Review on Solo New York Premium Leather Laptop Rolling Case - 15.6-Inch, Black, D529: Stylish and Functional for On-The-Go Professionals by Samuel Groove

Mom's husband is always here - I travel every week of the year, mostly to the US and Canada, sometimes to Scandinavia - on average more than 3 flight segments per week, with about 30,000 miles when not flying. Solo repurchased November 16, 2018. Since I received it, it has disappeared everywhere I have it. Since it contains my laptop along with other valuables, it is ALWAYS hand luggage during the flight. I'm the only person that has ever done that. Overall I like the space I have - my laptop is small (Dell XPS 13 9365) so enough room for a tiny Dell power bank, an iPad Air 2, some external batteries to keep my iPhone charged, tablets in full size, pens, checks, cords, etc. I even find hiding places for things I accumulate when I travel (snacks on the plane, etc). 2 years. constant use but as seen in the photo the bag still looks good - worn but intact and working - all zips close, none of the zips are broken, the extendable handle works perfectly, the tote bag handles are still fully stitched on and working , all seams appear to be intact. There are scuffs and scratches, but I don't wear ties to work, so they don't have to be clean to match the suit. I would say I'm very happy with how the bag has held up. about wheels. there is definitely a problem here. I haven't removed the wheel assembly to have a closer look, but it looks like the bearings on both sides have failed (note that both wheels aren't sitting straight in the housings). This went on for several months - I remember noticing that they got louder as they were rotated and then there was some resistance to the rotation as the pouch was pulled out. I suspect it was this resistance that caused a wheel to shed its outer layer. Now it's the loudest bag in the lobby. At this point I suspect the wheel lock is around the corner so I'm considering replacing it. The Solo website doesn't seem to offer replacement parts, so I'm currently researching what Revain has to offer to see if I can find something that would be a close enough replacement - if I can't find what to use then I'll have to unfortunately without the bag. It's a shame because as much as I enjoy it in general, I'd rather fix things than just throw them away and replace them - my next purchase, if necessary, will be something that allows the consumer to replace damaged components without having to go outside the manufacturer's website to find them. Unfortunately, this may mean I have to look for something other than another solo.
