All luggage gets destroyed in my experience, no matter how good (or expensive) it is. I don't get bothered about it anymore.

Rimowa

Salsa Limbo - Beautiful case but seems to keep getting dropped on its corner, bending the frame and putting everything slightly out of alignment (still closes). Been fixed once by Rimowa for free. Has happened a second time so will be going back to them shortly.

Salsa - Also a beautiful design. Had one of these crack on the corner. Not showstoppingly bad and the carrier which broke it did replace it. Second one has been fine for a few years now. Got quite a few of this model in the family and not had any other problems.

Zero Halliburton

Got an old metal sided ZH (pre TSA lock days). Has been through the wars and required some fixes over it's time. Again hard frame can get knocked out of alignment.

Bought a few of the first polycarbs they made (can't recall the model name). Lovely interior layout and design, far better than the Rimowa. The large (29") one of these got a large crack in the top side on a flight and scrapped (carrier stumped up the full cost). The others (27" and 24") are still in use today.

ZH support in the UK is practically non existent, otherwise I'd but more of them over Rimowa. Internal layout/design is far more important that external looks.

Hope this helps.
