Itchy, I bought this one last year and can highly recommend it. It's as light as a feather and is so easy to move. It spins in any direction you want it to, holds loads and hasn't marked at all despite being thrown around by several luggage handlers. It's coming to the Persian Gulf with me in March and now DD wants one too. Here's the link:

Thanks for the recommendation @cariad, OH could do with a new larger case...or so I keep telling him. Failing that I'll have a new larger case and he can have mine! Your holiday sounds lovely , are you off on a fly cruise?
Be careful with breakables in those cases, I've had a few things knackered by the handlers putting heavier cases on top of them, that's why I stick to the hard bodied ones.
That's what put me off getting one of the ultra lightweight one's Cog the hard shell are a bit heavier but they are tougher, also some of the lightweight one's aren't waterproof which you might think isn't important but if they're loading luggage into the plane here and it's raining it is relevant!
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right, the only difference is they're wrong
I've had hard shell cases up until I bought my latest one. My logic was I next to never travel with anything breakable, I rarely travel in the depths of winter when it is nigh on guaranteed to be pissing it down when the load your luggage and I do still have a small (ish) hard shell suitcase I could use if I wanted.
My last suitcase died last year. I bought it about 10 years ago in the sale as a cheapie stop gap "just for the one trip". I can't remember how much I paid but the carry on case in the same design was a tenner lol. They've both done exceptionally well. Pale ice cream pink. I cannot tell you how many boot prints I've cleaned off my poor suitcase over the years. Having a very pale suitcase makes you realise how brutal baggage handlers can be.
On our return from our last holiday both my sister's and my cases were absolutely soaked with someone's scotch, luckily as they were hard cases it hadn't gone through them but I'd guess the offending case was a soft one but at least it was after the holiday and not before

Yes it was rather smelly, I had to leave the case to air for a couple of weeks before it went back up in the loft, the contents of the offending suitcase must have been soaked in it

The Samsonite cases really aren't that heavy, especially the spinners.
Years ago we flew to Singapore, and when we got there, the Coglets case had taken a hell of a battering, right where the lock was, it was all pushed in. As soon as we picked it up, we went to the handling agent to show them. They said if we had to break it to open it, they'd replace it. When we got to the hotel, we managed to get it open, then the Coglet pushed it back into shape, it was as good as new, and we only got rid of it last year because we bought the new ones.
