I ADORE this case and get loads of compliments on it. I did a lot of research on cabin / carry-on bags before I bought this. If you're in the early stages - some things to consider. (1) Hard or soft (I'm talking about suitcases, get your mind out of the gutter!) - hard is probably more important for cases that get checked b/c they get banged around more, however I just like the style / look of hard cases. Also, you can 'overpack' some soft cases - which may make them larger than the allowable size, but you can't overpack hard cases. The one drawback of hard cases is the lack of outside pockets - which I really wanted - but since I carry a large purse when I travel,its really not a big deal - the only time when this matters is for those stickler airlines (EasyJet) that only allow 1 carry-on - literally - with no allowance for a purse / computer bag. There are some hard cases out there that are trying out an external pocket (Samsonite), but they seem to take up a lot of the interior space, so I chose to not go that direction. (2) 2 wheels or 4 wheels - most soft cases are 2 wheeled, most hard cases are 4 wheeled. I'd say the only reason to go 2-wheel is if you want the extra space. 2-wheeled bags have the wheels built into the corners of the case, whereas 4-wheeled bags have the wheels sticking out from the end of the bag - so you'd lose about 2-3" of length. One thing to keep an eye out for - in the description of some bags, the wheels are not always included in the total length (which is dumb) - for example I found out that Delsey doesn't include the wheels in their length description. Antler does. 4-wheelers are MUCH easier to navigate down narrow spaces, and its much easier to set a second bag on top of it without having it topple off. Another consideration about wheels is how durable they are - this (and the zipper & handle) are probably the components that will go first. The wheels on the Antler seem pretty good, they're crap on my gravel driveway.. but pretty much all luggage wheels are. (3) Size & weight - best to maximize size for the airlines you'll be travelling... Some of the cheaper European airlines (EasyJet / Ryanair) require carry-ons to be smaller than many larger / N. American airlines. I found this case to be one of the largest ones out there (largest volume). Most airlines don't have a weight restriction for cabin bags... but some do - you don't want your bag to contribute much to the overall weight if this is an issue. (4) Other odds n' ends that might be important to consider: lock (TSA accessible), adjustable handle, scratch resistance of the case finish (this case has a slight texture & is matte), warranty (Antler provides a 10yr warranty). This bag ticks all the boxes!! I travel a lot by plane & train and this bag has made my travel experiences SO much better in the last 2 months. Plus its red - I love it!!!UPDATE: 1 year later and I still LOVE this bag. It does have quite a few scratches on it - but that is pretty unavoidable, and at least they don't really show b/c the case is matte (I previously had a shiny red case and the scratches went through the red layer and showed silver, so were very noticeable and grubby looking). Everything has held up beautifully - the interior fabric, zips, mesh, pockets, etc. and the main zip and lock - even when I stuff it to its gills! Also, nothing has ever broken inside this case, and even I sometime stow my computer in here (not when checked into the hold obviously, but in other travels). The case also still wheels / glides very nicely - there doesn't seem to be any loosening in the handle or wheels. The 4-wheel option is DEFINITELY the way to go, I will never go back to 2 wheels. The only drawback to 4 wheels is that the case can roll away if you don't have it set against something (why don't they put a simple locking mechanism on the wheel?). But 4 wheels makes the case very easy to navigate in all situations. With 2 wheels, you are forced to tow the bag behind you, but with 4, you have the option of pushing it - which is a lot easier on your shoulder / arm. I'm (still) very happy with this case, I think I will have it for many years to come.

I do a lot of travelling for business and over the years have worn out more than a few types and makes of suitcase. (or rather the airport baggage handling has!). Cheap luggage is a waste of money for me so when I was able to get this Antler suitcase at a good price I decided to give it a go.I bought the smaller cabin sized version of this first and that has worked well so getting the bigger one was an easy choice.The ABS they are made from is soft and flexible, not the hard brittle material often used on other cases so its going to take the knocks much better. Handles zips etc. are all neatly fared into the shape of the case reducing the risk of them getting ripped off as it travels through the airports baggage grinding system.

Really happy with this case. We picked up a medium for a trip to Japan. It came slighly smaller than expected but that is our error as the capacity is quoted on the website. For what it's worth, for our trip the case was 14kg full loaded with clothes and a pair of boots. Obviously weight depends on what you pack but you should be able to stay within airline weight allowances with the medium.On reflection, we would still prefer the medium, perhaps 2 mediums to a large as hotel room space was tight in Japan and the size of the case worked.The black shell is the plastic colour so no paint scratches to worry about and the zip is chunky and looks strong.

I bought the large 79cm version of this case and it's been used on international travel and stood up well to this, we all know how "careful" baggage handlers are and this case has passed with flying colours!This is a flexible hard case which I think is a great balance as it's not rigid so won't crack like solid hard cases, made from Polypropylene which seems very tough and stands up to knocks and drops well absorbing the shock.The internal pockets and straps secure your clothes nicely inside to stop them moving about and keep everything nicely folded and are high quality.It has a fixed TSA combination lock which is the lock you want for international travel,

Antler is a respected name in the world of luggage and, judging by the quality of this item, you can understand why.Considerably more affordable than some of the other premium brands in the sector, Antler still manages to produce high-quality cases that look good and have a durable feel to them.I bought this case as a gift for my wife to use for an upcoming holiday and she is really happy with it. The colour is vibrant but not lurid, the wheels and telescopic handle are of high quality and the locks are simple to use and feel sturdy enough to deter casual interference (which is becoming more of an issue, especially during long-haul flights).I checked before purchase that it falls within the cabin baggage restrictions of the airline we're using,

Got me through a 5 week coast to coast trip around the U.S. Without a problem, except my overshopping at the outlet mall... However that event proved it can be bounced up and down upon to close it without issue.Edit: On the down side, I did finally did manage to break this after 14 months, in fairness - it was totally my fault. Checkout at 12pm + flight at 9pm = drinking all day and falling down an escalator at JFK. In all honesty this bag (figuratively) saved my life!Somehow I fell and hit the extendable handle, which saved my face from being grated on the metal edge of a step, but did suffer irreparable damage under my 95kg frame combined with gravity, at velocity,

The design of this suitcase it really beautiful. After using it on it's first trip, to Australia and back, I haven't been able to put it away, it just sits in my hallway because it's so nice to look at.A breeze to use. I wheeled it a few miles through the streets of Sydney and it was fine on all terrains. In the airport it glides along the smooth floor so beautifully it feels like a graceful ice skater. A nice flat surface on top to rest your carry-on as you are walking around. Shell is tough but flexible, not so rigid it would break on impact. A few scuffs from the luggage belt were easily wiped off and it's back to it's as new glory.After owning this case I would never go back to a two wheeler.

Very stylish, lightweight, well built suitcase, up to the standard you would expect from Antler, but, it is quite small.I have had previous Antler medium suitcases, ones that I intended to replace with these in fact, which are quite a bit larger. Maybe it's industry trends or the need to produce an ultra lightweight unit, but the size is an issue.You would be looking at a week's worth of luggage, packing conservatively with this case.A previous review claimed 5 weeks of travel with the contents of this case, that I feel is somewhere wide if the mark.So, excellent product, with fast and efficient delivery, but only suitable for short duration travel.

Fantastic lightweight highly mobile 8 wheel suitcase that makes it a breeze to push two per hand concurrently. There literally aren't any other cases I've come across that make multi handling so easy.Well built, resilient and with TSA combination lock these should be the top of any prospective buyer's list. The bright colour also stands them from the crowd on a busy luggage conveyor belt.Buy Antler with confidence, a well respected and reliable brand.I travel for over 300 days a year and wish I'd had these 4 years ago at the beginning of this job.

what a gem! Lovely sized and light weight cabin luggage is what I have always wanted. Been looking for a cabin luggage a long time to replace my old and heavy cabin luggage. Initially wanted to get a tripp cabin luggage but came to amazon and browsed other possible cabin luggage. Good lord!!! voila this juno cabin luggage is fabulous. lovely colour and overall lovely reviews too. Don't understand why people do not snap this luggage up quickly? £50+ is simply a bargain.

The Juno cases are all pretty well made and this 110 litre one was extremely spacious. We had a 30kg allowance on our recent flights to Malaysia and this allowed us to use that to the limit. The wheels seem to be better designed than others that I have used and allowed me to change direction pretty easily. Make sure you don't pay anything like full price for it though as these are regularly discounted on this, and other, websites.

Have this is a while down, it's racked up about 10,000 miles now and still going strong. It's very tough, the matt black hides scratches well and the handle and wheels have taken a few miles of pavements very well indeed. The frame and interior space is very good. I travel for work a lot and this is a great day or weekend case. Squeezed three days of clothes, a suit and shoes in it with some careful packing. Highly recommended.

Everything about this suitcase is fantastic, apart from one small issue.When walking along with the suitcase upright on all four wheels, the small vibrations of moving cause the handle to fall down after about 30 seconds of walking. It's not a major issue, but can be frustrating.Other than that, a solid suitcase that feels quality-made both inside and out. I'd still recommend despite the falling handle.

I've always bought Antler luggage as I've always found them to be sturdy and reliable. So far, this one hasn't let me down either! Managed to get a good price due to the (unpopular?) colour? But that's a bonus to me, as it's far easier to spot on the luggage carousel! Plenty spacious inside with no wasted space with excessive pockets. Wheels and telescopic handle are all sturdy. Recommended

Really well made suitcase, the only thing it's missing is a side pocket, for putting in your toiletries et cetera for when you going through security. It's been away on a couple of trips with me now both in the hold and as cabin baggage and seems to have lasted well. Wheels look sturdy, and the case is holding its own. What you'd expect from Antler. It's worth the price
