Amsterdam Softside Expandable Luggage with Rolling Wheels, Orange, 25-Inch Medium

I purchased this case in early 2018, so have now owned it for six years. I used this case for six flying vacations, each of which involved the case being checked for anywhere from 2-4 flights (usually at least three), and also four cruises, which also entails checking the case with a baggage handler similar to an airline. I also used it for one weeklong road trip. Despite all the reviews calling the quality of this case flimsy, saying they don't think it would survive one flight... This case has performed remarkably well for me when considering the price point. It has survived the numerous trips outlined above (and being handled by baggage handlers) fully intact. The wheels still work great. I love the fact that it is two inline wheels, which performs better than the common four wheel spinner setup on any surface other than a hard flat floor. I attach my carry-on case to this case using a seperately bought luggage strap, and roll across all types of flooring and ground surfaces with no problems. After six years all the zippers still work. At some point one of the zipper tabs for the main zipper that opens the case broke, but not a deal breaker as I can still take the other zipper tab and just zip it all the way around. Other than that all zipper tabs are fully intact and functional, and none of the teeth are broken. I like the two pockets on the front of the case for storing things with easy access. The retractable handle still works fine. As other reviewers have stated, picking up the whole case by this handle is not recommended. The grab handles on the case are still attached and functional. Only after my most recent vacation did I notice some damage to the case. One of the corners has a slight dent in it that I cannot flatten out, and a little bit of tearing to the fabric. When considering the price paid for the case, I am very satisfied for how long it has lasted me. Not wanting to risk further damage, this case is being retired from air travel. But I will be keeping it and plan to use it for any road trips where I need to pack for more than a few days. At under $100, this case is a great value and I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't fly frequently.

Really nice suitcase. The color red is true to the picture in the posting. I have just returned from a trip to Faroe Islands - connecting flights both ways. The suitcase was nice and held up well. The only issue was the logo which arrived bent when we arrived at our destination. It's not a show stopper but the design should probably be improved. I have the smaller carry on size in grey (which is much darker than the picture) and I'll use that for my next 4 day trip. This medium suitcase was more than enough for the 9 day trip needing to take warmer clothes. The handle is sturdy. The locks provided were pretty flimsly looking and I used my own TSA approved lock. I definitely would buy again if needed.

I travel often (or at least did until COVID but the skids on open travel) and use a variety off luggage according to what type of travel. I mix it up between flying, Amtrak long distance, rented Rv's and of course motor vehicles. Often in the same trip. The 4 wheeled "spinners" seem the rage right now and I observe they can stay "upright when parked." They are the fad and personally, I think they are just that: a fad. In the airport's there are times when I need to MOVE and the spinners are too cumbersome to move quickly or efficiently. The two wheeled uprights remain the way to go, in my experience. I have some expensive hard sides, yet know how to pack a carry on (without being piggish about the overheads by bringing on a bag anyone with common sense should know violates the rules for carry on's, hint hint. I also own and use some "cheap" soft sides. I have several pieces of luggage and every one has it's purpose. An inexpensive soft side has it's use. Assuming you have nothing breakable inside, they can be tossed, stuffed in between other bags or into a car trunk and are lightweight and pliable. The zipper? Well, it seems like most zippers on suitcases these days. I long for the durable metal ones, but they (the manufacturers) want us to believe these are self healing.... Whatever. I paid less than $35 for this bag on Amzn and that was a steal. This bag hits the "sweet spot" in size as it is fairly portable yet packs a lot. Also, it is not a "high end" bag, but far from being a "cheapie" or "throwaway (I have one of those too). The interior has a nice lining and features a separate zippered "compartment" in the "lid" as well as two stitched pockets presumably for shoes. The outside pockets are ample. It weighs about 8.5 pounds empty which for a suitcase this sturdy is good. A person could get by with this as a carry-on on some airlines as long as you do not overstuff: Please just don't be a jerk about it by being one of those holding the line by struggling with a bag which you KNEW was too large to begin with. It's OK to check the bags. Again, I'm a frequent traveler and I go through suitcases. I like this bag. Is it the greatest? No. Is it a "cheapie?' No. But, I like it am satisfied with this purchase and would buy again without hesitation. A nice piece of luggage which checks the boxes for both size and price.

Very happy with this luggage bag. Good size for a week vacation. Strong material.

Good product

I bought this bag in February of this year in preparation for a cruise in May where we tend to take more clothes. I was very happy with the size and the functionality of the bag. Unfortunately, after just two transfers of the bag- Sea-Sfo and SFo/Fiji we found that when our luggage got to our room that the zipper was toast so disappointed we thought about just buying a cheap bag to take back with us, but just settled on safety pins duct, tape, and at the airport wrapping the bag. I’ve had a Eagle Creek bag of almost the same size and it just started to fail after 20 years of very active travel Very disappointed in the quality and I guess I’ll just have to spend a lot of money to get a better bag Ivwish i could get a refund but time had elspsed

UPDATE APRIL 2025: I ordered again in NOV '24 bc i saw they "changed" the wheels with "inline skating wheels". They sure LOOK like those but nowhere near, however - MUCH BETTER. But again, the original wheels lasted only a couple of months just traveling back-n-forth from work. I got much more proficient at cutting&changing those wheels so i took the chance with this new version of this luggage. It looks like it can only last about a year, but condition being you change the wheels a couple of times on it. Last 3 pics show how the new "inline skating wheels" wear out and split, and my method changing them. The easiest is to cut as much of the plastic wheel itself w/o hitting the bearings and the core. That will give you room to work in the new wheels. Original: I like the size of this, but even with Thanksgiving pricing is just not worth. I take my things to work in this carry-on (no tools, just walk to train & back). Used for approx. ~2 months or less and the wheels are splitting. The handle is quite wobbly in its track on the back of the case. Feels just like any other one-time use piece of chinese garbage. We have achieved so much in this world...Update 1/7/24: At this point this piece of "luggage" has become unusable. As you can see in the last 4 photos the wheels have split and wore off, they were getting stuck and i just ended up embarrassing myself as if i am homeless by dragging this piece of "luggage" behind me because wheels are not up to the task. All i did was just trying to spare my back and not put weight on my bad back so i was hoping i can just roll my work uniform, my lunch, and a piece or two of extra clothing if needed for bad weather. Just rolling from home to train station to work then reverse sequence. This piece of "luggage" cannot withstand the basic task for which it was, supposedly, manufactured. Now, i have to rush shopping for another piece so i can protect my back. Thankx for nothing. I would like a reimbursement, please.

Worked Very Well, including rolling over cobblestones for 2 weeks (this time). Prime Day pricing was very nice. Wanted something smaller than large for easier transport on a train trip through Europe. Strap to attach another bag was a big selling point. Used extensively for my carry on and made it much easier to pull one luggage, not two. I prefer soft side and the two wheel design, seems more space for clothes, etc. Held up very well, even got miss sent on my 1st leg airline and the bag caught up to me in good shape. On the trains in Europe - 6 cities - used public transport, so was pulling over cobblestone to/from hotel using public transport off/on busses, trams, etc. -- still seems to be in good shape -- so it seems sturdy. [this time: ordered the same bad for another trip and the handle failed to go in/out after one easy trip -- returned with the 30 days, so understand the 1 star reviews. This time as soon as I got it I unzipped and examined the handle in/out hardware and made sure all looked well manufactured]

Buscaba una maleta para un viaje largo, con buenas ruedas y buen precio, esta reunía todas las condiciones. Tela gruesa y resistente, buenas cremalleras, buenas costuras y buenas ruedas

Great case easy to move
