   I bought this suitcase to replace my red soft sided Samsonite. I wanted to try out a hard sided case, and I researched hard sided cases thoroughly, along with the newer soft sided ones just to compare. I didn’t see anything superior with soft sided, although I do have a newer 20” purple TravelPro that I adore. Ultimately I was between this one, the Amazon basics hardside, Delsey Chatelet, and Samsonite Omni PC and Winfield 2. This one was rated in most top 5’s. The suitcase rated best on most lists was the hardside models from the company Away, but they are above my price range. I also read the reviews here on Amazon. The Omni PC and Winfield are both beautiful, but the Omni has an inferior plastic top handle that breaks easily, and the Winfield’s glossy case seems to scratch easily. I ultimately decided on this one due to color and pricing. The Amazon basics suitcase is rated well for the price, but unfortunately I really don’t like the looks of it. The Delsey Chatelet is gorgeous, but has limited color choices and is slightly pricier. I also considered the Delsey Paris Helium Air and TravelPro Maxlite Air, which are great looking, but both were not rated well, mostly for sturdiness issues.

   I loved this suitcase when it came! I like that the shell is matte, and shouldn’t scratch, and the whole shell is sturdy, has lots of pockets and we’ll working zippers, expands, and has a TSA lock. Empty it was very light and the wheels maneuvered easily and seemed sturdy. Packing this thing is awesome to me in comparison to my soft shells. It does need to open completely flat to access both sides, but I didn’t mind that at all throughout my trip. It’s so easy with the two sides – I put clothing in packing cubes in one side, and care case and all other items in the other half. One half zips close completely with a material cover, and the other has the standard suitcase clips. It also has a few different pockets. I was able to fit everything I needed with ease for a 7-day trip. It doesn’t flex quite as much as a soft shell, but I actually found that to be an advantage – it doesn’t allow you to overpack.

   I checked this suitcase round trip on a weeklong trip to Florida, and it held up beautifully. I didn’t notice any damage to the case, and it’s so light and easy to maneuver. It rolled with ease in the airport and out on the street. It goes up curbs without a hitch, and is easy on escalators. It has a sturdy handle on top and on the side. Zippers are holding up great so far. I can’t see myself buying another soft sided suitcase if this holds up for awhile. I love it!! The only thing I can’t rate it on is longevity, as I’ve only taken it on one trip. I’d like to say “I’ll update if this review changes, but we all know that won’t happen!” 🙂

   I’ve never actually owned a Samsonite suitcase because they’re always so expensive but over Black Friday weekend this one on sale and ordered it. I just got to use the suitcase for the first time and I had a great experience with it. First of all when standing the suitcase, wheels around amazing and not only does a wheel in every direction, but the wheels feel just that much dirtier than traditional suitcases, making it a breeze to wheel around. But in addition to that, the suitcase itself is really nice and sturdy while also being lightweight and it just made the airport experience so good and I knew that I was able to rest assure that I didn’t have to worry about the suitcase, coming out cracked, which sometimes happens with hard shell suitcases, but not this one.

   I typically do not write a review but needed to.
   This suit case survived going up a dirt hill(trees and rocks along the way) being bulked up with clothes, wines, etc.
   Yes, it has the wear after it’s travel, but it is still whole after all of that. Impressive.

   Great size, durable, expandable. Very good quality for the price point- and it will be well tested for sturdiness.
   Like the expandable feature, as this is a hard cover case.

   I was planning a 4-week trip to Scotland and needed a case that fit the airline specs, but held as much as possible. I tried out a lot of different carry-ons and decided on this one. The things I looked at were packing volume, weight, handle sturdiness and operation, and extra features. I spent time testing how they maneuvered when packed with a heavy load and had a heavy backpack on top. (The weight can make a real difference as to how easily they roll.)

   Being expandable was a requirement. This is because you usually wear some of your bulkiest shoes and outerwear, etc., to create more room in the case. Then, once in country, it’s possible to expand the luggage to pack those items when traveling town to town. You can also buy some things like toothpaste, hair spray, etc., to use while in country, and then discard before flying home. That can require the carry-on to expand, as well.

   The carry-on is fairly light weight and has good volume for packing as much as possible. It has a side handle, as well as a top handle. That really helps me lift it up to place on a rack. The placement of the zip divider panel was better than in some of the other bags. Some of the other carry-ons I evaluated had the zip panel sewn in pretty far down below the zipper edge of the case. This really reduced the depth that is available for packing on that side. This case did a better job with that.

   One thing that was really important to me was the maneuverability when the case was carrying a heavy load. This piece was the best. I can place a heavy backpack on top, and still whip around with ease on hard floors through the airport. I’ve taken it on trains and through train stations, as well. It’s great.

   On the other reviews, I did note that people said this case showed scratches easily. Because I was going to a wet climate, I also ordered a clear plastic cover for the case. It worked in the rain, and also protected the case. It had to be checked on one occasion and was frequently loaded into the base of a bus. It still looks really good after 4 weeks of travel.

   One thing that Samsonite could improve on is the direction that the zippered panel opens when unzipped. You have to lay the panel over the other side of the case when it’s open. It would be better if it opened to the outside so that the contents of the other side of the case was visible when the the panel is open.

   All and all, I am very happy with my choice. It worked well for a 4-week carry-on only trip. The color is beautiful, as well.

   One year later: This is still my favorite carry-on. It holds a lot and handles really well. It’s great for US airlines and British Airways. The size is a bit more than allowed on Lufthansa and KLM/AIr France, so I haven’t tried using it on their flights in case they are checking. I’ve seen people boarding with larger bags, though, so it boils down to whether or not you want to risk having it gate checked. When weight is an issue, this bag is about 1/2 to 3/4 lb. more than I would like, but it’s not bad. I still haven’t found a bag that is that much lighter, that holds as much and that maneuvers as well.

   My daughter use the suitcase when she went to Italy this past summer. She said it was very spacious and held lots of clothing. She loved how she could lock the suitcase and had a code to get inside and unlock it. She also liked how it expands so she was able to bring all of our souvenirs home. Great suitcase I also bought the smaller one as a carry-on and she really liked that as well.

    The luggage itself is nice looking and very functional. The shipping carton was a little beat up and the resulted in the hard plastic case itself receiving multiple deep scratches. Size is good , wheels spin nicely. Just wish it didn’t look pre-used.
