Carry On Luggage, 20 Inch Top Opening Aluminum Frame Lightweight Airline Approved ABS+PC Hard Shell Suitcases with Silent Wheels, TSA Lock, Front Pocket & Wet-dry Separated Six-piece Set

Great lightweight, full size suitcase... love the top opening.. wheels rolled well... took it on an 8 week vacation around Europe, South African and the Middle East ... held up well for our 19 flights with no damage during travel.

The top opening style is great. It takes up much less room when the suitcase is opened and it’s easier to pack It seems sturdy and the wheels move with ease. It’s also very lightweight.

I just received this and haven't used it yet, but I can see why there are some complaints about the zipper. I'm hoping it works better when the case is full. It doesn't seem to move smoothly and I have to get it opened a little so I can get my hand in there to lift the top to make the zipper open easier. I think if the zipper were around the entire top instead of being kind of inserted, it would perform better. But I do like the color and the size. It seems to roll around nicely and I'm looking forward to using it on my next trip. I bought it because I hate the clamshell suitcases and the cloth ones don't hold up well to airline travel. We'll see how it goes...

I have enjoyed my lidded suitcase so much for the last nine months that I bought another one for my BF for a present. Now we both have a lidded 29” suitcase (the largest size airlines allow). It saves a lot of space when we can simply lift the lid to access the contents rather than having to flop half of the bag over (and take up double the floor space) to access anything. I also really like the dark gray metallic color that is subtle and sophisticated. I have traveled extensively with this bag in the past nine months and it has held up quite well.

It rolls very well, holds up to abuse (by baggage "handlers"), and doesn't attract too much attention as my Pelican ones did so I got these to replace. I'm very satisfied with them. Taken them on 4 international trips and served me well. So far they look almost brand new with only minor scuffs. Everything works and is pretty well thought out. I like that they fit inside each other for storage. The big one is a little bigger than what some airlines like but I haven't had an issue yet. Only complaint is the zipper "tallywhackers" are awkwardly curved to me and can be a bit difficult when zipping open or closed.

After using this case for 5 trips, the top corner of the suitcase cracked wide open rendering it unusable. While it was clearly caused by the baggage handling system, it stands to reason that the bag itself isn't very durable. However, I will replace it and give it one more chance. Perhaps this was a one off. *********I did purchase the same exact bag to replace the damaged one. On the first trip I took with it, the wheel was torn off in the baggage claim process. Needless to say, these bags have been proven to be less than durable.

Sticky zipper, needed wax lube. (Lip balm)

This is EXACTLY what I wanted: A checkable to loading hard shell piece of luggage...I cannot stand the split middle where all my stuff dumps as I open it in the hotel!!! Price is right along with an excellent build quality.
