Lowest ive seen this suitcase in ages. They also have the 75cm version for $260 and the 81cm version for $280. sale is only in stone grey colour
CamelCamelCamel.
What USB please?
Its very good, works with my s23 Ultra, if you connect the 20,000 45w samsung beige power bank to it, the port will charge at 45w as long as you have a 45w compatible type c cable
where is the USB battery pouch? 20,000 watts might be too much for a carry on…..
Inside the suitcase. You just connect your powerbank to it and thats it and Na i always travel with that power bank.

Item Weight 2.3 Kilograms
Is that a lot?
Standard weight. Anything less than 2kg is considered light and more than 3kg heavy imo.
Is 82cm ok for international flight travel, not too large?
@SoylentGreen: 82cm probably too large for some domestic flights - check with airlines.
We are having to buy medium-sized bags since our large bags are now classed as oversized…about $150USD charge each time you check in and they deem it oversized.
For this price, I'd go with 2.1 kg at most. Not 2.3 kg.

Going to Europe for four weeks soon. Would love a recommendation from anyone in terms of what size and which model to get
My go-to combo for a 3 to 4 week trip is an American Tourister Applite Medium/71cm, with matching 50 or 55cm carry-on. When moving around, the carry-on slips onto the handle of the larger suitcase making just the one unit to navigate with.
The American Tourister stuff, when bought on sale, is cheap enough to last a few years and then throw away. I travel for work a lot and have seen the damage that (Australian) baggage handlers can do, so I've given up on the idea of 'forever' luggage.
I'm not a fan of hard clamshell designs, they take up too much space in hotel rooms.
Really want this to be integrated with my samsonite but the handle is so small haha. Can’t justify throwing things out but would be nice to have a 2 in 1 since I seem to wheel it everywhere
This sort of combo looks reasonably compelling tbh. Please correct me if I'm wrong though, but from what I can see, both the 43cm underseater and 55cm cases breach e.g. Qantas and Virgin domestic carry-on size limits, at least if I'm interpreting their size limits as applying to each respective side.
The 72cm also appears to breach both Qantas and Virgin domestic checked size limits:
Ideally I'd like a set like this that works for both domestic and international flights without any (potential) issues.

I am boycotting Amazon from today, cancelled my membership, small step for me, big step for a mankind (if we all do it)
Anit-Bezos, environmental damage, worker mistreatment? What is your reason?
He hates the low prices. Lol
I assume it's because Bezos gave the Washington Post (which Amazon owns) a directive that its op eds must be pro personal liberty and free markets, which many of the staff there probably don't really believe in. That said, I'm in favour of both of those things and it doesn't feel right when an owner interferes in editorial, especially after 10+ years of not doing so.
Of course, many argue that if a news brand is biased for other reasons eg the editor or senior managers only publishes op eds that align with their activism, it's just as bad. And that's pretty standard with almost all news sites now.
That said, at least then there's some mystery to it - Bezos publicly ordering WashPo to do something is not a good look.
Personally I prefer transparency and openness even if i dont agree or believe in the person / policies. Rather than the corruption and behind the scenes work that is going on with Governments and Media these days. Atleast this way people can make a truly informed decision on whether they follow or believe the media
Imo, that's a pretty dumb idea. It'd make a lot more sense if he just fired most of the WPost staff and rehire a group of people with actual diverse opinions. But considering they're headquartered in Washington DC, the singular state that became more blue in the last election (lmao), I sympathise with Bezos's lack of options.
I cancelled due to many items no longer delivered to our area.
Thanks for Sharing.
Polycarb?
My polypropylene luggage peeled off after 6 hours in the sun and Samsonite would not cover under warranty.
Antler 50% off (LIFETIME WARRANTY) Polycarbonate $150 for Carryon
https://www.antler.com.au/products/expandable-carry-on-lugga…
Yes, durable polycarbonate is a high-quality material for suitcases. It is widely used in premium luggage due to its lightweight, impact resistance, and flexibility.
Pros of Polycarbonate Suitcases:
✅ Impact-Resistant – Absorbs shocks and withstands rough handling.
✅ Lightweight – Easier to carry compared to ABS or aluminium cases.
✅ Scratch-Resistant – Some brands offer textured finishes to reduce visible scratches.
✅ Flexible & Durable – Can flex slightly under pressure without cracking.
✅ Weather-Resistant – Protects contents from rain and moisture.
Cons to Consider:
❌ Can Get Scratches – Though durable, glossy finishes can show scratches over time.
❌ More Expensive – Higher quality than ABS, but often pricier.
3 kg for a carry on?
Not much use of you can't put anything in it.
That's not too bad actually. A lot of premium suitcases (July, Away, Monos) are around 3.5kg+
This is 2.5kg, all the hard shell would have some weight, unless you spend more for Samsonite C-lite which is still 2.1kg
https://www.antler.com.au/products/expandable-carry-on-lugga…
Lite-shock is best @ 1.7kg
How's this compared to American Tourister from Catch around $70 ??
the 55cm samsonite upscape has type a and type c usb ports. they type c port supports fast pd charging.
Also interested to know if I don't need the USB ports.
Slightly off topic but still related to suitcases, does anyone have a recommendation on how to “lock” or apply “brakes” to these spinner wheels to stop the suitcases from rolling down the slightest of slopes or while on the train etc? I’ve seen so many people chase after their runaway luggage when they let go of them to grab out their purses or tickets etc from their handbag, or when using those travelaters at the airport and would like to avoid doing the same!
This unwanted “feature” makes me wonder why they discontinued the old two-wheeled luggage design, which I could leave standing stable on my sloped driveway while waiting for the taxi without fear of it rolling onto the road!
Muji suitcases all have lockable wheels.
If you need to retrofit it, then get something soft but firm (chunk of eraser, bit of foam), cut it do you can jam it into the wheel spokes
Or replace the wheels
My Samsonite carry on suitcase is almost 20 years old and it is too heavy. I’ve kind of had enough trying to hide it from the gate agents during checking :D
This one might just do the trick :)
I have an old Samsonite and a new one just bought this year, the B lite model. The new model's make is noticeably poorer. You can see the seams and there are wavy surfaces. The zipper also feels wrong and rough as compared to the old one. So yeah, don't expect the same quality of make.
Yeah, I guess I have to have a hands on with one of the recent ones. Wouldn’t want to downgrade but I guess it’s impossible to have something similar as I have now and still around 2kg weight.
Also to note, the old B lite is 2.1 kg, the new B lite is 2.3 kg.
Saw the Renew 76cm and 57cm fabric two piece with USB passthrough for $300 at Costco. 4.15kg and 3kg.
Anyone know how to replace the wheels on one of these? I have one wheel a bit jammed from hair and it makes rolling it along a bit difficult
Plenty of instructions online but samsonite wheels can be tricky to match.
