Was wondering if anyone has used anything similar to these items and if so, if you've had any problems with them - ie: torn off by TSA never to be seen again.

The first site claims their product is approved for use by the TSA but, of course, no other documentation of this is given.

I use a lighter colored 19" rollaboad for carryon most of the time but think I might have to check it on the way back from the next trip due to souveniers. After seeing what going through baggage handling did to its larger matching piece (which has now been retired), I'm loathe to send it through as is.

Any other suggestions for similar products are most welcome.

Thanks!
