Somehow I lost the first comfort grip I had and could not continue to travel comfortably without one so I purchased this item.  After reading reviews of the 360 handle I decided to go with the one I knew and loved.  This item is great for easing shoulder fatigue and it also helps protect shoes when pulling your suitcase bumps against your shoes. If checking yur bag take the handle off and stick it in one of the pockets of the valise.
