I used to wrap my D90 in a sweatshirt or a t-shirt before nestling it in a backpack or shoulder bag. It was a little tiresome at times (unwrapping and rewrapping my camera all the time) so I began using a second-hand Coastar shoulder bag.

It holds my D90 with the 18-105 lens. Plenty of space, a side pouch for flash cards, notebook, etc. There are two separators in the main pouch. This way I can hold extra pieces of equipment (flashes, lenses...) without having them hitting the camera when I move around.

Though it works with the kit lens, longer ones like the 70-300 don't fit. My Dakine backpack is still used from time to time

I can't seem to find any info about the company online. Does Coastar still exist? In any case, my bag is sturdy, spacious yet not too big and even stylish

Same story here, and I sometimes put it on the ground. Camera gear is built to resist, and I couldn't care less about scratches (as long as they are cosmetic). Scratches on the screen or lens are more worrisome.

+1 for school backpack for everyday photography.

For when I'm carrying tons of equipment I take my ThinkTank Photo Streetwalker Pro.

Here is my D90 in a Lowepro Fastpack 350. No battery grip but it does have the tripod mount attached. You get an idea how much space you have. I did consider the Kata 3N1 but couldn't justify the price difference between it and the Lowepro.

Im using the Fastpack 250 for my D90 with 18-105 lens and it is great. only downside is there is not a lot of room in the top compartment (the one above the camera pocket) which i am used to frommy regular packpack.
Otherwise its awesome and i'm learning to manage with the limited space i have.

Best thing to do is bring your camera to a camera store and test it in the bags they have there for the best fit.

For my long haul trips I use a Compuprimus. It's big and really tough. Problem is, it doesn't hold that much space compared to other bags. In fact, I have many difficulties pulling my d300s using the lateral pocket, so a d90 with grip is a no-go.
Fastpacks seem like the most reasonable solution for you. For me they didn't cut it, as they're not rugged enough and they don't have a tripod holder.

And fastpacks miss the all weather cover Which is truly missed when I sat in 8 hours of continuous rain near the race track

Lowepro Nova 200 AW filled with Nikon D90 + MB-D80
18-70 DX, 70-300 VR, 35 1.8 DX, SB-700

I'm using a Lowepro Nova 3 AW. It's not sold anymore (as far as I know), but the closest sibling would be the Nova AW 170 or 180.

As you can see, it perfectly fits my D90 (in this case with the AF-S 60mm macro attatched), my AF-S 35mm F/1,8 and 55-200 VR + a SB-600 flash and charger, spare battery, memory cards etc... All in a not to heavy package. It's small enough to bring with you on assignments, such as weddings, yet big enough to contain most you'll ever need for a single shoot/project. (Unfortunatly I had to use a lousy compact Ixus for this shot, my apologies... )

I'm using the Lowepro Slingshot 200W, my camera is a bit smaller than yours, let alone without the grip, but I assure you there's more than enough space for a D90+grip in there.

I am using a Kata DR467 and carry around my D90 with battery grip and the 18-55mm mounted, Sb-600, and a 70-300mm. Along with that I usually have my laptop and a notebook or two and maybe a text book. Works great for me!

I'm using Lowepro Fastpack 250.
I did look at Lowepro CompuRover AW but it's just too expensive
