I wanted to love this suitcase and it certainly has some nice features.  The wheels are silent and the pocket is groovy but ... As you are loading items into the outer pocket smaller things can fall through the gaps in the nylon and it just simply isn't worth the asking price.  I think it is "pretty" at best and really overpriced at worst.  I wish I had saved nearly $100 and bought the Delsey bag with the external pocket.  Having a handle ONLY on the top is infuriating too.
