For my trip to the Big Island of Hawaii in 2018, I bought a Clothink 28-Inch Suitcase.
I was looking for a hard case that wasn’t secured by a zipper. I wanted actual latches for better security. Also, I didn’t want to pay for a suitcase that was more expensive than my plane ticket.
If you’ve ever browsed suitcases on Amazon, you’ll know that there are a ton.
Well, I found the best solution for me: a suitcase by Clothink.
I don’t know much about the brand, but they have excellent communication on their product pages. The suitcase I bought also came with extra wheels in case the airlines or someone else breaks off the original ones. I mean, a suitcase without wheels these days is pretty useless.
Here’s a rundown of the suitcase:
- Available in different sizes (28”, 26”, 24”, 20”)
- Available in different colors (silver, black, white, rose gold, and more)
- Made from durable ABS + PC (I’m guessing types of plastic)
- Dimensions: 18.9 x 11 x 29.9 inches—this is the 28” one, the one that I got and is good for a week-long trip
- TSA-Friendly LOCK with a numbered password system, so you don’t need to worry about losing a key
- Four double lightweight spinner wheels for 360 Degree effortless mobility—it’s definitely a smooth ride
- Wheels are detachable, have a brake mechanism to keep your suitcase from rolling away
- Two spare wheels are included with the case
- Weight: 16.53 pounds—for a hard case, that’s pretty light and gives you a lot of weight that you can stuff in the case and still not go over the weight limit
- The frame is made of aluminum, which is going to be stronger and more secure than any zippered case
- Roomy interior with mesh pockets and other nooks and crannies that’ll help you keep your belongings organized
Conclusion:
I’ve only taken this baby on one trip, but it’s held up well. The last hard case I had before this one, the corner got smashed right away.
If you honestly can’t spend this much on a suitcase, here’s a cheaper alternative.
