The case also looks passable. But what has turned out to be for a longer trip now, the following points are:

1. The case is not rigid, on the contrary! Both the base plate and the lid hold out no great burden. And the aluminum frame are too thin and too weak to compensate for that. On a sloping, uneven pad can be laden suitcases no longer connect, then you have to support in accordance with the hand so that the locks can engage. And when you close it deformed the aluminum frame!

2. The surface is susceptible to scratches, abrasion of other luggage, etc.

For rougher circumstances (trekking, camper, camping, etc.) I recommend more robust, possibly ausgewiesenermaßen water and / or dust-proof products, especially since the case probably will not even halfway rainproof is (I have a good reason not even tested).
