Briefcase+ with pull bar

Looking to buy a "briefcase" to tote a laptop AND some paperwork. Need one with wheels and a pull handle. Doctor suggested, so work will pay. Any suggestions out there?

Great question. I have wondered this myself.

BTW, will your doctor suggest I get one of those really expensive massage chairs? I think I "need" one

The Tumi is nice, but I'm not sure I'm ready to fork over $695 USD for a briefcase with wheels.

WOW, $700, that is rich. Did I mention my wife works for a corporation, not the government?

Posted here as TravelBuzz has over 20 hits for luggage. Also checked technology, a couple briefcases, but not really related.

The bag will only be use on business air travel, so here is where I posted. It may not be as "pure" as the extensive discussion on farts, but I believe it fits here but would not be upset if it were moved.

I considered Omni, but that is for NOT travel related and this is. I am hoping there are many FT's that use such a case and can share their experiences with us.

Don't mind the rib...but in this case I think the category fits, and the "shoe" doesn't.

Thanks

Tumi is great but this is comparable and way cheaper. Lifetime warranty...

For a bit better pricing, there are links to 4-5 different types on this page.

Also, here's a link at E-Bags with many different types.

I'd stick with Tumi, warranty is nice but it's better if it doesn't fall apart in the first place... I use Tumi for all "soft" bags and Rimowa for my briefcase and equipment box. It's a hefty price but there are good bargains out there to be found, just see it as an investment.
