Great carry-on. It arrived quickly and looks exactly like it did online. Lightweight and perfect for an airplane carry-on. I fit 5 days worth of clothes and toiletries, even a jacket! I checked my carry-on for free with plane-side and it was so easy to find on the luggage carousel because of its bright green color. I read some bad reviews for this kind of carry-on, but so far it has been great. The price is affordable and the luggage is durable.

i purchased this for my father for christmas. it's very well built and has plenty of pockets! it's perfect for a 4-6 day trip. i highly recommend altman luggage (if they are the seller listed)...i've purchased 5 different samsonite spinners from them in the past 3 months and have had no issues...i will definitely keep buying from them if i have to buy any more. i used their website to purchase the other 4 spinners and they definitely have the best prices on samsonites that i found...and free shipping if you purchase over $100 (which is easy when you're buying samsonite).

Cenzo Duffle Vecchio Brown Italian Leather Weekender Travel Bag Review

Cenzo Duffle Vecchio Brown Italian Leather Weekender Travel Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this bag for $200 on Amazon after finding the same or nearly identical bag for $300-$350 on other sites. The leather is high quality, beautiful and the bag is well crafted. The brass hardware is heavy duty and the bag is sturdy. What I love about the bag is that my shirts can go in without being overfolded, and they are easy to pack and unpack. Note that the zipper opens from the top in both directions and goes down to the base. A leather patch on both sides prevents it from falling open completely and provides sides for easy packing. This is standard on all expensive Italian luggage of this type, but unusual for a bag that costs less than $300. So this is well worth the $200 current price tag.
The only complaint I have is that the bag was crammed into too small a box for shipping and after I opened it up, it smelled of tanning fluids and glue. But after a few days of airing it out, the bag is fine. Annoying and almost worth knocking a point off, but I didnt because everything else is excellent as noted above.
Note that this bag is bigger than it looks on the page. But it would fit in an overhead compartment on most planes.

Olympia Blossom Hardside 3 Piece Luggage Set Review

Olympia  Blossom Hardside 3 Piece Luggage Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Not only is this luggage super adorable, and the cutest pattern I have ever found for luggage, it is very functional. I traveled with the carry on size for three weeks and it held so much stuff! The 360 wheels make airport traveling a breeze (you can turn it and roll it down the skinny walkway in the airplane) and it's really fun to roll and maneuver. Although on the downside (this is why it only 4 star) the luggage surface scratches easily. :( There is a plastic coating over it so the color doesn't scratch but the plasticy stuff peeled off in some spots. i'd also like to say too that I was doing some pretty rough traveling with it lugging it on some uneven streets in Seattle, so that also had a big part in it. Overall this luggage set was super useful and because you have storage on both sides of the bag it makes organizing really easy! I highly recommend buying this. I guarantee you will get loads of compliments as you walk with it! Happy travels!

Baggallini Wallet Bagg, Large Review

Baggallini Wallet Bagg, Large
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I carry EVERYTHING with me because I always need to be prepared like a girl scout, so I must have a lot of different partitions to organize it all. This tiny bag has five separate pockets, and room to put stuff between the inside pockets as well.
The drawback is one of materials quality -- eventually the material of the inner pockets began to unravel at the edges, so bunches of little threads kept getting caught in the zippers, meaning that you have to be vigilant about clipping them off with scissors. I don't know if that's the reason why, but after I used the bag for about a year, the main outer zipper fell apart, and the bag would just pop open randomly, usually picking wonderful moments like while I was crossing the street, and I would have to try to grab all my stuff off the ground before the oncoming traffic reached me. (It was a little like a live version of the old video game Frogger, so maybe I should say that this bag is "Exciting Entertainment!! -- Thrills for All Ages!!" ? Ha.)
Anyway, despite the zipper failure and the unraveling pockets, I still liked the bag enough to order a new one on Amazon, and hopefully this one will last longer. I've noticed references in the reviews to a couple of different kinds of material that it's made of, and I think I got the wrong one -- there was only one kind available when I ordered mine. Ah well. Fingers crossed.

This small backpack is cute in appearance, but poor in quality for the price. The handle does not stay up and is flimsy. The antennae get in the way of the zipper, which is small and makes it hard to get things in and out. If my granddaughter did not love it, I would return it for another type of backpack with wheels that we can really pack her things in when she travels. This is more of a play thing.

This product is perfect in every way except one, and it's a biggie. The main compartment does not open fully, or stay open by itself. So you need to hold the top open with one hand, while you hold and stow your belongings with the other. It's being returned for this reason.

I purchased this bag for my 14 yr. old son for our week long trip to Washington D.C. and it turned out to be more than adequate for all of his stuff plus having room for souvenirs coming home. The extra outer pockets come in handy for stowing last minute things and it handled very well everywhere we went. He received several compliments on it and really loves it(his is gray plaid). It is only about 11 lbs. so the weight wasn't an issue. Very happy overall!

Travelon Convertible Boarding Bag Review

Travelon Convertible Boarding Bag
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This messenger bag is great. I counted literally 12 pockets (including cell phone and water bottle pouches) on this bag. The main compartment is very spacious yet the bag looks no wider than any of the other Travelon purses I've owned!
I really like the material a lot more on this one. I have owned a total of 4 Travelon purses and all of them had lots of compartments and amazing material, but this one really takes the cake. The material is usually very thick and durable on all Travelon purses, but on this one the material is actually kind of stiffer, which I really liked. That means the bag won't fold and look weird in certain spots. It's almost like lunch box material, but not quite, and I'm not sure if that's what they were going for, but it certainly looks great.
The only con I could find was that I think the strap was really thin for how big the bag was. On other Travelon purses, the strap is usually very thick, but on this one that wasn't the case. I did like the fact that it was removable, so I took another removable strap, which was way thicker, and put it on this purse and voila! Much better! Other than that small qualm, it's great! We'll see how long the strap rings hold up over time though. I've had straps rip off on previous Travelon purses I've owned, so maybe the whole detachable strap rings is a better way to go.
The number of pockets is simply amazing and it is the perfect size. I will not buy anything above 9" in height or width because I refuse to be one of those ladies who carries a flipping suitcase around on her shoulder XD lol So if you want an extremely compact bag, Travelon is always the way to go, and I think this is probably one of their best ones yet. They just need to fix the thin strap problem and it's that much more awesome.
Another feature I really loved, and which I thought was an improvement from previous Travelon products, is the magnetized flap. They decided to put the magnets on the inside of the material instead of on the outside. My first Travelon Purse, I had the problem of the magnet coming clean off because I was always opening the flap so much and I also run around a lot so the bag would bounce. That put a lot of strain on the magnet, which there was only one of. Now Travelon is using two magnets per flap and putting them on the inside of the material, so not only does it look much better, it also functions much better at keeping the flap closed down.
Fashion-wise, I find Travelon's bags to be minimalistically stylish enough to wear with any outfit and you won't look too underdressed, no matter what the occasion. The material is durable, yet shiny and soft enough to not look trashy or too manly :) I highly recommend this product!

I used this on a recent trip and it worked as advertised. The bag was bigger than I thought it would be. I was able to put in the following items: netbook, ipad, ipod touch, GPS, several jewelry bags (sm), d200 with 80-200 lens - and I still had a some room left. It is quite easy to use. Instructions were easy to follow. You are provided 3 keys for the lock. I made sure other members of my family had the additional keys - just in case. Easy to carry in luggage. You roll the bag up with the lock and keys inside and an elastic band is provided to keep the package rolled up and transportable.

I bought this bag for a California-France trip, and regret to say that once it arrived in Paris, the frame was broken right next to the handle on one side. No damage to contents, but rather sad to think that it's more frail than it appears. Spinner-style case is nice, though its ability to slide down non-level surfaces takes some getting used to for those of us who haven't used spinner bags in the past. Overall, a nice-looking bag, plenty of space. Perhaps better purchased for non-airline travel?

Safe Skies TSA Luggage Strap - Blue Review

Safe Skies TSA Luggage Strap - Blue
Average Reviews:

Mine broke on its first flight, which drew my attention to the flawed choice of plastic for the buckle. The manufacturer needs to use metal instead of the current plastic for the "pass through" buckle in the strap, i.e the plastic part that facilitates length adjustments in the strap.
Manufacturer seems to be NY based, advertises a "lifetime warranty" on the product packaging... but my attempts to contact them (phone/website) for a replacement went unheeded.
However, the locking mechanism itself is decent; its housing is plastic, but seems fairly well built, and definitely more rugged than the pathetic "pass through".

This case is both sturdy and very light weight. If you compare the weight to other 4 wheelers, you'll be hard pressed to find another that is this light. It's also surprisingly roomy, holding as much as my previous 25". My other favorite features are the spinner wheels and the separate compartment inside. Those are musts for me. Great case.

Kenneth Cole Reaction Luggage Flap-Py Gilmore Review

Average Reviews:

I bought this because I had a similar Kenneth Cole reaction case that was finally ready to be retired after about 10 years. Note that this case is "buff", not shiny.
Only dissapointment was that the over-the-shoulder strap was not leather: it's mostly cloth, with one piece of cushioned leather (for comfort when it sits on your shoulder). I think this cheapens the look a bit.
Other than that, good looking. 3 separate sections inside. I keep my laptop (fairly large: an IBM Thinkpad T42) in one, paperwork in the second, and pens, phones, other small stuff in the front. Also has a separate inside zippered compartment, and an outer compartment (slip a newspaper into it) in the back.

I absolutely love this day pack. It rolls up very compact and stores in a bigger piece of luggage but is always available when I need it. I've used it on bus tours where bigger back packs wouldn't fit overhead or under the seats. I'm able to put two fleece pullovers (thin LL Bean ones), a compact point n shoot camera, maps and tour book, reading glasses, tissues, sunglasses, batteries, pen/paper, sunscreen, a compact umbrella, a bottle of water, a couple of snacks, and a bottle of Purell and Aleve in it with room to spare. I love the microfiber feel, too. I'm 5'3" and found no problem with the straps being too short.
