Do you perhaps mean a Retina 15" or a pre-Retina 17"? As far as I know the 17" models were dropped when the Retina line came out.

I should have added that in any event, I highly recommend Brenthaven <http://www.brenthaven.com/ >, as someone else in this thread did. Their bags are very well designed and nearly indestructible. They have lots of pouches and other storage areas, and their handles--a crucial factor--are the most comfortable I have tried. (Of course a wheeled case would be even more comfortable.)
My current Brenthaven briefcase-style bag, which is no longer offered, was made for a 15" MacBook Pro, but I have managed to stuff a 17" into it with no problem for several years. (I think this is the current replacement <http://www.brenthaven.com/broadmore/messenger-bag >.) The only drawback is that the 17" Macbook Pro is relatively heavy to lug around, and even more so when you fill the bag with other gear. Also, my particular bag, which was the largest they made at the time, doesn't quite fit under some airplane aisle seats, so you have to put it in the overhead bin or talk one of the middle- or window-seat passengers into letting you put it under the seat in front of them. This has been only mildly inconvenient for me though.

Here are some to have a look at:
Empire Builder

SportFolio Deluxe
http://www.marware.
Matias Laptop Armor
http://matias.
Passes the "10 foot fall onto concrete test."
Tom Bihn Checkpoint Flyer. Awesome and a breeze through TSA.

Thank you everyone. I will report back Monday morning with my final
candidate yeah I probably have a 15" MacBook Retina Pro. I will report back
on model number and what case I am debating between with your folks
excellent advise.
I may not report back about case research this weekend I am clearing out a
HUGE basement into two 10 x 30 ft storage bins and scrubbing a concrete
floor with a hose and huge broom and the floor is dusty, dirty and damp.
The basement floor has not been scrubbed since 1946 and past attempts to
sweep or wet dry vac it even with sweeping compound for a few hours leaves
me coughing for days even if done with a mask. So that big project will
take up most of my weekend then I can worry about Mac case Sunday night and
Monday night.
Your inputs will give me a huge headstart. Very useful and thoughtful
links! Thannnnnks and send any more anyone else thinks of.

Hi! I found the problem that was causing my 27" iMac's sleep mode to delay.
The original problem was one which occurred overnight, and the sleep mode
took about 40 seconds to complete, while the shut down worked as it should.
Eventually, I found the problem here:
Home>Library>Prefs>com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
I deleted that plist
restarted
The sleep problem has not occured for the past two weeks since discovering
this.
So it took me 3 months to find, but I eventually did discover it. Perhaps
others with a similar problem might be interested.
Persistently,
Donna
