These are great cases. We have 2. They’ve been filled full and battered about so much but they’re still in tact. Wheels are great, no problems (I was worried they might buckle but they didn’t). Would recommend
Bought this to go with the same item that we already own. Nice spinner case that with Samsonite quality. The plastic is quite flexible but we have never had any problems with our old case so know this one will be just as good.
I am a very frequent traveller due to work and I work in some pretty inhospitable places. I have used these Samsonite cases for a number of years without trouble except in one instance when baggae handling manage to break two castors. This smaller version of what I already use is as sturdy as my past cases and I’d highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see their gear arrive in one piece at it’s final destinatio
You can relax that no one can access your flight bag on long journeys while you sleep. This style is limited now, new pattern – but this matches it’s bigger brothers/sisters as used by flight crews. Love it!
I bought this case after reading reviews regarding suitcases with zips that are , apparently, being opened by pencils at airports and goods stolen! I read that zipless cases were more secure! So, when I saw these suitcases on a special price on Amazon Prime Day, I knew I had to get them.
They look really strong, and are a great colour. However, I was surprised to find that on opening the case, they weren’t lined. Maybe this means more room for your clothes! We will test run them on our trip to Australia in 24.
Having purchased Samsonite suitcases in the past, I know they are built to last. It’s not uncommon for the same suitcase to still be going fifteen years later. After trying an inferior brand, I have decided to return to Samsonite. There is a reason why most major Middle Eastern carriers issue Samsonite suitcases to their crew. They last.
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?!?
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.
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.
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!).
‘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.
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.
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!
