HauptstadtkofferAlex - Set of 3 Hard-side Luggages Trolley Suitces Expandable, TSA, (S, M & L), red

These are absolutely fabulous suitcases. I bought a bright blue one two summers ago as I planning on visiting family in Canada in the September of 2014.During that time, I hired a car and took my mum to several places in the Ontario province including Niagara Falls to go wine tasting and Toronto for shopping, a dinner cruise on Lake Ontario and an evening of Cirque du Soliel! This bag was perfect for me as it is so light, yet so strong! Also, as a moderately physically disabled person, I found the wheels wonderful. I was able to effortlessly maneuver this case and had no problems whatsoever. It really was the perfect bag for me.Since that time, I have moved during the school year to work at a British International School in Spain, so this was the perfect robust bag that would withstand 4-5 return trips every year to and from the UK. This bag definitely lives up to the strength that is purported by the company. Yes sure, you get a few of the black marks from being handled and being forced along the black belts. But if you are seriously worried about that, you can clean them down and they still look fabulous.To be honest, I haven't bothered cleaning the outside of the bag - I can still spot it a mile away! There is no one else that has a bag like mine. Everyone else's is black, grey and boring!Well a few months ago they had the champagne coloured back on Amazon's Deal of the Day for well below what I paid for my blue one. I just made a decision and said YES. This September, my son will be joining me to do his IGCSE's at my school in Spain, so now he also has a lovely robust bag that we can bring to and fro for several years to come!I would definitely recommend this product for the frequent flyer!Please let me know if my review has been helpful. If it hasn't, please comment on anything that I can do to improve my review! Thanks!

I wanted a case that would stand out from the crowd and this certainly does! It has a lightweight hard shell that does flex quite a bit but having said that when it is shut and with contents inside it becomes pretty sturdy. I already have a Samsonite case myself which cost 3 times the price, however I now prefer this as it is so much lighter. The only issue is that it comes only with German instructions for setting the combination lock, however you can find an English translation on the web. It is easy to set once you find the instructions! There is what looks like a key lock but the suitcase does not come with a key so don't worry if you can't find anything - I think it must be something to do with the ability for the customs to be able to open it without breaking the combination lock itself!I haven't expanded the case to its full extent yet as I have not needed to. I easily fitted in all my 3 year old's clothes and toys!It did get some black marks on the case but these came off fairly easily - I used a car polish and it came up a treat! There was a small scuff down one edge but this is hardy noticeable and scuffs are to be expected. I definitely recommend the case for this price and in fact I have just this minute ordered another one in Applegreen this time for my wife, as she loved it that much!Lastly I have to mention the supplier as I stupidly left ordering this case until just 5 days before our holiday. The supplier is based in Germany. I sent them an email and they responded (in German)to say that they would get the case out that day. It promptly arrive 2 days later. Fantastic service. That's why I have ordered another one through them.

Cases are great to look at and nicely thought out inside with dividers and straps to hold everything in place. Outer shell seems tough. On the minus side, the handles (not the extending one for wheeling) are on one side of the shell as the two sides are equal depth, so carrying whilst full might be a little lopsided Also, a problem I see across the board from cheap to really quite expensive cases, the wheels look quite flimsy and I don't know how long they'll last in the real world! The cabin-size case has survived a trip to London, we'll see how the others do. Generally pleased with them.

Not as green as it looks on the picture but good quality.

The cases arrived from Germany 6 days after being ordered ideal, I had to contact the firm as the first delivery date was some 20 days however on contacting them via email the answer was both quick and helpful I found them polite and efficient and very easy to deal with. When the cases arrived they are ideal for our need, 4 wheels, separation panels inside and they expand if required. They fit nicely inside one another for easy storage. The instructions are however in German (Babelfish to the rescue as our German linguistic skills were not technical enough). We spent some time trying to find a key to set the lock ... be warned, there isn’t one. The trick is to look under the lock use a pen in the small hole you will find there. Set your code then click the lever this then sets you 3 digit number code. We never did find out what the key slot was for or indeed find the key. Overall very pleased with both the service and the product. Finally being bright canary yellow the cases should be easy to spot on the airport luggage lounge.

Don't get me wrong. The product looks and feels an excellent quality item. However, the packaging isn't good enough. It came with a few scratches on the body and one long deep gash along the body. I haven't returned the product as I can live with the few scratches, because after one trip abroad, I'm sure the suitcase will get a few anyway. Still unhappy about the long, deep gash, but have accepted it. Excellent quality product, but for the long transit delivery, needs more protection packaging. 5 star for the product, but 3 star for overall satisfaction.
