At first I asked myself the questions whether Peli or B & W.
I had only Peli Case 1510 in his sights, just then I had seen the B & W and thought to myself, which is cheaper and a little bigger.
Had I then looked at him with pocket freak and found that the case is higher than the Peli.
This was also one of the reasons why I have decided for the B & W.
What all should be pure you can see below.
Delivery:
I had ordered him on Monday evening 08.11.2010 at Flohr industry needs and get I got him already on Wednesday the 10.11.2010 'what I call a fast shipping.
The scope of supply is very limited. Drin was a plastic bag where the suitcase was packed and a whole bunch of one piece.
Set Up:
As I ordered it with the flexible partition system was set up very quickly.
First time had to get the estimated 100 one piece.
Then I was able to adapt it wonderful, stylish.
This took about 30 minutes.
'Comfort':
He has a total of three very sturdy handles to left, right and front.
The handles are partially encased in rubber thus is wearing very pleasant with around 16Kg.
However, the grip of the trolley is a joke. This wobbles over the tails of my dogs when what have to eat.
You somehow feel that was built later on it and not really part of the remaining cases. Here B & W should quickly rectify.
The two ball-bearing wheels are very good on a smooth floor, but unfortunately they have left and right a little play, so they can move easily.
Dimensions:
Inside dimensions: 535x360x245mm
External dimensions: 590x430x285mm

This I find very good, because you usually have to pay extra something.
What I hope to send me the parts and I do not equal needs to send the whole suitcase them.
Final Conclusion:
One thinks 535x360x245mm in dimensions that it is relatively large, but if you have then seen him once in Natura it falls still extremely small.
I'll keep it for the time being in any case until it is me absolutely too small.
It offers a lot of advantages that a backpack or a bag did not.
What is clear is that it is stable, almost indestructible, waterproof and you can put it to good cheer also.
But the decision to advance must be very careful.
Since it is therefore very inflexible and can thus immediately noticeable everywhere.
