My Leather luggage works one with the gold locks is a piece of doodoo. It's this one
http://www.crewoutfitters.com/browse...44-85-75-72-44
I've had it for less than 6 months, and the entire bottom is separated out of it. I've treated it with decent care, there's no obvious reason for it to be doing this (i didn't drop it from FL350)
I'm not sure if i got a bad one, adn LW is being cool about replacing it (i have to pay for shipping on the loner) but it's still frustrating as hell to pay $219 on a product that's already falling apart.
I'm gonna lose all my stickers

I've had it for less than 6 months, and the entire bottom is separated out of it. With no excessive wear and tear.

I know a lot of people with the flight case you have, they like it..and it seems to hold up better than mine did.

i'm not sure the 26 incher is giong to fit in the CRJ crew luggage storage thing. Double check it, but you may have to permanently gate check it. I'm almost positive mine is 22"..And that's already nearly impossible to fit.

I did the Harbor Frieght tool kit for a while.
I had it for about a year and I think that is about all you will get out of it. I found that no matter how hard I tried to treat it, I still threw it around, kicked it off/on the airplane. All the dents at first were a badge of honer. Then one day really was no surprise, I had to band the bottom with duct tape. 2 more months went by, then got dinged by the flight manager for not have a black bag. that was about the icing on the cake for me, I was fed up. it was not big enough to hold the charts and manuals we have at TSA. I could not imangine it would come close to working for anyone that flies to any more airports than we do. Some of you guys/gals out there have a bunch of jepp charts.

When I'm ready for a replacement, I definitely won't be getting another harbor freight, but I think for the first year it's well worth the price.
With the amount of money we throw down on uniforms and luggage, I just wasn't ready to drop $200-300 for a good lasting flight case, but now with second year pay, I think I'm about ready.

Jepp = meh
$200 and three of six metal skid bumps gone and the remaining three loose. The locks appear to be on the verge of failure, and no internal pocket on the flap.
But, it fits perfectly in the CRJ and you can sticker it up.

I have a Platt catalogue case w/o the wheels. Aluminum frame, built well, about $100. I abuse it and it still looks good.
