Style: RI08563 - Review in Progress

TEXT REVIEW PENDING MOVIEDEMO REVIEW
Ordered Rimowa Salsa 26in. Trolley Style: RI08563 from LuggageOnline.com on a Sunday received via UPS on Thursday Afternoon.

When the driver handed me the box, I was worried because it didn't feel like anything was in the cardboard shipping box.

Text Highlights pending Movie Demo Review.
PROS: Extremely light. Made of a material that feels like a cross between a metal/tin garbage can and a plastic garbage can. Don't equate the reference of a garbage can as a negative. I just want to describe the feel and I am sure many of us have felt both these types of cans.

Very simplistic - I hate carrying around the materials needed to make extra pockets and storage areas. In side this case is just a couple of straps, and one small zippered pocket. Also a zipper lining that lets you see the inside of the backside of the case. This is good because of one of the HUGE cons this bag has.

CONS: The biggest problem I have with this right out of the box is that there is no way to attach a flight case to allow it to piggy back on this case. I may have a solution that involves removing a clamp from my Travel Pro (which broke in 3 weeks of use), then drilling into the new case to attach it. Due to the flexibility of the material I don't think it will be possible to attach it to the top front of the case like most hardshells, more likely I will need attach it to the back or under the carrying handle more on that in the video review.
Zipper - I had a hardshell that had clamps to lock the case closed and I love them. This has a zipper, while I think the zipper adds support to this case, I do miss the ease of two snaps and its open.
