Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This bag seemed too good to be true. Actually a few people have reported the bag cracking after just a few trips and that is exactely what happened to me. I didn't want to invest into an expensive piece of luggage and this bag seemed to fit the bill so I thought it would be good enough for me, but it cracked (at the sewing on the upper part) while it actually was stationary for a few weeks during one of my travels. And this was only after a little over 2 months of owning the bag and traveling with it: - 1 week of car travel - 1 month of travel where I took the plane 4 times and the bag stayed more or less stationary except for these flights - 1 month+ of travel where I took the plane once, the bus once and the rest of the time the bag stayed stationary for the whole time. I thought (hoped) it would last a little longer than that but now I pretty much have to find a new one after not even 3 months of (gentle and careful) use. The other problem I encountered is that it is slightly smaller in dimensions that what was advertised (limits of airlines checking bags). Another sad discovery for me, who wanted to pack as much as I could After I wrote all this y bag cracked open completely on one side (see the video), which means it's now unusable and I need to buy a new one, after just 3 months of use (most of which where the bag was stationary). NOT RECOMMENDED!
