I am very surprised they have not released such a model. If they do, I likely get one, and will definitely do so if they make it in a non-clamshell design. I also wish that they had a 2-wheel model, as I much prefer that to a 4-wheel design.

Yes, I know that many people use them on US carriers regularly and without an issue, but it is clearly not compliant -- so if you encounter a scenario where they are sizing bags (which I see somewhat often, both at the gate and at other checkpoints (e.g., pre-security)) you are unlikely to get any leniency.
