I purchased this 20" spinner suitcase because of its extreme lightweight design, and the Samsonite brand. During my first trip using this case the telescoping handle snapped right off the case. There are 4 small plastic connectors that connect the handle to the case, and they look to have all broken clean. I took a look at a non-broken one and the connectors do seem fairly sturdy. I may have gotten a "lemon", but I cant recommend it.
I don't like to check my camera and gear for it, nor my tablet. But, I have too many bags when I carry those separately, plus a purse. This lovely, lightweight case will hold it all, and is ready to easily wheel onto the plane as my carry on bag! I love the color, maneuverability, size, and weight! Great for me!

Great suitcase at first. I bought it to have a long lasting piece of luggage to replace my cheap cloth carry-ons. My wife and I each bought one. Both have broken in under a year. The handle of one got jammed and will not retract. The other had the outside case crack. The warranty covered the handle but not the crack. The warranty sounds great at 10 years, but how is the "durable" casing not covered?!?! Do not waste your money or fall for the warranty claims!
Probably one of the most lightweight in the market built using polycarb (well, you pay a few $$$ more for polypro, and samsonite does have a few.). I am very very satisfied, except the color. I ordered what they call "metal silver" and the photo does show a shining silver metal bag, but the actual bag looks greenish blue -- way off from the photo...
I take trips to see family and for business. The only down side is no special compartment for my laptop. I thought long & hard before getting a hard sided case instead of a soft one that has an exterior pocket for things I need to reach often at the airport. Wallet/phone and so on. I try not to also carry a purse when traveling. Ultimately I decided to get the hard sided case for better physical protection of my belongings. I slip my laptop in the middle between the zipped up clothing compartments. I do like that the zipped up compartments keep things in place. I do wish it had more small zipped compartments so that I can keep some things separate, like undies and so on. It is ultra light weight, which I like a LOT. And it is good looking, very strong, and I can tell which bag is mine because of the color I got. All in all, I really like it. The lack of an exterior small compartment seems to be the norm for hard sided cases, so I think it's just something you have to decide when choosing hard cases vs. soft ones.

Great suitcase! The only con, since its hard, it doesn't have an outside pocket for easy access of documents, books, etc. that you might need have handy. It is light weight and easy to maneuver and fit everywhere!
