I like hard shelled suitcases so things don't get squished, and my current one is hot pink so I can find it easily (yes it works!), but it's got "snap lock" things to close it up rather than a zipper, and the snappy things have been knocked around too many times in transit and my bag doesn't close any more


So I'm thinking about this one - what do you think?




Or this one - it's a little bigger, but a little heavier, and while it's not black, it's not as fun looking

Yep go for the cow!

I got a red suitcase thinking no one would have that color but apparently there are lots and lots of people who think that! I swear I see more red than black at times!

The last time I travelled I was one of only a few with a black case, everyone else was trying to be different with red or blue.

I also like the hard cases, but heck they are heavy! they take up a few kilos before you put anything in there! I have noticed the people with the hard cases break so much quicker!

The cow one is cute, but the red one with some cool stickers/decals could be just as cool


I would buy the one that has the best features (pocket & zipper-wise) and then decorate from there...

When my Mom flew several years ago we could find her bag easy. It was the one with duct tape holding the latches.

My husband has the same as the cow print one (but non-cow print...), and it's been a really good suitcase.

That could be true - I'm physically broken down, and every trip, I seem to have a bit of a breakdown at the airport somewhere along the way - I'm tired, stressed, have to get up way too early and so freak out about something minor

WOW! That is awesome!!! Maybe I can get a little cow print one and attach the strap to the handle of my big cow print one, and drag the little suitcase behind my big one. How funny would that be??
