I haven't seen a thread dedicated to backpacks or cases. Maybe there is one out there, not sure but I figured I'd post mine and maybe others will post theirs along in this thread.
I am trying to carry my 4x5 as much as possible. The idea is that one should always have their camera on them.
I had been using a naneupro u220 for a couple of years with digital/35mm/MF but the weight with a 4x5 is intolerable. It comes with a dedicated laptop sleeve and ample room but its a beast.
A couple pics from an unrelated webiste:

The weight of this thing unloaded is 7.15lbs
Today I went to my local MilSurp and found this:

It's a lightweight bag at only 2.9lbs!!! Not only that but the compartments feature a water repellent lining. It's comfortable and has plenty space for my camera, holders, and should hold at least 2 more lenses. I have 6 film holders in it right now. An incident and a spot meter. A Crown Graphic with a fujinon 125 which fits folded up. A couple cable releases and a couple odds and end.
Best part is it has straps underneath which are very suitable for carrying my tripod (Benbo). It also has a compartment for a hydration pack.
The whole thing is MOLLE compatible so you can add pouches if you need. It's built very well.
