All was well until yesterday when I noticed that when standing upright its kinda uneven on the base, in that I can rock it back & forth.
Its hard to explain but if you can imagine that when its standing on its 2 back wheels, only one of the supports on the front corner is touching the ground & the other is slightly up off it so it is possible to rock it forward diagonally & then back onto the wheels.
Ive noticed this allow me to swivel the bag around whilst standing upright alot easier but wasnt sure if this is like a feature thats common or an actual fault with the case.
Ive only used it twice & not even on flights & it was only wheeled from the car to my house on both occassions

Normally something like this wouldnt bother me but when Ive paid nearly €500 euro for a case I want it to be perfect
It's not supposed to do that. All four wheels should be flat on ground, so sounds like the shell of yours might be warped.
