I'll be flying LH soon, and want a rolling carry-on as I can't carry a tote of any weight for long due to arthritis. Even my 19" suitcase is too deep and too heavy for LH, so I ordered a new one online. Brand is Dakine. It's lightweight, and has a frame but the front has no support to it. It's almost like a rolling backpack but with no straps.

I'm sure it will have to be checked on the tarmac in FRA for the connecting flight. I could also get unlucky and have to check it the whole way, even though it easily meets the requirements. Is it too risky to check a bag of this type if it doesn't have breakables inside? I've only checked more solid suitcases in the past. I wanted a lightweight hardside suitcase, but they were all too deep.
