And yet, every luggage manufacturer has a wheeled line of bags that suffer from this deficiency. I've frequently see this deficiency on very expensive bags. I cannot help but sit there and shake my head as to the stupidity of the company for overlooking this flaw, while I sit there looking down the isle of the plane watching people struggle to get their personal item off their wheeled bag!
Can someone explain this to me? My Tumi roller and case do not suffer from this snagging issue you mention.
