Functional but easily scratched/scuffed/shredded!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a new large suitcase and settled on the large freeform spinner in white & gray. The functionality and packing space were exactly what I needed. It rolls nicely and it looks really nice, when it's new. What I wasn't expecting was how horrible of a condition it would be in after just 1 flight, especially when it's marketed to be SUPER resilient and resistant to damage. There are dozens of deep scuff marks and even a few areas where the case has shredded material hanging off it. I've attached several photos to show you what it looks like after doing my best to clean it up. So sad. The piece was brand new and this is how the outside is after 1 flight from NYC to Paris. I'm so disappointed, and it's actually a little embarrassing because the suitcase is made to stand out with the bright white on light grey, with the bright green accents. Such a pretty suitcase, until you use it. I flew American Airlines and they said they don't cover this because they consider it "normal wear and tear" and "customers assume the risk". I will continue using this suitcase, but only for private excursions where I can keep it hidden. I definitely will not be able to use it for overseas travel or when I need to look my best if appearances are important like a business venture or another stylish trip to Europe.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this in May of last year. In March of this year, the handle broke off. I tried three times to make a warranty claim through the designated "Chat" online, but couldn't. I won't buy another Samsonite suitcase nor will I recommend the brand to anyone else.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Spacious and sturdy. Happy with this purchase. One small complaint or suggestion is that inside you are able to zip one aide completely while the other one only has straps. Another zippered cover would help on that side
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is fantastic! I bought two of these since my husband and I were going on a 10 day cruise to the Caribbean. This model met our needs very well. It was designed inside to compartmentalization our clothes and items. The outside was very durable and still looks like new. Would buy again. Highly recommend.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Scratches all over on my new Samsung Freeform large lugguage to a Europe trip. Bad quality.

Absolute garbage. Wheels break after single use and Samsonite’s planned obsolescence strategy makes it virtually impossible to replace the wheels, preventing repair and forcing customers to purchase new luggage.
