When I first saw it, I liked that it doesn’t have zippers, those always seem to break on me. Instead, it’s got a strong metal frame and a hard plastic shell that feels tough but isn’t as heavy as I thought. The black color looks nice and classy, though I’ve noticed some tiny scratches after a couple trips but that's to be expected. It also came with a cover to protect it, which I’ve been tossing on to keep it from dust when not in used. The built-in locks are cool, easy to set and use, and they’re TSA-approved, so no worries about security, and seriously I don’t miss the zippers at all.What I Like:> Strong: It feels like it can take a beating. No dents or cracks yet!> Neat Stuff: The no-zipper thing, charging ports, and cup holder make it feel fancy and useful.> Easy to Move: The wheels and handle make it simple to roll around, even when it’s full.> Safe: The locks keep my stuff secure, and they’re not hard to use once I figured them out.> Convenience: the separate compartment for laptop and iPad is super cool. I can quickly retrieve my electronic devices and put them back everytime I go through security.The trade-off:> A Little Less Room: The laptop pocket is nice, but it cuts into the space inside so I’ve had to pack somewhat lighter.> Feels Big: When it’s packed full, it seems a little bulky but it hasn’t been a problem on flights yet.I’d recommend my friends to get this suitcase if they travel a lot and want something sturdy and cool. It’s awesome for quick trips or work stuff, and it keeps my phone charged and my hands free. If you don’t need the laptop spot or pack super light, maybe something simpler would work. However, for me, it’s made traveling a lot easier and less stressful.
