Having used this case now for just under 3 years I can truly say I’m impressed.I’m a frequent international traveller, and so far this case has ‘endured’ over 200 flights – that’s a lot of uncaring baggage handling, conveyor belts, and maybe the odd drop or two behind closed doors.However the case hasn’t missed a beat, the handle extends, stays put, and retracts as requested, the wheels rotate and spin as they did on day 1, and the zips are great – although one lost its pull tab bit a few weeks ago. There are scratches on the exterior, but that’s not the case’s fault.Wouldn’t hesitate to purchase again!Both suitcases arrived in the same box one apple green gloss the other gloss yellow,very fast delivery, these cases are german made they seem to be very well made with four wheels on each courner of the case two grab handles one at the top and one on the side and four studs on the opposite side for resting on the floor, the extendable handle its in the top of the case and it is easy to push or pull, inside the case is lined with one zipped compartment which is netting type material that also has two plastic push fit clips to seperate your clothes etc, in the top section of the case is a holding strap with two plastic clips to hold the top section of clothing etc. The built in combination lock is easy to set to your own combination. i translated with the help of google set the no's to 0 all three then you neen a small phillips screwdriver and push it gently into the right hand hole opposite the no's untill you hear a click choose your nos for the combination then gently push the screwdriver into the left hole untill you hear a click the no's should now be set try it out. I will let you know how the case holds up to an airport battering when we come back from summer holiday.Very good. Not as sturdy as perhaps hoped but did a great job of a recent trip to Mexico via London. So four flights in all and it came in especially handy in the madness of Cancun airport. Being able to see your case from 100 yards to where it's been randomly stacked probably saved hours.As soon as it hits the baggage carousel you can immediately sit back and adopt a chilled nonchalance whilst everyone else is on point looking to fight over cases. There's no mistaking this case.Also the wheels have amazing action on them. I enjoyed just rolling it around. It goes for miles with a gentle push.The key-lock thing wasn't nearly as complicated as feared either.The case will scuff up pretty bad but that's to be expected and indeed it's nice to see a case that has clearly been somewhere.Great and good value.First impression: yikes not a good orange until I realised there was a very fine, almost unnoticeable film over the plastic part of the case. Once removed, a wonderfully rich and very shiny orange appeared which I love. Having had an old faithful Delsey suitcase for 30 years, I needed something a bit smaller and it took a long while to decide what to go for. This case feels quite flimsy as it's very lightweight but having been on 3 flights so far it's still looking great. Couple of black scuffs came off with a bit of polish. I am very pleased with this suitcase, it's incredibly good and sturdy quality for the money. Best bit of all.....no way would anyone try and sneak this off the conveyer belt without me noticing :)Took this for a trip to the US, 3 flights there, 3 flights back plus some road trips inbetween. It got beat up a little but is still working perfectly fine. I had it completely stuffed full so it was heavy. I reckon that is why it got beat up a bit as it'll have been lobbed about. My last case from a no name company did not survive the same trip last year, despite being not as well packed and thus lighter. I strongly recommend this case. It is worth the extra expense. They obviously used a better plastic in the construction that lets it take the beating without breaking. Cheaper cases split, particularly around the wheel mounts, this makes them useless. This one didn't.DO NOT get this if you don't like to see scratches on your case. The glossy finish shows up every scratch or scuff. (I personally don't care, it adds character!)
