Owned 3 Freeform Large Spinners - Scratch galore

I currently own 3 Freeform Large spinners and have traveled extensively with them. The scratches on the exterior is just something you have to get over. I mean, they are beautiful beforehand and all scratches will become very visible after light use. The wheels of one cracked, the zipper broke on another, and the handles have been doing pretty well after multiple usage. If I knew it would scratch this much, I would probably have opted for a more rubber exterior. I currently have the Freeform carry-on and when they went to check it in, I reached out like NoOoOo to avoid the scratches. Wonderful suitcases just be prepared to get upset at the scratching.
P.S. After uploading my photos, I am embarrassed that I was checking these suitcases in with the scratches.

We purchased all 3 sizes looking to replace some older luggage.We recently used the Med sized bags for our trip to Europe. It appears the matte finish isn’t very durable and shows every single scratch on it. The stippling design easily scratched ed and flakes not the best look for a brand new bag. The rubber trim is somewhat flimsy as well. When we arrived back to our home airport one of the bag’s rubber trim was all bent out of shape from being transported or who knows what the TSA baggage handlers do to your luggage behind closed doors. Still the product should be designed to anticipate such rough handling especially from a manufacturer like Samsonite who used have a commercial stating not even an angry gorilla could damage their product. I guess those days are long gone. Lesson learned, a well known product name no longer means anything when they do not uphold their reputation.

I just got this pretty luggage at the recommendation of a friend. On my first trip with it, I checked it at one airport and picked it up two hours later at our destination airport and the zipper pull was missing. This is not inexpensive stuff! So disappointed.

This is an amazing luggage, great size, durable, wheels are so smooth, and modern beautiful colors. Unfortunately, on my International travel, the TSA 3-dial didn't work for TSA officials in London. They tried to use all their keys to inspect the luggage, they called another guy with more keys, and none opened it. They had to use pliers to break the zippers, to open it. Now, I do not know what to do because I can zip the luggage fine but the locks are not functional at all.

Used the medium sized luggage for only about a year and a half traveling back and forth from my college town to my home. The last time I came home the zipper popped open and split the luggage open while in the luggage was in the carrousel. If I hadn't put the zipper lock in place, it would have fully popped open and I would have most likely lost all of my belongings. Definitely not as high quality for the price, and something I wouldn't recommend buying.

I had this for about 4 years. Its outer shell held up well, with only a few minor scratches. The wheels kept on rolling making it easy to move. I travel for family and vacations. I flew about 6 times a year. The zippers did not hold up well. The part you grab fell off. I tries to get it repaired and or the piece replaced, but very frustrating getting anyone competent on the process on the phone. I utilized the online process, which had me paying and or driving over an hour from my home to drop off. I purchased 30 minutes from my home, although only certain locations permit drop-off for repair. I expected better from Samsonite.
To be honest I love the design pretty much, it is light, fashionable, however, the material used for this luggage is not durable enough! very easy to get scratches!!
Got this in blue one month ago. Looks like a disaster after one trip. Totally scratched up. Wish I hadn't got the whole set (two large and two medium).
