Case in point

I had my eye on this luggage for a while. I wanted hardside, lightweight, spinner luggage and definitely wanted an accessible pocket too. This case meets those parameters. I've carried it onboard for 6 domestic trips and gate checked it once with no troubles. (I have also taken the next size up as checked bag and had no issues) I'm a packing cube user and find this bag a nice size for a week of travel. It should be noted here that I always travel with a down throw which takes up the same amount of space as one or maybe even two outfits. The side of the bag with the outside pocket must not be over-packed if you want to carry your laptop in that pocket without the chance of damage. It is not the type of suitcase that is easy to "live" out of due to the nature of hardside cases where the zipper splits the case in the middle. Which means that you need a large surface to open the case flat. (Usually, the floor) Take that into consideration when deciding between hard or soft side luggage. I rated 4 stars because of the deceptive space available (due to the outside pocket). Everything else about the case has been spot on for me. (Pictures are at a United Airlines baggage sizer)
