Review on McKleinUSA Lasalle 83405 Leather Overnight by Jose Wititsuwannakul

Bad Features: The telescoping handle attaches to the inside of the bag and only to the back leather of the bag, not the metal/hardened back which pulls it outwards Leather sleeve gives a feeling that the grip is flexible/wobbly when trying to point the sleeve in any direction other than forward motion. The handle can be hidden in the pocket with a zipper; However, when using the handle, the back of the case opens, and when it rains, the rain penetrates the inside of the case. The umbrella holder (one of the main features I liked) is not long enough to hold a medium sized umbrella and the zipped pocket is closed (internal holder pocket set too high). I need to buy one of those very small compact umbrellas that are less than 9 inches long to fit and zip up. If the inner lining of the case gets wet, it will leave a small water stain. Front storage area for pens, computer disks, jump drives, etc. Multiple smaller pockets can be used to store more small items typically carried in a mobile workstation bag. May not be ideal for carrying another bag on top due to telescoping. Handle is attached to the leather case. The telescopic handle shown in the photo is different from the one I received. The one I received - the handle tends to sag when extended or lowered. At the very front exterior there is a zip pocket case; However, a leather lip over the zip (probably to give it a smoother look than the zip shows) makes it harder to pull things out of the bag including some d-backs/frames, especially as this bag is designed to take a 17- Carrying an inch laptop which can be difficult on its own, not to mention adding paper folders, stationery, power cords, water bottles, etc. I just don't think the retractable handle design will allow this case to hold up good to hold over time as the skin stretches and that's all the handle is attached to. Nice features: The leather quality seems to be very good. The wheels roll smoothly and silently. Plenty of "baggage" options for those who travel and want to carry a change of clothes in their carry-on along with their laptop. Holds 16 oz. Water bottle in rear storage compartment (same location where handle attaches to suitcase). There is a handy optional canvas slip-in briefcase that can be removed for extra clothing when traveling and the slip-in briefcase can be carried separately. I couldn't tell from the picture that this part of the case was removable, I thought it was a "built in" file folder.
