Birmingham Ballistic Nylon Expandable Rollaboard Luggage, Red, Carry-on 21-Inch

I travel 80% of the year and i was surprise with the quality for the price!

Photo is somewhat different than what I received, but not greatly different. I really like this carry-on. It is not of the same quality of the carry-on I had that this replaced (that piece lasted me 18 years), but for the money, I feel this one is a good value, and it is very nice quality. I have used it on half a dozen weekend trips and a trip to Mexico in two locations. No problems. I expect it to last a good ten years with reasonably heavy use.

This seems like an extremely well made piece of luggage. I prefer the in-line wheels and appreciate having lift handles on three sides. I drop one star because I cannot understand why the designer chose to make the front pocket less convenient to use.

This case fit perfectly in the airplanes overhead bin and love the red color since it is easy to spot. Holds plenty and has several pockets to put your things. Wish the lower zipper pocket on the front opened different to make it easier to put something in it. But overall love the case.

excellent! even has a front pouch where you can store your wallet and/or passport for easy access. Good sturdy quality and size should fit most airline requirments.

Just received this bag and am very impressed. Only giving it a 4 now since I havent used it yet. The 3 reviews titled Fantastic carry on, Better than great bag - buy it A great buy! I definitely recommend are very descriptive & I agree with most of there comments. My additional comments, from my engineering stand point are: 1) I dont see the handle as being that more vulnerable than any other & it does extent to 2 positions, 37 & 42. 2) As stated previously the top pocket zipper could be caught on things and tear up and it is a good location to stick small items in, not large enough for a Kindle, but I plan on removing the tab since I plan on checking it & its easy to open without it. Ill be using another carry on with it. 3) As stated in the other review the lower outside pocket would be great if only the zipper went far enough to open it all the way up. The pocket runs from the top of the bag to the bottom, about 16, but the zipper only allows about a narrow 5 opening. Probably wont use it anyway. 4) Since Im on dimensions, the bag, empty & closed, actually measures 21.25 X 14.25 X 9.5 or about an inch more when it is expanded to 10.5. So slightly over the 22 X 14 X 9 standard airline dimensions, but since it is soft sided, it should easily fit into the check boxes at the airports. 5) Overall I find the quality to exceed my expectations plus the retracting hideaway name tag on the side by the handle. After my next 4 flight trip Ill update comments and maybe upgrade to 5 stars if it performs as I expect. Hope this helps.

This suitcase, and its companion carry-on, has survived multiple trips in the US, China and Europe. Chinese airport baggage handlers seem to be very good at wrecking bags, and so far its still in one piece. I like that it is a roller, not a spinner, as the wheels are more protected in a roller.

Made well and looks great. Is smaller than I wanted but that is my fault for not paying attention to the deminsions.

Good quality with good look. The only thing I do not like about it is the strap structure inside...

Suitcase was meeting my needs until the extendable pull-behind handle would not go back in without unloading everything and having to force it back down into the suitcase mid-way through my trip. Only way to use it now is to either carry it every where or use brute force to get it in and out. Of course, this happens the day after the last day to return it.
