Samsonite Classic 2.0 Wheeled Business Case, 15.6 inch, Black

This bag is large, well designed and build, and built with quality materials a great purchase!

I bought this rolling briefcase as a replacement for the older model (wheels fell apart and can’t be replaced). It has a lot of compartments and pockets, and fits a large laptop, files, books, writing utensils, etc. The only drawback is that it arrived smelly, like a strong plastic odor. I unzipped everything and have been airing it out so far for a week. My only hope is that it lasts as long as my last one, which was about 9 years.

Wanted a simple carryon type bag. This is supposed to be a briefcase. Not a high-quality briefcase but is marginally higher in similar sized carry-on bags. The handle is junk. Only sufficient for short walks within an airport. I use high quality for real business briefcases with highly reliable handles. (My current one has lasted nearly 30 years. This one is good enough for 3 to 5 personal trips likely.) It satisfied my need. Smaller carry-on that was fairly easy to use for a few personal trips. Do not recommend for the serious traveler or business user. It's worth the highly durable business travel gear from professional brands. (Not designer brands. Those too are a joke. There are only a few factories. Is color or icon important?) Focus: wheel structure, safety, expandability, weight, and quality of the materials. For business, I want adaptability, low weight (there is no such thing as elevators in out of trunks, overhead compartments, or the stairs typically at every major building), safety, long life, and reliability even in city sidewalks. (Samsung would only survive about 3 business trips.)

I had a bag just like this one for years and it finally wore out. If this bag lasts as long as theprevious bag I will retire before it wears out.

I bought it to use it as a carryon on a plane. It cannot be locked. It makes no sense to hqve 3-5 zippers and none can be locked. I bought a lock with a super thin shank but even after somwhow managing to squeeze it in the zipper pulls, I worried that airport people would pull the bag by the lock - and tear the zipper off. This laptop bag is only good for ground transportation and when you are not worried about security. Another thing that annoys me is that the two handles cannot be velcro-ed together. The handle is in between them making it difficult to join them with the after market velcro handle cover I bought (Travalon). My 15y Delsey ruined me for any product not well thought-out. Samsonite can and should do better.

This is my second one - first one lost wheel bearings that made it noisy and less smooth to pull and the handle was harder to collapse. But it lasted for almost 7 years, so...

Very durable.

Works great.
