Hard shell is not the same hard shell. The suitcases of a well-known manufacturer, for example – it starts with “S” and stops with “e” – are almost uncaputable in normal practice.

Vulnerabilities are usually the zippers.

My suitcase from that company was damaged on a flight because apparently an elephant had set himself on the castle. I reported the damage at the airport. Two days later, the suitcase was picked up for free. After two more days, I had repaired him for free.

From my point of view, I can only recommend the light materials.
I can’t judge whether the Aldi & Co hard case is similar.

Greeting, earnest

Thanks for the *

(I forget: the products of a local company, which starts with “Rim”, I can also recommend you from my own many years of experience.
They are also not cheap – but if you change it to the life of the suitcases…)

There are – as so often – good and bad.

We bought Samsonite hard shell case in 1998. Since then, about ten return and return flights and some car trips have been included. After each flight you could see at the newly added scratches how “lovely” the ground personnel used to deal with our luggage. But until today they keep and close perfectly.

However, over the years we had to find that hard shells are impractical compared to the newer voluminous tissue trollies. There you are more flexible with the storage possibilities.

If hard shell case, then necessarily with rollers. Rolls as large as possible. Our have a diameter of about 4cm. Something impractical when it goes over thresholds and grooves. A pull-out handle is also very comfortable.

in certain circumstances, a suitcase made of cast iron is also scraped -.-
If you’re normal with that he’s not gonna break, I think…

No matter what suitcase you buy it is worth investing additional 10 euros in a trunk belt. It increases the stability and protects in any case from the fact that the two halves of the suitcase are unfolding and that all your thorn is distributed in the station or airport 🙂

If you fleee with the suitcase, a colourful (or individually sprinkled) trunk belt also helps to recognize your suitcase on the conveyor belt…

These suitcases can be broken just like other suitcases. It won’t happen much faster than others. However, one should consider whether a hard shell is actually the best choice, because they are very heavy. Most airlines have a maximum weight for their luggage. So if the suitcase weighs as much on its own, you can do less in it.

yes, they can also break,but if they would break immediately,you could at least have the guarantee that the manufacturer(or at least the legislator) gives (with proper use) earlier there was a manufacturer who was running in the tv a advertising spot in which he suggested that his case would be uncaputable (now no longer),y

Any object may have defects. This type of suitcase can also be broken.

Of course that’s true, they’re not built uncaputable.
