If you can afford a proper bad defintiely go for one. I had one a few years back but sold it when I sold the computer. I've used an over-the-shoulder bag since then and it's definitely not as safe for the computer. Have to be a lot more careful when carrying it around. There's really no padding at all.
The padding is much needed not just if you drop the thing but also if you run into something.
