Advice - laptop travelling & keyboard/mouse home setup

[emotional]

Hi,

I'm finding myself travelling more and more with my laptop these days, whether that be to college or visiting others using the train/business. Does anybody have any recommendations for a laptop bag/case that will protect it if it were to be dropped (obviously to some extent) and something that feels "bulky" - by that I mean, if it doesn't look like it will look after the laptop I don't want to know, this machine cost an awful lot.

Second, I use my laptop on a docking station (something like this (http://shop.ebl.com/osc/images/hp_advanced_docking.jpg)) at home on my desk. The station is a good two foot away from me so clearly I can't use the laptop to type. I have a wireless Microsoft keyboard and mouse, however it's starting to become outdated now and I'm well due an update. Does anybody have recommendations for a comfortable wireless keyboard and mouse setup?

Thanks so much! :)

What is the size of your Laptop,
I would recomend THIS (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=013) mouse and THIS (http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mouseandkeyboard/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=109) keyboard this is what I currently have and they work and feel very good with me, they are on the pricey side, but much worth it.

My laptop is 17.6''.

Thanks for the recommendation. I have the model set before that, and this one has been fine, so I'll take a look at some more reviews. :)
