Used it for the first time a couple weeks ago.  Went with a tour group out of Utah to Washington DC and NYC.  Case was loaded and unloaded several times on airplanes and bus. Into hotels and back on the bus.  It has several scratches and dings from this single trip.  I am very disappointed in Samsonite.  Thought this suitcase would be better quality.  Holds tons and handles easily.  Outside finish not up to par.
