It’s a Samsonite. Need I really say anymore. It’s perfect in every way. Love the fact that it has a separate zipped compartment. It’s amazing what you can actually pack in it considering it’s size. Would recommend.
I find polycarbonate cases though very light tend to damage easily, hence I much prefer polyproylene — which ironically tends to be cheaper than polycarbonate. This case is very light though, plus a Samsonite. At the price point I got it for I definitely would repeat buy if another such case was required.
We got this as I already have one and the other half wanted the same one in a pretty colour! Quality is fantastic, as Samsonite tend to be, already taken it on a holiday and it was perfect. Amazing price too, going to buy another soon!
It’s a good size for overseas travel
Plenty of room
Good zip up compartment inside to stop clothes etc going everywhere
Wheels along nicely
Only had it for one trip but happy with i
I love the semi-hard-shell concept! It’s light and self-healing with remarkable capacity! Feels sturdy enough!
It provides enough protection for your goods and clothing!
After registration, you receive five years warranty. What else do you need?!?
got 2 spinner suitcases in the past 12 months – both are top quality
I’ve just bought the 81x55x35 size, which looks huge as I’m only used to cabin size! I’ve got the cabin sized S’cure and love it so hoping this will be as good.
I noticed lots of people are complaining about the lock and no instructions. Just a heads-up… the Samsonite video about the locking mechanism is on the Amazon page, just above these reviews.
Have just used it the once so far, so can’t speak on longevity, but so far has been great, particularly like the ease at which the suitcase rolls with the spinner wheels
The case looks good and is light. I needed a case with a very hard shell to cope with the thousands of miles travelling. Although it looks good it shell is quite flexible and can be pushed in, not really suitable to carry fragile items.
Have not used it yet but appears to be a good solid case.
International trip – luxury and safari and it was fantastic. A little scratched and scuffed but still looks great and the wheels roll well on most surfaces except pebbles! I am pleased I went for black colour as it doesn’t show wearmarks. Just tie a bright colour ribbon on the handle during transit as everyone has a black case! The excellent seal means it’s dust free after the bush track to remote safari lodge. I put in my own personal 3 digit security pin and that worked so well for peace of mind. No risk of zips being split and content spilling out and being stolen or los
We have a couple of Samsonite hard suitcases that we bought new about 16 years back. To say that they are well traveled is an understatement! In all their travels over the years, the only problem was a side flap lock got damaged by airport luggage handlers. Got in touch with Samsonite and the damaged part was quickly sent out to replace.
There are lots of cheaper cases out there but the amount of abuse these older cases have taken over time is testament to their quality.
The new Samsonite swivel case we purchased is more convenient for us now with the swivel wheels and are lighter in weight but still excellent quality. At the end of the day, you get what you pay for. If you are a frequent flyer or travel a lot, it’s money well spent.
This suitcase seems robust; its the 5th one I’ve bought in 12 months. Let’s see how long it lasts being mauled by the baggage handling system at LHR.
We had a pair of Samsonite hard side cases for probably close to 20 years, but declining luggage allowances on many airlines meant they just became too heavy to use. We reluctantly changed to a pair of Antler soft sided expandable cases a few years ago, but they simply don’t last, so here we are, back in the world of Samsonite hard sides.
We chose these particular cases for their clamshell locking system. It’s the same system as on our previous Samsonites and we’ve found it to be durable, reliable and 100% waterproof. For me, the weak point of any case is the zip; they’re likely to be the thing that breaks first, they’re easy for a thief to get through and they’re not waterproof. These cases are little more than half the weight of our previous Samsonites (although they do weigh a kilo or so more than our soft sides), they’re incredibly manoeuvrable and they look great. The internal dividers make them easy to pack and the lack or lining in the shells will help with long-term durability.
Amazon offered these at the lowest price we could find and we got them on 5 months interest free (although, curiously, you can only buy one on interest free, so the wife and I had to buy one each!).
A secure hard bodied case and very light when empty
Samsonite S’Cure – Spinner M Suitcase are expensive cases but they are quality case. Its strong lightweight and would buy another one without even thinking about it if needed
All Good Had 2 of these for a 6 week holiday in Australia
Purchased for us as old cases have become too heavy plus needed 4 wheels.
Love my Samsonite suitcases. These self locking bags are the best. While not that light in weight, they close securely and protect items inside really well. Delighted with the size and durability of the case. Highly recommend.
Always buy Samsonite, had a large one but needed a slightly smaller one for shorter stays.
I like the lightweight, and the handles are placed perfectly for me.
Bought for 2-3 weeks cruise. Size and shape ideal, easy to manage, well-equipped inside. Sturdy and safe. ‘Silver’ is very nice light grey.
Great quality case which has absorbed conveyer belt punishment for years. Strong construction. A good size that can store plenty of holiday luggage without going over weight limits.
I chose this because I knew polypropylene was a very robust material, hoping it would survive longer than other materials such as PCB and polycarbonate.
In fact, I have been using it for 10 years, and there’s no problem so far.
(More precisely, I have been using size L for 10 years, and M for 8 years.)
Unfortunately, S’Cure line is now discontinued. I recommend you to get one while it lasts. It is definitely worth it.
Xmas present purchase, having used Samsonite since our original Oyster cases purchased in1988 and benefiting from the excellent warrenty support provided ie replacement wheels for the original cases, followed by broken wheels and handle more recently pre covid for the replacement spinners due to baggage handling abuse made for easy decision on which brand case to gift. Samsonite Cases are tough and durable but when damaged by loaders abuse can be repaired.
Great suitcase easy to pack good manoeuvrability easy to spot on luggage carrousel
The product and the color I chose looks really cool and stylish
Good suitcase, easy to manouvre and robust enough to stand up to handling by airports and airlines.
Samsonite suitcases are the best! Have one already for over 10 years and still going strong. Got the additional as the first one is a bit small. All the bigger ones I had are all dead now. So decided to invest in a suitcase that will last a lifetime.
Love these suitcases, this is an addition to the 2 cabin size and 1 same size I already have.
They’re light, and almost indestructible by airport handlers anyway. This one is a great size for a week to two weeks away.
Love Samsonite and so far love this case. My only negative is its rather heavy, but seems very sturdy and no issues after my 1st trip
NO INSTRUCTION for side closures and TSA lock, what nonsense in the name of being ‘GREEN’.
‘No Printed Instruction’ is counter productive, similar to cleaning dishes in a bowl of soapy water that is often mirky, greasy and full of food bits, and then NOT bothering to rinse the soapy dishes with clean running water because you want to save money or be ‘green’. While a piece of printed card is ‘saved’ by the manufacturer, consumers are forced to waste time and use electricity to hunt down the instructions on their device.
As a consumer, I EXPECT instructions to be with the item, this is NOT asking much. I do NOT want the hassle of scanning the QR code to find other information, I am not particularly tech obsessed and not glued to my phone 24/7. Likewise, I really don’t need an app for everything!!
As a result of this ‘Green’ madness, I had to waste time making my own document with instructions for future reference. I also discovered that the 2 side closures must also be slid downwards after they are latched, otherwise, they can become easily unlatched. No matter how intuitive the feature may appear, this crucial safety information should be provided as part of the instructions to avoid any catastrophic accident.
Yes, videos are helpful as a backup option, but lack of printed instructions with the product is UNACCEPTABLE.
Just come back from a week in Crete and used the suitcase for the first time. The case holds an enormous amount and one could, very easily, go overweight. Our limit was 22Kg and we came in at 21.8Kg, but had enough clothes etc for both of us. The locking mechanism is secure and is easy to set up. The case was very easy to move about on it’s wheels. It is a heavy case so beware when lifting! It has survived the trip to Crete and my wife and I are very happy with our purchase.
ecently took this to america and it was lightweight and easy to move about, i actually used it to sit on when waiting in the check out que. As expected it got thrown about a bit and was slightly dinted when i collected it from the airport. Which corrected it self once i opened it and retuned to the original case i had no other problems when traveling home.
Having owned Samsonite cases before we needed a set more up to date with TSA locks, these cases are ok but not a patch on the older in my opion more sturdy cases, in saying that these are easy to move around but not so easy to man handle and do take up more room when transporting, they are light weight for a solid case but you have to be careful not to overfill due to weight restricions on some airlines
Light and easy to handle, with a quality feel. The top surface feels a little flimsy at first, as it can be easily pressed in and out. However, I road tested the case on a long-haul to South Africa and it was excellent. The ‘give’ in the lid ensures that it doesn’t get dented, as it springs back into shape. Surface texture also seems to resist marks (unlike the hard shiny cases). A zipped upper compartment allows you to keep items separate from the main body of the case, but apart from a narrow zipped pocket which runs the length of the main body of the case, there is little additional equipment inside, keeping weight to a minimum. The closures and locking system feel solid and secure and there is a watertight seal around the whole of case to prevent water ingress. I chose a case without a zip closure, as these are always the first part to fail and I have had a couple of disasters with them. This case feels very secure. The wheels are efficient and do not stick out to far, so there is less risk of them getting damaged than on some makes. In the final analysis, you get what you pay for and Samsonite is worth the money.
I had some basic criteria for a new small suitcase: it had to be small enough to qualify as hand luggage on most airlines, it had to have 4 wheels, and it had to have no external zips.
I do quite a few trips where I can get away with just hand luggage, so I needed one that was small enough for that, but could hold quite a lot in it. This suitcase is fairly basic inside with one open section and the other section has a zipped cover – which is great. It holds lots of stuff in it and I can easily pack a good few days’ worth of clothes in it.
I’d never had a 4-wheel suitcase before (only 2-wheel pull-alongs), but seeing so many in the airport and how easily people can push them along, I wanted to go for one. You have the best of both worlds anyway, as you can also just pull it along on two of its wheels if you want to. It rolls really smoothly too.
Finally, and probably most importantly, I wanted a suitcase with latches rather than zips. These are actually harder to find that I expected. I didn’t want zipped because zips fail. Also zips are less secure and you can easily wedge a pen or screwdriver into a zip to force it open. Also, latches are generally on hard-shell cases and I prefer hard shells plus I find latches feel like they’re holding your suitcase tight shut with little chance of accidentally opening.
As this suitcase met my criteria and it wasn’t too expensive (not cheap, but one of the cheaper Samsonite ones) then I decided it was the one to go for. I ordered red so it stood out more on the carousel (if I ever needed to check it in). Being Samsonite, the build quality is superb and I expect it will last for years.
Update at 18 months: Despite spending the last 6 months joining me for on at least two flights a week (as checked luggage) it’s happily going strong.
I have now been using this every week for four months for travelling around the UK with my job. I’ll typically be away for four days during the week, and was previously making do with a smaller laptop wheelie bag – but decided to upsize to a larger bag with four wheels to make staying away more comfortable.
I’m extremely happy with this hard (although still flexible) case, it’s suffered only one or two minor scuffs and is easy to clean after being pulled around in the rain, unlike previous fabric cases. It also doesn’t fray or snag like other soft cases do when being taken on/off trains etc.
A few observations:
– It isn’t the lightest. I’m not concerned about this, but a fabric bag will be lighter
– It isn’t the quietest. The wheels are double wheels, and their mounts on the hard case make a lot more noise when dragging than other four wheeled soft suitcases that colleagues have.
– If you are trying to pack a lot in, bear in mind the case isn’t as flexible as a soft case. That said, if you fasten the two end clips first, you can easily clip on the side fastener.
– There are only two storage areas. If you like compartmentalising you will need to buy some packing bags. It would have been nice to have a small pouch for miscellaneous items that you don’t want rattling around in the main areas.
Despite the above, I’m extremely happy with my purchase and would happily buy again.
Having had a Samsonite case since 1987 that had travelled the globe & stood up to some serious battering. One time coming back from New York it had tyre tracks over the top & was pretty squashed. I popped open the lock & it instantly went back to shape. So with this type of quality & having seen 4 wheel cases at airports I thought I’d treat myself to the S’cure 81. When it arrived it looked like I’d ordered a wardrobe on wheels as this thing is massive. Anyway despite my best effort not to pack too much it was easily swallowed up in this case. After the outbound trip it arrived pretty scuffed but to be honest I wasn’t too bothered as I expect it to have a hard time on its travels. On the return it was a different story as it looked like someone had used it as a trampoline with the front caved in. I took it over to the baggage damage office at the airport to show them the state of it & said I would open it to see if it reformed like my previous case. On opening the case it stayed as it was. The lady said there was nothing they were going to do & that I should reform it with a hairdryer. To be honest the case is super lightweight & pliable but it was packed to the gills so was hard to squash. After a week of just being left stood in the spare room waiting to go a way in the loft I was surprised to see that it had reformed itself perfectly. One thing I’m not keen on isthe TSA lock either as it sounds they’re really simple to unlock without the special key.
If you like this style of case I would go for the 75 or possibly the smaller 69cm version unless you are taking away a lot of gear. I just think this case will get badly damaged if not totally packed out.
So, overall I think this case is pretty good. Purchased two from Amazon and just used them for a two week tour, four flights and five hotels. Like a lot of reviewers here, I was looking for something to supplement my now ageing collection of Samsonite Oysters (clearly the best suitcase ever made).
Big plus of this case is the excellent mobility – the wheels are great and so far have survived unscathed.
So-so is the robustness – as others have commented, unless the bag is packed fairly solidly it may well come off the line with a big ding in it, but, as others have also commented it will pop back out again. Time will tell how well it lasts, never had that even with a half empty Oyster.
Negative – I should have figured this out before I bought it, it is so obvious, but there you go: this case is hinged in the middle, meaning you pack half your stuff in the “top” and zip the internal cover over it, and half your stuff in the bottom. Meaning you lift everything in the top over to close the bag. All of which is fine, but it means most of the places to put your bag in a hotel will not accommodate it – you can’t put it on a shelf and open the top against a wall. This can be a pain if you are hotel hopping like we were.
Otherwise it is up to the usual standard you would expect from Samsonite, great handle and clasps. Also has the joke TSA lock on it, please don’t tell me you are one of the people who thinks there is a baggage handler anywhere on the planet who can’t open any bag after two weeks on the job – the only purpose of suitcase locks is to reduce the chance of your bag popping open in transit, please remember that and don’t put anything in the hold you can’t easily replace.
The bag weighs about 4kg when empty. With a reasonable mix of clothes, shoes, toiletries and general purpose junk (but no books) it was nudging 20kg so on many airlines that’s your economy class weight allowance, meaning this size is about right for that.
All in all a good case, apart from the kinking and the centre hinge thing which I should have spotted myself – doh!
Clam shell Samsonite case – as per other reviewers I such prefer to zip ones.
Not yet used, but I have an old Samsonite Oyster case and this seems to be as close a replacement as one can get. Looks well made and like it might last just as long (over 10 years).
I’m not that keen on internal dividers so may remove – plastic “clip” fixing so should be possible without breaking anything / leaving “reusable”, but will need to be very careful / take it “slowly”!. However, lower part of this is a zip pocket (look closely at photos) and it’s part of the divider – so may just decide to leave as is / with main area unzipped.
Wheels, etc., look OK for may miles / trips – time will tell !.
No “sticky letters”, etc., came with the case, so you will need to provide such if you want to personalise the outside of the case (hopefully to stop others taking it in error at airport !!).
Weighs c4.2KG, as per description – so quite lightweight, especially for a “solid” case.
Looks like it will protect internal items (almost) as well as the old Oyster case did.
Slide handle frame is always going to be a problem with my Ski boots, etc. – but this one seems better that others I’ve tried.
(Flat “bottom” was one of the major benefits of the old Oyster case – but then that only had 2 wheels and no “slide” handle / TSA lock.)
Main and the two side locking clips look very unlikely to come open on flights (if you slide the “lock” bits on the side ones) – very similar to my old Oyster case and they have never come undone in over 10 years of use.)
If it’s the size / type / price you are looking for, can certainly recommend it.
N.B. difference between this and “deluxe” version is just the internal bits.
