Used this one time for a trip to France and not sure if it is rough handling by airline baggage handlers or quality issue, there were spots where seams just busted open as if the suitcase was dragged through the tarmac.  Dropped it off at the Samsonite repair center near me and they sent it back for a replacement, got a brand new one shipped to my house in 3 weeks.  5 Stars for the warranty.  I have other luggage from Victorinox and Tumi that lasted years without this issue, but they cost a lot more also.  To be fair, it is a fairly light suitcase that can carry a lot and easy to be carried around, the overall quality seems pretty good.  But if I could catch the sale on Tumi, I would rather pay a little more for a Tumi.
