I work in a warehouse and pack things for transit on trucks and planes every day.
My standard method is:
something soft [bubble wrap, soft foam etc], then something hard [plastic case or thick cardboard etc] and repeat if the item is extra fragile. For a netbook or similar I would probably have a waterproof layer in there somewhere as well.
Having said that, I travelled Brisbane to Darwin and back with a laptop in the bag on the back of my Harley, just shoved in there amongst the clothes etc and it survived...
