We chose this product for three reasons: 1)  We needed to receive it within 2 days prior to a flight.  2)  It had to be small enough to meet US Air's policy to be considered as carry-on luggage.  3)  It had to be a competitive price versus comparable luggage.  This product met all our demands.  Also, to my disbelief, my wife actually somehow squished everything she needed for one weekend business trip into this case (which is very small) in order to meet U.S. Air's policy for carry-on luggage.  I believe the only worthy competitor in size to this bag was the e-bag; however, I do recall the e-bag was more expensive & the delivery was not quick enough to meet our desire that particular time.
