My bag is Neon Lime Green and when it is checked I can see it easily. While others are complaining about bag mixups and lost luggage, a LIME GREEN hardcase sticks out like a bright light! At [$]it is hard to beat!

I loved the lightweight suitcase. The handle is very weak. When it broke, I got it replaced. The next bag's zipper broke, but I couldn't get a replacement for it.

I love the look and weight of this luggage so much (I'm not very strong so the light weight is ideal for me) that I decided to see if there were other sizes. I found all sizes on the internet and purchased the additional ones. I'm a bit disappointed that I paid quite a bit more for the two I got at Brookstone because the same ones were available elsewhere for less but I'm not at all unhappy about the luggage!! And I especially love the "Taxi Yellow" color. So easy to spot! I use the smallest piece as a carrier for my 17" laptop and all the stuff I carry with it.

 
sleek and light
By world travelerVerified Reviewer from New York on 2/15/2008
Pros:
Attractive Design, Lightweight, Roomy
Cons:
Wears Out Easily
Best Uses:
Commuting, Traveling

High-end shopper, Stylish, Trendy
Primary use:

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I use the luggage as carry-on and its perfect for that. It fits in the overhead compartment. The interior space can fit enough clothing for a week. It's great for business travel. Some international airlines will force you to check it in even though it fits in the overhead. When checked-in, it can damage more easily. The first one I purchased got scraped along the sides when I had to check it in overseas. The airlines is replacing it. Otherwise, it's a really good buy, and makes traveling a lot more comfortable.
