitech bag which is nicely padded yet slim fitting. The price belies the quality which is really rather good.

I also have a clear clip on Speck cover - a friend had his Macbook in one of these in his rucksack when he threw his bike down the road at 70+, only damage was the edge of the cover ground away. He used the Macbook to contact his insurance whilst waiting for the Police/Ambulance

EDIT: Having said that my laptop always goes in a rucksack, I wouldn't trust a pannier/top box due to vibration and shock...............

Tom Bihn Brain Cell. Has a pouch on the side for power adapter, will protect your lappy from any rough treatment. I've owned one, along with 2 Tom Bihn rucksacks, for a few years. Great customer service and products.

When I was a wage slave and the Company provided me with a laptop I just used a normal backpack and stuffed the backpack and laptop into a 46L top box, never had a problem. The size of the Vario box, and the fact that it's now my own computer, means I need a more customised solution. Thanks for the suggestions. I have Speck case for my iPad and I'm very happy with it, apart from the skinny piece of elastic that secures the top cover, though it hasn't broken yet.

It seems a bit on the big side to fit into a Vario top box.

I use techair bags. One I use daily carries a 10" net book or iPad plus a folder full of documents and loads of other bits and pieces.
They do various sizes to suit.
Definitely recommended.

I have been using a crumpler bag for about 5 years, it's excellent and fits nicely - it has an inner sleeve for laptop - takes a 13" laptop nicely. Pretty pricey but wearing very well.
