Another picture of the steel finish.
I ordered the steel larger aluminum carry on. I was only open to it because of the 100 day trial period. I have taken it on one trip and there are a few scrapes and nicks on it already. The light scratches are still the steel color and the deeper ones are silver. Someone in the airport complimented my bag and asked if it was a Rimowa ! I thought the battery took up too much room so I removed the handle and took out the entire battery casing. I carry my own battery pack anyway and most of my cords are usbc to usbc anyway. If I decide to return it, it will be a pain putting it back in! I still have my eye on a Briggs and Riley but Away might win since I get to try it before I buy it.
