Great Case; Great Price
This is a good looking, well made case. The price is great, $40 less than the same case at Staples. My two sons are so impressed they plan to buy the same case themselves.Because I have a 15.6 widescreen ASUS laptop, I didn't think that I would be able to use the inner case like a sleeve because the right up said it was for a 15.2 or 15.4, but to my pleasant surprise, it just fits. This means it is possible to park the rolling case and carry the computer in the very attractive computer case to a meeting, etc. The case serves the purpose of a sleeve, but it looks like a pricey brief case. Also, if I should be on a regional flight that considers the case too large for their small overhead compartment, I will just remove the inner case and carry it on board and let them stow the case elsewhere.Beach ships the case and I got it within a couple of days of when it was ordered. Very good shipping service, and shipping was free.I highly recommend this case.UPDATE: Carried this bag today on two of the regional planes used by United. Although I hadn't filled the bag to overflowing, I had no trouble getting it under the seat and into the overhead bin. Did find though that when putting it into the overhead bin I had to insert it with the top forward--not wheels first or sideways--because the bin sloped toward the back and wheels prevented it from sliding in all the way. But putting front in first, bag fit as the front of the bin has more space for the wheels. Under the seat, it didn't seem to make much difference. But if under the seat on these small planes, there isn't a lot of room for your feet.Expect no difficulty whatsoever on the big jets.Update 1 January 2012. I have made a number of flights on big jets and regional jets since writing the review and have never had a problem. I have also found that when checking bags to see which need to be put in the cargo compartment on a regional jet that they often say this case is ok to carry on-board. Regardless of the plane, however, it is necessary--as mentioned above-- to put the part with the handle in first since the back interior of the overhead is smaller than the front so the wheels would prevent you from pushing it in far enough to permit the stewardess to close the cover of overhead compartment. Put the handle in first and there is no problem.

I absolutely love this bag
I just got this case two days ago, primarily for work, to hold my work laptop and move between branches of my company instead of driving through traffic then walking with a heavy bag on my shoulder. I have two herniated discs so I really needed a case to hold my laptop and other stuff including misc. items for when travelling abroad.After reviewing what seemed like hundreds of laptop rolling bags, I settled on this one. Knowing that these bags generally have issues with the wheels and pull up handles, this bag seemed the most sturdy based on the reviews.When I first got it I initially thought the handle did not pull up high enough as I am a little over 6ft this would mean I have to wear very flat flats at all times when moving with this bag. I was really disappointed as it was really uncomfortable moving around. It was not until I was rolling the bag up my driveway the first day that I realize that I did not pull the handle up all the way, or rather the handle was not moving up all the way despite all my efforts. Of course I was over joyed when I discovered how high it came up, as this suited me just fine.While the bag is a bit bulky, the bonus laptop case on the inside was a terrific bonus and will come in handy for my work laptop while the other section of the bag has room to hold my personal laptop, (where there are straps to strap in a laptop), and space for a lot of other stuff too. The bag does not tip over when standing on its own and the zippers and stitching seems very sturdy, additionally the bag overall has a very professional look. It has so many compartments that can hold clothes as well as cds my external hard drive and folders and documents.I love it so far, however I am yet to see what happens after a few months of use.

Nice Quality Rolling Case
I really like this case. There is planty of room for my laptop plus files, periphery equipment, etc. I always seem to be hauling around a lot of extra stuff, so this case is perfect. I can carry everything together without any trouble.The zippers are high quailty. They work smoothly with hardly any effort. The telescoping handle pulls up and pushes down easily and the wheels are incredibly smooth. I am 5'4" and pulling this bag is very comfortable for me. There are several pockets/dividers that make organizing easy. I checked out a lot of other bags before buying this one, and none of the other brands in my price range even came close.The only drawback is the separate (but included) padded laptop sleeve/briefcase. Although it is also a very nice bag, it won't hold a 17" laptop like mine. I use the rolling bag without it. I knew this ahead of time, so I knew what I was buying. It bugs me a little though, that it's advertised as a case that will hold a 17" laptop. That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I would have given 4.5 if it had been possible.My 17" Dell Vostro just barely fits into the rolling case without the sleeve, but since it's compartment is also nicely padded and is situated in the center of the case, it has adequate pertection. I just wish they would either make the whole case larger and include a sleeve that will accomadate a 17", or make the rolling case available without the inner sleeve. It's a bummer that I had to pay for a bag I can't use. I gave it to my sister to use with her smaller laptop.
