> 3 dayThis is a very well-made suitcase. It is light and easy to pull through an airport. The wheels run smoothly and quietly. The adjustable handle works well. The carrying handle is comfortable to lift. The lock is easy to use. It allows you to keep your contents safe. The strong zippers work well. This durable suitcase will not scratch easily. It has enough room to be packed for a long weekend. The dark blue color is classic. It is easy to clean. It can be wiped with a damp cloth. This is a stylish and practical suitcase.

> 3 dayI got this to have a non-cloth suitcase for travel, and after inspecting I think it will work OK for domestic travel, but dont think it would withstand much international travel. The case is molded from a sturdy ABS, so it flexes and gives some like rubber, it is not rigid like some hard plastic shell cases, and this helps reduce its weight. The main zipper is a standard cloth zipper and offers decent security but could be easily opened with a pointed object. The TSA compliant pulley lock for the zipper is nice and should help it last longer than the standard ring opening most provide for a padlock to go through. The cart handle telescopes to a good height and feels fairly sturdy. The side and top handles are also sturdy and should easily support the case when fully loaded without any issues. The interior offers two main compartments, one with the standard elastic restraints for keeping clothes secure; the other has a zipper flap, which is a nice instead of just being hooks like most, so that smaller clothing and items can be secured. The only pouches are on the slipper flap, it would be nice to have a couple more in the compartments, but this is pretty standard for luggage this size. The 4 casters are the standard dual wheel design, and are plastic. Overall it is decent luggage for the cost and size and should work for domestic air travel or if taking a trip by car etc. i will get my use from it and update my review if anything noteworthy occurs.

> 3 dayThe 20 carry on luggage in blue is stylish and modern, and the spinner wheels make it easy to maneuver through busy airports. The expandable design is also very convenient, and the hardshell construction is durable and reliable. The 20-inch size is perfect for carry-on luggage, and it fits all of my essentials without feeling too bulky or heavy. Overall, I would highly recommend this luggage to anyone in need of a reliable and stylish travel companion.

> 3 dayI travel a fair amount and it was time to update my carry on bag. This is the first time Ive tried a hard side piece of luggage. So far, Ive been happy with it. Its definitely lighter weight than the bag Ive been using. Every little bit helps, especially if I have to check it in and have a weight limit.

Greater than one weekWe needed a second large suitcase for an upcoming trip. We have one large suitcase, so I compared this Strenforce bag to one from Travelers Choice (TC). This suitcase looks good and is lighter than the comparable one from TC. The cross belt on one side is elastic which I like. The TC one does not stretch its just an adjustable buckle. The seaming on both suitcase seems comparable. The Strenforce bag has plastic bumpers that run down one side of the bag. The TC does not. That said everything else is just a half step down in quality. The quality of the hardware (ex. zipper pulls, handles, wheels, etc) is just a step behind the TC. The wheels on this unit work very well but they are thinner than those on the TC suitcase. The plastic shell feels a bit thinner and is definitely a bit less rigid. The places where the handles connect ... I believe the hinges on the Strenforce are plastic while they are metal on the TC suitcase (see pic). The zipper pulls are thinner and less substantial feeling (note, I dont think this will affect usage, just noting it). The TC bag has an expandable zipper system so you can eek out a little extra space in the bag if you packed full on the way and came home with a few extra souvenirs you need to squeeze into the bag. All of that said, the Strenforce suitcase is significantly less expensive (currently under 100 dollars) than the TC bag, so, for the price, I think this is a good value on a mid-level bag.

Greater than one weekThis is a lightweight but strong suitcase. Airline employees may be able to break anything, but for its light weight it is quite sturdy.

Greater than one weekThis is a nice size, looks as good as my higher end luggage, and is lightweight. Holds more than you would think if you use compression and I like the extra compartment and the TSA lock. I was able to change the combination for the lock with the included instructions. The zipper has metal teeth and glides smoothly even if the suitcase is overloaded. A minor thing I did not care for is that the curved zippers needed to use in the TSA lock dont work as well if the angle is off and you have to think more than you should about how to hold the zipper. The handle is comfortable and locks into and out of positions well but there is a little more wiggle room in the handle than I would like - does not affect function so far but feels like it may worsen over time. This is just my opinion as I do not see anything that wasnt put together well or screws I can tighten there. The wheels roll smoothly in the spinner position but they are not good at all if you try to use on 2 wheels as they are very light and do not have weights that tip them into alignment like the high-end spinners have. This gets better but does not resolve as you put more weight in the suitcase. The wheels also do not roll well in situations where there is a large gap or step-up for the same situation - the wheels are also the only part of this case that looks cheap. I would say this is a decent carry-on for the occasional traveler and better than what you get for a similar price at big box stores. If you dealing with a lot of uneven surfaces, cannot lift the case briefly over gaps and curbs, or are a road warrior who needs long-term wheel durability, I would spend a little more.
