When the question arose as to what kind of briefcase is for rail travel and court dates I had to choose from the viewpoints of quality, durability and price, a friend suggested to me before this briefcase. The benefit is for me very clearly in the life: Is a Lederköfferchen a scratch in the leather (inevitable when inserting the suitcase in the luggage rack), then he is shabby to look at. Does this happen with such a leather case, it is admired as a "patina". The bag does not affect very large, but has a MacBook and several A4 Stapler enough space. The zippers I trust to not much, but it is supposed to hope. Note to owners of an iPad (or a Korea-replica): The large top pocket is not big enough to house a pad, but there is a compartment on the back of the bag, closed by a zipper, into which fits the iPad - thus everything relaxed :-) I am happy.
