If you travel and are tired of suitcases being broken or broken into, then this is your new best friend. Its boasts the exact dimensions that most major airline carriers allow for baggage- 62" (exactly 62.25"). besides if they complain- tell them to measure any large Samsonite- all of their large suitcases are oversized (before the expandable zipper is used)Now for the good stuff-Its mil spec meaning its really tough- not glamorized toughIts size is perfect and easy to stack. Not as long as most suitcases but a little wider.Has handles on three of the sides (great when you have a buddy helping you to carry it or load it into a car.Since the lid is closer to one side- everything stacks on one side. This can be a bad thing for those who carry things they like to use a divider for but I dont.The case has 5- count them- 5 latches that secure the load and 4 available areas to run a padlock. I use zip ties since they work great and also allow me to know someone has been in my suitcase. Plus you can order TSA approved locking latches that use a key and replace two of the latches on the case. takes all of 5 minutes to change and they work flawlessly (cost about $30).It has a nice handle that raises it to a perfect walking height.The wheels on the bottom are rollerblade style with real bearings. A total of 4 wheels allow this to glide on the most crappy airport parking lots.It also has a rubber gasket that surrounds the rim to make it water sealed. This may not seem all that big a deal until your entire suitcase is drenched because the bag packed above yours leaved all its cologne.Bad parts...You lose the nice 4 wheel spinner style that makes moving with your hands full in airports easy.It doesnt scream "Look at me - my suitcases match my shoes" (unless you wear black plastic shoes) :)Small price to pay for a box that can survive a war and still come out smiling. All the other so called rugged luggage companies can fling theirs around with a gorilla in a commercial and claim to be tough (took only a year to crack mine- twice). This iSeries will take that kind of abuse and laugh it off.Lifetime warranty with no BS- Icing on the cake.UPDATE- I ended up having two incidents with this suitcase, while traveling internationally. 1st was the TSA agent decided he forgot how to use a key and broke both of my TSA locks Id paid for. No biggie- used Zip ties as locks but latch was still good. Got home- called SKB and they sent me a new set- no questions asked2nd issue came from the handlers at the airport attempting to demolish my bag, by throwing it. Only thing it did was bend one of my axles. SKB once again, sent me a pair of replacements, free of charge.Since writing the original review, my bag has logged almost a million air miles internationally and I couldn't be happier. A few more scrapes since 2013 but Its still holding up extremely well. Zero issues, other than the two listedOne caveat that I did find out was that in certain airports, they automatically assume its "oversized" and it ends up on the odd sized/ oversized carousel versus the standard one that the rest of your flights baggage is on. Seems to always happen at JFK, EWR and MIA and hit or miss at LAX. Just look at one of the other if it hasn't shown up yet.
