Surprisingly Lighweight
Purchased 24″ check-in size. My previous suitcase was destroyed during air travel and a cruise, so I carefully researched this purchase. Received my Samsonite yesterday. First, it was very well packaged. Although I knew the weight, it still felt very light. The size is also substantial- it’s deeper than I imagined, even without the expander. All handles and rollers seem well-made and functional. The interior has a good design to secure my clothing and even has a zipped pouch for small items. I usually pack light, but wanted this size for an extended holiday next year. It should carry ample clothes for a few weeks, yet is still maneuverable for transfer from taxi to plane, train, or ship. Very pleased with the quality and expect this bag will accompany me on a few adventures.

You can nest 21/24/28-inch together, but 28-inch must be expanded
So I just got the 24-inch size, after previously getting a set of the 21-inch and 28-inch. With the size difference between the 21-inch carry-on model and the 28-inch checked baggage size, there is of course no problem with putting the smaller one inside the 28-inch.Unfortunately the 21-inch, like all carry-on luggage, really only holds enough for a couple of days by itself. So I wanted to get the 24-inch middle size. Anything larger than 21 inches will need to be checked, in case anyone is still not sure about that. Some airlines will even complain if your 21-inch case is expanded and can’t fit easily in the provided metal frame baggage size tester you see at a lot of gates or check-in counters. So be careful about leaving the 21-inch size expanded when you’re actually trying to use it as a carry-on.I was hesitant to order the 24-inch because I wasn’t certain that it would successfully nest inside the 28-inch model. I could find no information on this in the answered questions or anywhere in online reviews of these exact “Freeform” luggage models. The dimensional difference between the 24 and 28-inch models isn’t nearly as much as between the 21 and 28-inch models.This is potentially very important if you either A) live in a very small place to begin with, or B) wind up in a very cramped hotel room (or even just one with a really awkward layout) where they don’t provide a decent spot to store both a 24-inch and a 28-inch luggage case separately without one of them really being in the way. Closets are typically just big enough to store one or the other size, but probably not both if you can’t nest them first. Trying to stack them vertically will typically just use up all available space for hanging outerwear in an already tiny hotel closet.I took a chance and ordered it anyway, without knowing the answer. The news is mostly good. I found that the 21-inch fits easily within the 24-inch. So that was a very good start. But the 28-inch won’t quite close with the 24-inch inside. Not nearly as easily as when I fit the 21-inch into the 24-inch. Seems like the 24-inch is a bit too thick. Luckily, all three models have an expansion zipper around the middle. Once the largest case is expanded, the main zipper will successfully close all the way around with the 24-inch inside.So, technically, you can nest all three together, 21/24/28, as a set. You just have to expand the 28-inch case first. The complete set of three cases will then take up a couple of inches more room than expected in the front-side to back-side dimension wherever you decide to store it. I don’t think I would recommend trying to compress it to re-close the expansion zipper and then leave it that way in long term storage. Probably not a good idea.As for a review of the cases themselves, they have been pretty sturdy so far, and they are pretty lightweight without really feeling flimsy at all. The double wheels on each corner provide more stability and ability to roll over slightly rough surfaces like tiled walkways, moderate carpeting and asphalt, compared to spinner cases that only put a single inline-skate type wheel on each corner. I really dislike those. And of course they are all spinners, which is a far superior arrangement to tilt-and-roll types of luggage. You can actually put quite a large bag (like a ~30LB backpack) on top of any of these sizes and still roll the whole thing around on its four wheels without too much trouble. The larger sizes will be more stable, but even the 21-inch isn’t too bad.Put two of these spinners back to back and it’s not too difficult to hold the extended handles together with one hand and angle the two so that you can use your knee behind the larger one to get it going, and then push the smaller one along in front of the bigger one. Once they start moving it works out pretty well.The sides are plastic and tend to develop a lot of static when the humidity is low. So you may wind up with a lot of dust/hair all over them if you lay them down on a carpet before a thorough vacuuming. Rubbing the outside with a dryer sheet may help with this.Some colors seem to have a glossy finish. The navy blue and others have a sort of tiny diamond-shaped matte texture except in the grooves. They will all get scratched as soon as they go through even a single airport baggage system. It may be less obvious on the lighter colors. But the really light colors will show the black marks from luggage belts much more easily. Just remember that they are hard sided, so no outer pockets or fabric on front/back to get torn up easily like soft-sided luggage, and they have expansion zippers, which a lot of hard-sided luggage don’t include. So just pick the color you like and try not to worry about it. And they do go on sale now and then. I was able to get the first set of 21/28 for under two hundred. I think they are kind of overpriced most of the time.

Best carry on case Iâve owned
This is my new favorite travel item. I was skeptical since I ordered it and was using it on a 3 week euro trip as my only luggage. For a carry on it was surprisingly spacious. The zippers functioned well and it held up over all sorts of terrain (although very loud to wheel over cobble stone street). The double handles are great for loading into overhead bins. And the biggest win it met the qualifications for a carry on for all of my flights between different cities in Europe. I was worried because some euro airlines have smaller requirements then the US but happy to report it fit in the overhead for all of them. So satisfied with this purchase. Also love the color and lightweight nature of it.

Great luggage
I have several pieces of this Samsonite luggage. Love this version because the color is sophisticated and easily distinguishable on the conveyor. Very lightweight but durable. Pull up handle has two positions. Zipper from the middle means it’s easier to get to any article of clothing because it won’t be buried at the bottom.

Nice luggage with good pricepoint with a few caveats
First – I cannot comment on the exact 28″ white/grey Freeform model checked bag, because the one that was delivered from Amazon arrived in a damaged box and the luggage was dead-on-arrival with a broken handle with damaged rails.That said, I was able to purchase the same bag at a local Samsonite store for a lower price than amazon. First off, Samsonite is excellent quality with fit/finish smooth rolling wheels and reliable zippers. I could not justify paying for the next level-up pricing which would be the Outline Pro series, where the main difference was the lining was made out of recycled bottles.I already had the white/grey carry-on size luggage so I bought the 28-inch model to match for overseas 8-day work/play trips. The white color luggage is very easy to spot at baggage claim carousels.Compared to my older 29″ luggage, this one is shorter but deeper, so essentially the same storage volume. The corners of the luggage are chamefered, which is good because it makes the bag more resistant to baggage-handling damage to corners, but it does limit storage space. My main issue with the bag is the polypropylene shell material – it’s flexible to withstand damage, but it is prone to scratching from rough handling and transport from terminal to plane and back. It is easy to wipe down but it looks like it does take a bit of elbow grease with magic eraser pads to take the deep scratch marks out.

This suitcase is larger than the dimensions given and doesn’t meet Canadian carry on requirements.
Theresa Martin –
Great size, durable, expandable. Very good quality for the price point- and it will be well tested for sturdiness.Like the expandable feature, as this is a hard cover case.

This suitcase is great. Iâve taken it on two over seas trips so far and itâs stood up well to being hailed through the airports, thrown in the plane and on the luggage carousels. It is light when empty and easy to carry with its two handle options. The wheels roll smoothly making it easy to manoeuvre through busy areas and the locking mechanism is easy to use and works great. The zippers glide smoothly as well. The colour is so pretty and stands out great to be spotted amongst all the luggage coming out of the plane at one time. Absolutely zero complaints on this purchase
