Cheap Handle - like others have complained

The retractable handle broke at the beginning of a 3 month European trip! The difficulty of traveling with no handle and no way to have it repaired without buying a new piece of luggage (defeats the point of the warranty). I am not going to repeat what others have said. Basically, the handle did not hold up under the weight. It snapped in the airport. UGH. Getting it repaired/replaced internationally has not been easy. Help!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought a medium Outline Pro (and two carry on size) for an international trip which we just completed. This suitcase was a great buy and held up very well. In fact, it looks brand new. No scratches or dents even with the hard use of an international flight. It is super roomy and has an extra zipper to expand even more if you need it. .The wheels are sturdy and it is easy to guide. It's not the lightest suitcase around but it is well worth the extra ounces. I wholeheartedly recommend the Outline Pro for any travel needs.
Bought this not long ago. On the second flight it came out scratched and scuffed, which I can accept. But there is also a puncture in the upper corner that has left a lip. Now I'm afraid of that spot getting caught again and the puncture being ripped further open. I didn't notice until after going through customs and immigration. After that the airline didn't want to hear about and has refused any compensation.
Bottom line: It's a great bag, but check it carefully for damage before leaving the baggage claim area.
I have now used this on a round trip flight America to Greece and back. All the zippers have held up as well as handles. I love the inside organization pockets. There is a roomy wet pocket portion that stored all my lotion and sunscreen bottles well. Very spacious and as of 6/18/2023 met the dimension requirements for international and domestic flights in Greece and America. The wheels held up being lugged over cobbles stone streets and I don't notice any smells from shoes and laundry. I appreciate the hardshell for waterproofing and had adequate handles on the top and side for lifting. A great simple design on the suitcase as well.
With one trip made, overall it is a good, if not great, suitcase. I purchased it due to Consumer Reports giving it a top rating, however the exterior already is showing scuff marks and the construction (particularly the retractable handle) are not has robust as I had hoped / imagined it would be.
The lugage handle broke at the first use. Very beautiful, but very fragile lugagge unfortunatelly.
