SamsoniteLite -Shock - Spinner S Suitcase, 55 cm, 36 l, Black (Black)

As a frequent flyer having a durable and light weight suitcase helps makes business travel that little bit easier. After owning this suitcase for the past 3 months I am happy to say this is an excellent product. Being extremely lightweight I find it very easy to manoeuvre around, having 4 wheels really does make a difference. Even after 4 round trips from the UK to Asia since owning it, apart from a very small & minor scratch my case still looks as good as new. The 69cm size might be a little two small for say a family holiday but for up to a 10 day business trip I find there is just enough space for everything I need. I would definitely recommend this case to both work colleagues and friends.

I been using it now for a couple of flights and seems to keep its shape quite well even I had it wrinkled couple of times by the beloved airport staff.Very light, the locks are quite good and even I was nervous about the stick handle, seems to go quite a good job.The only down part might be the zip, seems to be the weakest point, but no issues so far. I am always using it with a luggage strap.

This is a light suitcase, meets standard airline size, plus great Samsonite quality. I have now bought four of these, one for each member of my home. I travel a lot on business and it works great for me.

Very light suitcase.But after 3 journeys (1 per year) the hinge has broken - like all of the other 1 or 2 star reviews here.Contacted samsonite and mentioned that there are too many instances of this problem being mentioned on Amazon (and the samsonite website). However, they refuse to budge and insist I pay for the return of their dodgy product to be inspected by them to decide if it is their fault or not!From reading these other reviews, I can predict that samsonite will determine that it was caused by a 3rd Party therefore they are not liable (even though they couldn’t produce a suitcase that can withstand 3rd Party handling)Pity.It is a very light and spacious suitcase.Expensive too. too expensivEBadly designed/engineered/manufactured if it can’t withstand some airline jostling!

I had the older version of this case for just over ten years. It quite literally traveled the world with me, and wore more battle scars than any case I've ever know. Various airport baggage handlers had tried their best with it, and sometimes I retrieved it from baggage carousels with huge dents that would just push out. It had a great life, achieved amazing airline miles and looked fantastic.Then one day, packing up to return from the US, the handle jammed. It would go all the way in, but not pull out. The mechanism had broken, given up. It was no longer possible for me to trundle my suitcase in any easy way, and sadly I realised that it was time for it to retire. He's not been dumped, just relegated to the loft as storage.So this lite-shock is the replacement. It's been to the US, Belgium and Dubai so far. Just as good as the old one - but with one massive improvement: Silent wheels!

After a lot of comparison shopping this is definitely the lightest hardshell on the market at the moment and the petrol blue is a very nice colour. The Curve material does seem less 'hard' and more bendy than heavier cases so will be interesting how it handles a very long haul flight. Even packed with Xmas presents and more shoes than I should really take it still weighs only 17 kilos so far, well below the 23kg airline limit. Yes at over £200 it is expensive for a suitcase but I got it for nearly half the price on the Samsonite & most other sites. Unfortunately I had a lot of issues with delivery, with it not even dispatched on it's original expected delivery date, and was getting very anxious with my flight looming that it would not arrive int time. Luckily it did but do allow more time than the Amazon site says - it arrived 2 days late but that was with a lot of chats & calls chasing it and getting promises it was being fast tracked.

My previous and next size up Samsonite Lite survives after 19 years but a small tear is starting on one of the rubber external hinges. Hence my purchase of this one, albeit one size down. It's smart, quite big enough for my needs. - I always fill a suitcase rather than just take what I really need! - beautifully light and easy to manoeuvre. Very pleased. Cheap? No. But you get what you pay for.

Prompt delivery and well packaged. A wonderfully light four wheeled suitcase to match our other two in different sizes. It’s very robust and if it takes a knock in transit the dints just push out. It helps being able to pack each side of the suitcase separately with one side having a zipped lining enclosing your clothes and the other having two elastic straps. The wheels run very smoothly. Expensive but worth the money.
