I got in on this just before the price jumped over $100.
I happened to have been in the market for such a bag and was about to pull the trigger on the Amazon basics one when I noticed this. Thanks.
just took it for a test drive today. By the time my trip is over I'll have tried it on 4 different aircraft.
TL:DR version: it's a gorgeous looking, luxurious feeling briefcase but has some serious flaws as a carry-on .
Now for the review: it's basically an oversized briefcase clipped onto a trolley. I'll post some pics after I get home.
From rear to front.
It has a double zippered sleeve to slide over a larger suitcase when not using the trolley.
Then large pocket at the rear with a separate laptop sleeve insert. I don't really see the point, but they tout it as TSA friendly... Who doesn't have TSA pre
The next pocket is your "office pocket" with a bunch of different document, card, and pen pockets.
After that, is the 2 inch expandable zipper, followed by a slim full size pocket on the front of the bag which I found convenient for my laptop.
Lastly, 2 side by side small front pockets meant for cellphones and the like. This pocket has a pretty serious flaw, since the "clasp" is a fake buckle magnetic button which opens fairly easily.
The trolley overall feels flimsy and poorly designed.
The wheels stick out a bit on each side of the bag and seem to constantly get caught on corners and aircraft seats. Surprisingly, it fit on a 200 overhead when place face down, wheels out.
The clips also seem like they can put too much strain on the bag
