from San Diego on 7/5/2008
We were packing and ready to leave...the combination lock would not lock. Then it did lock and we didn't have the combo. Had to break the combo lock and use the two corner key locks.
It is very inconvenient to only be able to pack on one side.
I had already put our name on inside with marker, and of course had to break the lock, so it can't be returned. We will just donate it to Goodwill.
I was happy with my older hard-sided Samsonite, it zips and has a combo TSA lock, that is why I bought this luggage. Oh, well, chalk this up as a learning experience.

Not as sytlish as I hoped. Material is plain hard plastic. Durable and very roomy.
I typically go through 3 cases a year. This is my first Samsonite and it's holding up very well. My Italian Samsonite copy has blown latches, the extention won't lock and I'm going to retire it for another Samsonite.
After reading the reviews on this site on this bag i was astonished at the misinformation some of the reviewers were giving. First off the bag is just a hardshell there is nothing inside of it, no fabric liner. It is lighter than any bag of a comparable size, meaning you can add more fabric to the inside (your clothes). The bag is not flimsy, when closed it is as sturdy as they come. I have had this bag for six years and it has been all over the world and it is the most indestructable bag I've ever owned.

My favorite piece of luggage. The only drawback is the top part of the shell doesn't have a flap to hold items in when closing, but I've adapted. Honestly, you can't beat it for the price. It's strong and durable and the color stands out on the luggage carousel.

The product didn't look like what was advertised on line and was very flimsy. I have returned both suitcases that I ordered.

long european vacations. Good capacity but heavy.
Best hard-shelled suitcase I've ever owned. All aspects of the suitcase have been well-designed. When opened, the bottom "half" holds at least 85% of contents, so no clothes flip over when the suitcase is closed. Rubber gasket covers edge when closed.

Great suitcase for frequent travellers. Holds up well.
I am completely unsatisfied with this product -- in fact, it almost resulted in disaster! On the morning of my planned flight to India, I found out that this suitcase exceeds the airlines' size limits. I had no idea until then. I had to purchase a new suitcase and re-pack on my way to the airport -- I almost missed my flight, and was extremely fortunate to find another hard shell bag on my way. As soon as I return, I am going to send this bag back for a full refund!!!! Please reply to this email. Laurel Harris
great product.
I purchased this piece of luggage because it was what my mate wanted. After see the item I have feel that I paid too much for an item that is injected molded plastic. The purchased is based on the Samsonite name, all other pieces that we have are very good quality. In Alaska hard side Samsonite is as rare as hens teeth.
Have not used it yet, but the design is great.
I won't be using it until late March, so I'm unable to comment on the durability of this product. I am impressed with the design and the features.
great
The entire process was flawless and handled in a manner that all transactions should emulate.
All purchases should go as well as this one did.
This suitcase is elegant and very light. I still have to see how durable it is. But since it is from samsonite and with a 10 yr warranty, I guess it will be good. -- Mahesh

We travel a lot and our fabric luggage gets destroyed too easily. We're finally spending a bit more on hard shell, and so far it's been perfect! No zippers destroy and no fabric to tear. I recommend putting a strap around the body just in case the lock comes open, but that's never happened to us...yet.
very nice. sloooooow shipping, i had to call because i think they forgot to ship it, but i love the luggage!
