From Nov 25 through Dec 15 this case has seen 10 jet cargo holds, two Amtrak cargo holds, one bus cargo hold, three shuttle vans, one transit bus, four subway trains, numerous elevators, 14 flights of stairs, and about 3/4 of a mile of concrete and cobblestone sidewalks, parking lots, train, airport, and bus stations. THIS IS THE BEST CASE I HAVE EVER PURCHASED AND THE BEST VALUE FOR ANY PIECE OF LUGGAGE I HAVE EVER OWNED. Granted, it's only been a few weeks, but it has had a pretty fair workout. Great value and it cleans-up well.
