This case was already having with the middle of nowhere. I originally bought it for a trip to the US because I wanted a sturdy case that really protects everything in it. Too bad that was not thought of a TSA combination lock here. I ended up doing retrofitted manually with a strap. My next trip took me to Australia and to New Zealand with multiple reloading. Here, the case has gotten a few scratches, but the content is still intact, as it should be. Also the luggage holds loose more than the usual in Economy Class 23kg. A larger suitcase is not only not necessary, but leads almost inevitably mean that one is confronted by intense pack with excess baggage charges. So it should not really be greater. Clear recommendation therefore from me for longer trips or the package holiday. However, be said to that one is better off for Work and Travel, etc. with a large backpack.
