About this deal

The carry handles are integrated into the case design and they are very well done. The side handle is lifted out whereas the top handle is always available. The material is comfortable enough.

While by no means lightweight, I found them reasonably weighted when you take the toughness of the shell into account. There are plenty of flimsy no-name alternatives which are over 4kg for a medium. S’Cure cases are built from Flowlite Polypropylene. These weights are based on the nicer DLX versions with upgraded interiors. At first sight it may look a little bare and not what you expect from Samsonite. There is a rationale behind this…weight saving. Most interiors are lined for visual purposes only. They serve little function in terms of comfort or protection.Fingers crossed that this works out for awhile, but short of a pricey Pelican hardcase, seems like it will do just fine Concentric square rings on the front panel sets these cases apart. Add dots to the middle around the distinctive Samsonite logo for a classic look. While the shape is the standard rectangle box, these are smart cases. Small touches like contrasting colours just above the spinner wheels and contrasting telescopic handle make it stand out. There are some manufacturers who offer guarantees that include damage caused by airlines, for example Briggs & Riley and certain products by Victorinox. I include this section in the review because design can facilitate good capacity. In this case, the design is good and does not intrude on the interior capacity.

The S’Cure hardside luggage is made of a new, revolutionary polypropylene material that is called Flowlite.This material is incredibly lightweight, but also very durable. The shell of the suitcase is, therefore, incredibly strong and resistant to pretty much anything. And it is really easy to clean, which is something I always look for in luggage. If Samsonite is not for you, there are a number of alternatives. Read my article on the top 10 manufacturers.The wheels on the Samsonite S’Cure are excellent and performed well over a number of surfaces. Obviously, with all suitcase wheels, they don’t perform that well over rougher terrains. The overall fit of the suitcase is great in terms of parts slotting together. Therefore, the build quality should contribute to its durability. Finish I actually agree with this design choice, it reduces weight and actually makes it easier to keep clean. Since most linings cannot be removed, they cannot be cleaned to a high standard. Generally speaking, the difference is not massive but poor design can be a source of frustration and poor user experience.

If there is a luggage company that knows what it is doing, it is Samsonite. They are masters of innovation in material and product durability. There is a reason they offer a 10-year warranty, this is the level of confidence they have.Instead of the regular zip we see on most suitcases, Samsonite have offered a new direction that I think we will see more of in the future. Zips are a particular weak point in luggage because of damage and theft. The seal removes those weak points. Before the introduction of 2-wheel suitcases you had to carry your luggage, so lets raise a glass to celebrate this invention! While 4-wheel cases have become more popular over recent years, 2-wheelers are still a great option especially for a cabin case.

While you don't get the same capacity as a 2-wheel suitcase, 4-wheel cases are increasingly popular. The integrated ID tag is a nice feature that you don’t see often enough. It is handy and invaluable if the case goes missing. Samsonite S’cure 28 Well, after some trial and error, I now go with ‘Secure,’ only with a silent first ‘e.’ If you prefer ‘ES-CURE’ then more power to you! The wheels are small, tough and move in any direction. If you have not had a Samsonite Spinner before, then give it a (literal) twirl… S’Cure cases will spin around 360 degrees.They are double wheel spinners with 360-degree maneuverability which means the suitcase will go exactly where you want it too. Samsonite S’cure 30 Integrated ID tag When you open the suitcase, you'll see that one side has a full fabric cover. You open it with a zip that goes around 3 sides. The other side of the suitcase has a set of X-shaped straps to hold larger items in. It wasn't a negative for us, but just in case, I'll mention that there is no lining to this suitcase. Inside, it is just the bare polypropylene. It doesn't mean a hoot to us. We tend to use our suitcases for a looooooong time before buying new ones, and the problem with fabric linings is that they don't last as long as the rest of the suitcase. So not having a fabric lining may not look as pretty in the beginning, but has no effect whatsoever on how well the suitcase works. I've attached a photo giving you an idea of how the inside of the suitcase looks. The main body is constructed using polypropylene rather than the polycarbonate that Samsonite normally use. Although polycarbonate is traditionally considered stronger, polypropylene is still a very strong thermoplastic. It is more than capable of handling bumps, bruises and general mishandling. The pull handle is as you would expect from Samsonite. Strong and robust. It is secure and the movement up and down is very smooth.
