My husband bought one of these some years ago and, not only did he love it, but was also complimented on how versatile it was by numerous colleagues who were unable to find one. He constantly travels all over the world and found this the perfect carry on for his computer and other items he needs to keep with him at all times. As it was beginning to fade he tried, unsuccessfully, to replace it. Fortunately I was able to locate one that looked identical and was cheaper than the original that he had purchased from a computer chain. In every aspect, it is identical except for the handle which is not curved, although the description says that it is. This one feature made the Contour extremely maneuverable and made tramping through endless airport terminals with 2 other larger suitcases a breeze. It is also extremely durable. My husband thinks that the original, with a more pronounced curved handle, probably resulted in the higher cost and for some reason the manufacturer decided to produce an item that was more cost effective for the customer. To sum up, an excellent product. As the Contour is still functional, my husband has given it to our daughter to tote her hair styling equipment around when she has to go to a client's home so I can see this item going on for ever like a certain well known battery!
