I like that it (almost) matches my carry-on! And it was on sale! I like that it has a 10 year warranty, it’s lightweight, it turns well, and this check bag is large enough to hold everything I need for a three week trip to Asia. I don’t need a fancy designer bag. I just need something sturdy that will hold up and be easy to move since I’m short plus had shoulder surgery last year. Oh, and I do want my bag to look presentable. It does!I read reviews where some complained about scratches; I don’t care about that. Well, I’ve also read that they can be rubbed out with a little bit of fine cleansing powder too so I don’t believe it will be a problem. And you do have to peel off the protective plastic film first! Apparently some people had not.My matching carry-on looks good after five years with minimal scratches. So I expect the same from the 24 inch suitcase. I would be disappointed if it arrived with an obvious dent, but I would be disappointed with the baggage handlers: Oops.Realistically, I expect it to get banged around since it’s a checked bag, but it’s got lots of sturdy zippers to keep it together. Still, I bought luggage straps just in case. I’m pleased. Maybe I’ll update this after traveling and report how my 24” check bag survived.edit: This suitcase stood up to handling from Atlanta to Tokyo (plus a Japanese domestic flight) and back. I used orange luggage straps which help me identify it! But the suitcase’s zippers held up fine. I used the expansion zippers since I needed to squeeze it closed, and I still had no problems. I watched my case be loaded onto a JAL flight, and then again onto a Delta flight. Guess which was roughest? Go USA handlers. But realistically, I expected as much based on sheer volume. Think how many bags get moved each connection. So while the case ended up with a few black marks and scratches, I was able to remove the marks easily with a magic eraser. After flying close to 15,000 miles, I’m very pleased.
