Platinum Elite Hardside Expandable Checked Luggage, 8 Wheel Spinner, TSA Lock, Hard Shell Polycarbonate Suitcase, Shadow Black, Checked Large 28-Inch

All set for a six-day trip through the Middle East beginning tomorrow morning. Arrived quickly, it's sturdy, in perfect condition, and looks far more expensive than it actually was. Everything I need is right here with room to spare. I've got three pairs of lightweight performance pants, six performance tees, three pairs of shorts, six pairs of undies, six pairs of socks, and a pair of tennis shoes, all without using the expansion feature. This is for carry-on use only, so I'm very optimistic it will hold up even if it gets "captured" at the gate and sent into the baggage compartment. Oh, and the wheels move like a dream!

This case travels very well. It fits perfectly in every overhead bin I've put it in. It rolls smoothly, and the magnetically aligned wheels keep it rolling straight. The multi height pull bar is great. Lots of pockets to put travel necessities in, and the charger pass-thru works well and is a pretty cool feature. The zippers are very nice and engage well. On a definitely overstuffed case, I was able to zip down the expansion with ease without worrying if I'd split a zipper. The combination lock is easy to set and functions flawlessly, and is TSA approved. The color and styling points are very nice, and are durable enough to withstand baggage handlers when it needs to be gate checked on crowded flights. Comfortably holds a week's worth of clothes and an extra pair of shoes, with room for a toiletry bag and some additional odds and ends.

This suitcase lasted me 2.5 years of constant travel (~200 flights) until one of the wheels got wonky and the cracks were too big to ignore. The lock was always reliable. Very lightweight, spacious, good zippers. I treated it like crap, bouncing it down staircases and such, and it took the abuse like a champ.

Update: Several weeks after submitting my warranty claim, I still haven't heard back from Travelpro. I'd heard that their customer service was great, but that's the opposite of my experience. Updating to 1 star. I do not recommend this suitcase. I bought this based on the reputation of travelpro’s products and warranty. However, the zipper pull broke the first time i used the suitcase. I filed a warranty claim with travelpro a week ago, and was promised a response within 2 days. I still haven’t heard back. Outside of the zipper issue, the case feels rather cheap for the price I paid for it. There is enough play from the closure and expansion zippers that the two halves of the shell feel wobbly to eachother and flimsy even though the wheels seem high quality. The fact that it doesn’t have a handle on the bottom also makes it a little awkward to grab from the luggage belt depending on orientation or to lift into the trunk of a car. All-in-all, I regret this purchase. I’ll update my review later if travelpro responds to my warranty claim, but the fact that they still haven’t responded doesn’t inspire hope.

Just got back from a 4-day, 5-leg trip with the brand-new bag. Literally removing the stickers so I could pack it. On two of those legs, the bag was "valet checked," meaning it was dropped off on the jetway and returned to the jetway after the flight. Other legs were up in the overhead. Some thoughts: Pros: this is a well made bag, with a solid-feeling handle that locks firmly, and smooth rolling wheels. It's easy to glide along on all but the roughest carpets with just finger touch. Good zippers, and solid lock that's easy to set. Water-proof pouch inside is a nice touch. And it's a good looking bag, unique enough to set it off from all the generic "black square" carry-ons. The unique look makes it easier to see when they plop it onto the jetway, too. Attractive, solid bag. Cons: this bag is smaller than you'd think, and a couple of poor design choices make it feel even smaller. First, there two versions of this bag, the Compact Carry-on and the (slightly) larger Carry-on 21-inch. Based on the description that the Carry-on 21-inch is "sizer bin tested to fit in the overhead bins of most major domestic airlines," I was hoping for a larger, just-barely-legal bag I could put a lot into. In reality, it's no bigger than my 20" London Fog carry-on it replaced. Plus, the interior compartment design makes it feel smaller. The handles intruding into the case limits the space in one half, but that's been mentioned and pretty much standard if you have a retractable handle, although these feel a bit larger. The decision to have both compartments zip closed, instead of some kind of strap-down arrangement makes the space feel even smaller. You can see from the photo that there's about an inch and a half of "dead space" before the zipper on the top which makes it much harder to utilize the space below it. You have to kind of wedge the clothes in under the "flap." I'd much rather have (at least) one side that's open, and they could easily have reduced the size of the "flap" before the zipper. I couldn't conceive of buying the smaller Compact Carry-on. I could take or leave the external USB ports, and you can see the scuffs on the polycarbonate hard shell with just a small introduction to the travel experience. More than I expected, but pretty much par for the course. (Guess I was hoping for a birdie experience here.) Overall: good bag limited in space by some design choices.

He comprado y usado muchas maletas a lo largo de mi vida y definitivamente la mejor que he tenido hasta la fecha, Me arrepiento de no haber comprado antes, cuando viajaba muucho más que ahora.

They look great, seem to be high quality and have lots of storage areas to separate stuff. My wife immediately had suitcase envy after having purchased new Samsonite ones just before me. Haven't used them yet though, so will need to see which ones tolerate the airline abuse the best.

Very well fitted with the cross straps secured at the bottom

A truly remarkable piece of luggage that lives up to its reputation.

It’s good but the price is not justified
