Centric 2 Hardside Expandable Luggage with Spinner Wheels, Caribbean Blue, Checked-Medium 24-Inch

Love the color. Got a great deal. These have held up perfectly over the past year to many many trips, TSA, and baggage handlers who treat your items with the utmost care and respect (/sarcasm). Very light weight, so they aren't eating into that 40/50 lb airline weight limit before they steal more of your precious money. Love the simple 3 digit lock code, keeping everyone out of your personal items except TSA and those who can guess your combination of 1-2-3, your birthday, etc.

I have used these for a couple of trips, and very happy so far. They are a very nice quality and look good. I ordered the Caribbean blue, but it looks more like teal to me. The expandable zipper feature is very nice to have. The set is 3 pieces and I haven't used the largest size yet. The large suitcase is huge. If I filled it, I would need help to get it in my car. The smaller two pieces are perfect for 3-5 days. The middle sized is big enough for all clothes, and the smaller one for toiletries, gifts, etc. I should have only bought the two suitcases, but the price for 3 is still good enough to go ahead and get the set. I have used the two smaller suitcases for a road trip and stayed at a hotel. These two cases were real lifesavers at a hotel. Easy to pack the car, with just two cases and my purse, and then easy to manuver into the hotel. I didn't need any big rolling cart. The wheels were very good, even on carpet down long hallways. It made traveling by myself very easy.

Very nice luggage easy to roll seems good quality. Only just got it so we’ll see how it holds up to the airlines. Lol

This is my first Samsonite luggage bag and my first hardside clam shell case. The design is elegant and the Emerald Green is a beautiful color. The expandable part is a great feature cause it does allow for a lot more luggage. The USB battery bank is a great idea and the case seems pretty resistant to scratches. The wheels seem to be an upgrade compare to other models of a similar price. The size is a little smaller then 22x14x9, it is more like 21x13x9 and expands up to 21x13x11 COMPARED TO SOFTSIDE: From the exterior is looks much smaller than a typical softside, but fits just as much. The clam shell design makes it more difficult to really pack this thing tight, you have to fill both sides separately and then fold it together. There is a possibility that there is a void between the two halves or it doesn't shut from over packing, but this is the case for all hard side luggage. Also when opened it just takes up a lot more floor space, especially if you in a small space The reason for a four star review is that there is some play on the telescopic handler like other reviewers have mentioned, I am going to try to see if I can modify it. Also the wheels are really fluid and nice, but I have a feeling they might not be that durable, if you squeeze the wheels together there is some give. There is also no TSA lock built-in like the previous model. As of now, I would recommend and I am buying a second one in navy. Only time will tell regarding durability. Will report back.

We love Samsonsite suitcases! This carry on can fit a lot and holds up during a lot of travel. The zipper and wheels are sturdy.

Just got off a 7 day cruise to Alaska, and decided I needed a suitcase upgrade, as my old 2 wheel duffel would barely close on the contents, returning. The Samsonite arrived intact, big and beautiful, just as pictured. The wheels, locks, extendable handle and zippers all work smoothly, so am good to go. I've read the surface scratches, which is disappointing, but a hard case that doesn't simply does not exist, I think, as the reviews on all the other models noted they did, as well, so just have to live with it, I guess. As long as it remains in one piece, and contains the contents, with working wheels and zippers, I'll be satisfied. The lock system seems a little fragile, just being the zipper tips inserted into holes, with a latching bar running thru it. However, it's not a concern for me, as my duffel had no lock, and I never pack anything other than clothes, toiletries and a book or two, so not a prime target for potential thievery, I think. Overall, I really like it, at this point. I'm hopefully traveling to Kenya in February, and will return to edit this review when I return.

Very good quality well made , price affordable, got o good deal

I'm giving this a conditional 4-star review and reserving final judgment for after my international trip in a few months. As for my straight-out-of-box thoughts: I saved some money by buying a used set of three (20" 24" and 28") cases (listed condition was great/like new so for half the listed price I thought that was a good gamble). They came delivered in an Amazon box—not the Samsonite packaging—which was clearly noted on the sales page for the used set. They arrived as advertised: they look brand new and are in perfect condition. The three cases nest inside each other for convenient storage and are very lightweight. However, as I set the TSA lock to my personal code* I noticed how much give there was to getting the zipper handles to fit perfectly in the lock slots. I had to fumble a bit before I could lock them properly. So 1) it wasn't super easy to lock the zippers and 2) I was disheartened at the "flimsiness" of the case. There are quite a few reviews of this set that show the cases being caved in so now I understand that's a legit possibility. I'm hoping the flimsy feel is simply that polycarbonate has give (everything I've read states it's designed to be flexible and is known for not breaking) and that if something does happen in transit it will not break (and perhaps can be pushed back into shape??) Fingers crossed nothing will happen! Honestly, I currently have Samsonite carryon luggage that my family has used for about 10 years both as carryon and checked, and they are still holding up strong and look good. If I could have purchased the larger sizes of the carryons I already have I would have done so in a heartbeat. I'll update my review after I get back from two weeks in Europe which will include two long-haul flights, a short flight, a bus, perhaps a train, cabs and typical car-to-hotel sidewalk terrain. * Re changing the TSA lock code: I did not receive any instructions on how to set the lock (perhaps due to being "used"?) so I Googled it — it comes set to all zeroes; simply insert a pin in the pinhole next to the code dials and keep it held down while spinning the dials to your preferred code. Release the pin, spin the dials and then try your new code. It should open right up.
