bioyuki is correct.

I would be very upset if an expensive Tumi laptop messenger bag broke and my Sony Vaio or Asus tablet was dented as a result. And I have seen this twice over the years while waiting for a train, or a plane. ( Which is why I do not use messenger bags ).

What I do see is the trend to be creative on the part of manufacturers, distributors, and sellers with warranty interpretation. Guarantees, and extended replacement warranties, still current in many cases have suddenly have become " service warranties, or even limited-service warranties. "

In line shopping last weekend, I overheard a customer complaining about his extended warranty for some item. The store representative stated " Oh, but we can't be held responsible for what a salesman may have said when you bought that too. "

She meant the extended warranty. Not very reassuring to hear that what you were told on the day of the purchase a year or so ago, you must have imagined.

Does anyone else notice this ?

My nice Tumi leather items thus sit stored away in my wardrobe.
