If you're "squashing" the camera on the hot shoe and base plate, you're probably fine. Especially given that your backpack probably won't be able to fit that much stuff besides the camera cube and your laptop.
Just keep weight off the lens/lens mount. It will be a lever and you don't want to tweak anything.
Yes that's what would happen. My backpack is surprisingly roomy though, it would fit a couple more things actually. But the lens and mount should be absolutely fine the way it sits in the case, no pressure at all there. So I think/hope you're right and will give it a try. Thanks! :)
It's great that you're trying to carry your camera more often, presumably so you can use it. The only thing to keep in mind is that a buried camera will be hard to get your hands on. It might be worth considering a multi-chamber backpack at some point in the future.
Examples include Lowpro's fast pack and a whole bunch of Amazon brands.
That is a good point, thanks. I do have a similar backpack but it's much smaller than my other one and has more room reserved for the camera than I would need. I think I will alternate between my default backpack with the hard shell case and the multi-chamber one for a while and see what works best.
The perfect bag can be a never-ending quest. Good luck!
