I wanted a slim profile case that was strong enough to fit in my back pocket. I am very satisfied with this suitcase, it suits my needs and has a good price. Caution: If you put it in the back pocket of your pants and sit on it, there's a good chance you'll deform it a little. which may affect the closing of the lid. I was able to bend the "latch" part of the lid slightly to close it again securely afterwards. Sitting on this suitcase is probably not good, but overall I think it was a great deal and a very good choice.
