I've been a Rimowa owner for years (with 6 cases in total) and have NEVER had any issues, however my most recent case (a Hybrid Cabin XL) has the cheapest velcro on the inside separators that I have ever seen. It just doesn't hold at all! The big difference is that they have changed the top portion to be made out of plastic and the plastic just doesn't stick to the velcro bottom sewn on the actual separators. Anyone else having this issue? Quick Google search brings this up. Point #6 is what I am having issues with:

AA broke mine, huge dent last Xmas journey and wheel off
They replaced with the new model and just arrived, hate it does not have the add-a-bad strap, I used it to attach my cabin Tumi or Rimowa when I check-in the original L. Not any more it seems...
