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.

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.

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.

Needed a cabin sized case to fit all airlines with small hand luggage restrictions. I've already got one of the sizes up from this small 34 litres version so had a pretty good idea of what I was buying, but needed to wait for a better deal on price to be satisfied on value as had only just bought the bigger case. I've recently had numerous suitcases which all had zip fasteners and these have always got damaged through wear and tear from the baggage handlers at airports, so the clasp method is without doubt my preference as I find they are stronger, last longer and more trusty - in the long run better value for your money. It surprising how much you can actually get in these smaller cases with diligent packing.I love its basic no frills so you get the maximum space for your contents. It has a large zipped compartment in the lid to stop any items falling out when opening correctly. I use separate compartment bags to keep things organised and allows a quick turn around if transferring items into my larger suitcase so any lack of built dividers in not an issue for me. Simple, effective hardwearing case that's easy to manoeuvre and travel with on all modes of transport in getting to the airport or hotel etc. This Samsonite works for me!

Having not travelled much historically I have normally purchased far cheaper cases which to be fair have general self as well as I expected so was a little apprehensive spending this much on a case, however I'm travelling more regularly with now and my children have trips coming up.When looking at cases I knew I wanted a case that didn't use zips. I am aware that TSA lock aren't completely secure but it is certainly a little harder for an opportunist then just using a biro pen which is required for zips. I also wanted a hard shell caseI have used the case and I think it is a worthwhile investment, it is more stable and easier to move around then previous cases due to the 4 castors.The shell is thinner then I thought but it is held up well against flight handlers.With regards to not holding contains securely, my first use the case was only half filled and the straps kept everything in place great - I can't see how previous comments regarding this issue are unique to this case and would suggest a little more thought is put into packing. If you have a container that is 50% air then things will move about.Over all I would definitely recommend it to any traveller.

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.

Oh wow, I have had several Carry On Wheelie cases, by various manufacturers. They all had zip fasteners and were cheap in comparison to this case.HOwever they have all failed within weeks of being over a year old.I love to travel. I travel a lot 2, 3 day trips, 2 or more a month.I love to walk on and walk off with baggage, the airlines love me to do this as well as it means more room for freight in their holds.I have been a fan of Samsonite and their luggage for a long time and as each of my children has grown up I have bought them a set of luggage to leave with ;-P ...At last I decided to no longer scrimp on myselfI splashed out on this baby. It is strong it is secure, it holds all I need for a long weekend away.The wheels work well the case fits all airlines containers for hand luggage... what is not to like ? The price? Not really ... I have spent more than this in the last 5 years on cheap crappy cases that have not lasted.If you do a lot of travelling, or even if you do not but like qualityI absolutely and unreservedly award this case 5 StarsTOP CASE

I relied on reviews for this case in other colours/suppliers and the fact that Trip Advisor gives Samsonite as the most popular case for UK, US and German travellers!.It took some time to locate the Guarantee and instructions for the lock which were in the zipped pocket along the back edge of the case. A video on U-tube was more helpful about setting the lock.I doubt whether it will hold as much stuff as my old soft top Samsonite with zip fasteners. Unfortunately, I have used it for long journeys for more than 20 years old and whilst it is not scuffed or marked the lock is beginning to fail.I was quoted up to 2 weeks for delivery. I wrote via Amazon to ask if the order would really take up to 14 days as it would come close to my travel date.The company replied immediately that there was no cause for concern and that the case would be shipped from Germany via DHL and would take about a week. So imagine my surprise when my case (order dated the 12th) arrived on the 15th. So my worries about delivery were unfounded. Three days is excellent for a large package.

I'm a frequent traveller for work, so I need a robust suitcase. I've never had a hard shell case before, so I was a bit apprehensive when ordering this. I'm really glad I got it now, it's very strong and has already survived 20 flights with barely a scratch. I got the 75cm model, and with hindsight I could have gone down a size. It's very roomy, and if you filled it completely with clothes you'd be in danger of going over the 23kg KLM weight limit (similar weight limits on other carriers). The clips holding the case shut are great quality and seem to be built to last. I expect this will last a couple of hundred more flights, and will update this review if and when the case fails on me.A quick update.It's now Nov 2017 and the case has now notched up a total of 70 flights and it's got nothing worse than a couple of scratches from baggage handlers throwing it around.Edit 6th May 2018... I just got home from a trip and the case is cracked at the back. I won't use it for another trip, too risky. Total was 118 flights, so I'm not sure it's great value after all.

I have had this case for about half a year now and have done a fair bit of travelling with it. So far, I am loving it. Although this is a big suitcase (make sure you have a fair idea of the size before you order it), it's still light and very easy to maneuver. I am a fairly small person (compared to this suitcase at least) and yet have not had any issues with wheeling it around. I find it very sturdy, the locks work great and I think it does a good job of keeping water out. When I travel for more than a week I like to pack as much of my wardrobe as I can possibly carry and this suitcase can usually accommodate most of the stuff I am convinced I need to bring with me.I also love the colour (I have the mint blue version).One word of advice, if you're not going to pack it full regularly, you should order the smaller size, as this might dent if not packed to the brim. I have had to leave it half empty on a return trip and my pretty suitcase looked pretty sad when I picked it up. The empty side was a bit dent, but luckily went back to its original shape quickly.

I originally went cheap and bought cabin baggage from Haupstadkoffer which was claimed to be small enough to take onto Ryanair, That turned out not to be the case and it had to be returned. It seems a lot of manufacturers don't include the wheels or protruding handles in their dimensions whilst airlines do.This case is the full size allowed by the airlines with the wheels included and all handles and locks recessed to avoid taking from the capacity available within the overall dimensions allowed.The case is arranged in two halves one of which is curtained off with a zippered cloth partition and in the other contents are restrained by elastic straps. It keeps things arranged and secured during opening and closing and isn't too fussy.There is very little wasted space and the handles and wheels do not intrude very much into the interior. It's light and commodious, runs well on its wheels and the handles all feel sturdy and ready for years of use.I've just returned from a three day trip and I had more than enough space.Highly recommended.

Bought together with a Midnight Blue Samsonite Dlx S'Cure 75/28 also from Wardow - Germany. Have another two older Samsonite cases of a similar design that have been in regular use for 14 years+ but getting a bit tired and bruised now so time to replace. High quality spec as usual from Samsonite and worth the added expense in my eyes for peace of mind regarding strength & security. Would never buy a 'zipped' case, so this perfectly fits with my requirements. Comes with 5 year warranty so another plus point. Not very keen on the TSA key hole on the main lock for use by the American security agencies, but should they required to look in my case at least they wont have to rip the lock off - not a regular destination for me so not too bothered.All-in-all an excellent all-rounder. A point to note though regarding the description of this case - the capacity is 79 litres (69/25) and not 102 litres (75/28).

Both my wife and I got new smaller cases at the same time to comply with what seems to be a tightening up of allowances by some airlines. We did get different colours though, to avoid the risk of cross dressing at our destination. We checked these into the hold on an EasyJet trip but there seemed to be plenty of other passengers with cases of at least equivalent size in the cabin. So far only one trip but both cases performed well and stood up to the rigours of baggage handling with no more than a few scratches. The locks seem robust enough to withstand the risk of them breaking open in transit and the wheels are still on after being dragged over the cobblestones of Florence.The cases are light for their strength so don't absorb too much of the baggage allowance and they were big enough for us on a one week trip. Overall they live up to the good Samsonite reputation.
