Solo New York Leather Rolling Case with Wheels - Roller Laptop Bag, Wheeled Briefcase for Women & Men, Carry On Size for Travel, Fits 15.6" Computer - Walker, Tan

Very nice looking roller bag. It looks exactly like the picture on the Amazon webpage. Quality is excellent, comparable to bags costing 3 and more times the price. Leather quality is good and soft. The grain of leather matches well where matters. Inside seams are sewn with reinforced matching color tapes. The expresso leather color looks classy. Examining the leather carefully, I couldn't find any scratch nor scars. The workmanship is consistently clean and even. The matching color number 5 nylon zippers open and close smoothly. The interior of the bag is fully lined with a lighter color, possibly nylon lining, embossed with self color Solo logo pattern, done in a classy way.The backside of the bag is made with matching color heavy duty (possibly) polyester material. I think this actually makes the bag stronger and less heavy than leather.The first 3 compartments are completely functional. The frontal side pocket is good for small items, plane tickets, boarding pass, etc. I must say these pockets can be designed better and be made with better details and workmanship (It is made more like a suitcase than a computer bag).The smaller compartment has simple pockets for pen and pocket notebooks. It is also big enough for some A4 size folders or an agenda book/note book. The 3rd compartment, the largest of them all, is lightly padded for a laptop and for many more folders. The last compartment contains the handle mechanism with two small pouches on both sides of the handle. I need to figure out how to make use of this compartment without tearing the lining and expose the mechanism. Perhaps it is not meant to be used.This is not a light bag. However; it is not a heavy bag considering the leather and the roller mechanism. I have been looking for a professional looking roller bag for a long while. Some were too expensive, some were too heavy and some didn't look right. I think I have found the roller bag that matches my needs at a reasonable price.The only thing that I am a bit concerned about is the wheels. They look ok, but I hope they will last with all my business travels.Product Update: I would have liked the bag to be a bit bigger and had more pockets to organize things. It fits well on airplane overhead compartments. It's a pleasure to walk around with it. No more weight on my shoulder that always lead to back pain. It really looks professional.

I bought this brief case after retiring the one that I had by the same company. There are few minor differences in this new one- all leather versus partial leather shoulder strap in the new one, and a slightly compact front pocket to reduce the risk of toppling. I had bought the other one 10 years ago and the purpose of this review is to give you a sense of what you can expect from this one over time. I used this rolling briefcase every day from home to office and it has served me very well. I never took serious care of it, except occasional wet cloth wipe. In sum, it was abused. I had no problems with it for the first 9 years. The hardware is of exceptionally good quality. The retractable handle, zippers, stitching, leather and the foot pegs are all in perfect functional shape to this date. There are only two weak points. First, strap and its attachment loop to the brief case. The loop rivet came out and the strap connecting hardware broke. Second, the leather of the hand carrying handle got warned out. They may have corrected these problems in the current models or they may still exist.By being around for this long time, this item has met the test to time- surviving the competitive brief case marketplace. I am looking for a different brief case this time because I have used this one for so long. I have not found one that is better than this one so far. I don't think that you can go wrong with this. Yes, as others pointed out, tipping can be a problem if you fill up the front pockets. I rarely did, so it was not that big of an issue for me, but it can be.I strongly recommend this product for those who like to carry things in their brief case and have a need for wheels to roll the brief case.

AlwaysAMom's husband here -I travel every week of the year, mostly US & Canada, occasionally Scandinavia - it comes out to an average of 3+ air segments per week, with roughly 30,000 driving miles when not flying.I bought the Solo back on November 16, 2018. Since I received it, it's gone everywhere I have. Because it holds my laptop, among other valuables, it is ALWAYS a carry-on bag when flying. I am the only person who ever handles it.Overall, I like the room I have in it - my laptop is small (Dell XPS 13 9365), so there's plenty of room available for the Dell's tiny power brick, an iPad Air 2, a couple of external batteries to keep my iPhone charged, full-sized writing tablets, pens, receipts, cables, etc... I even manage to find hiding places for items I accumulate going from place to place (airplane snacks, etc).Two years of constant use, but as you can see from the photos, the bag still looks pretty good - worn, but intact and functional - all zippers still zip, none of the zippers themselves have broken off, the telescoping handle still functions correctly, the carry handles are still fully sewn in place and functional as well, all the stitching appears intact. There are scuffs and scrapes, but I don't wear ties to work, so it doesn't have to be pristine to match a suit.I'd say that I'm pretty happy with how the bag has held up..........However..... about the wheels.... definitely got a problem here. I've not removed the wheel assemblies yet to have a closer look, but it appears that the bearings on both sides have failed (note both wheels aren't straight in the housings). This occurred over a period of months - I recall noticing they were getting louder when rotating, followed by some resistance to rotation when pulling the bag. I suspect it was that resistance that caused the one wheel shed its outer layer. Now it's the loudest bag on the concourse.I'm guessing at this point that a wheel lock-up is right around the corner, so I am looking at replacing them. Solo's website doesn't appear to offer spare parts, so I'm presently rooting through what Amazon has to offer to see if I can come up with something that's a reasonably close replacement - if I can't find something to use, then unfortunately, I'll have to retire the bag.That's a shame, because as much as I like it overall, I prefer fixing things to simply ditching and replacing - my next purchase, if that becomes necessary, will be something that allows the consumer to replace damaged components without having to look outside the manufacturer's website to find them.Unfortunately, that may mean I have to look at something besides another Solo.

I had wanted a good quality rolling case for some time to save my shoulders and back from carrying my work laptop, chargers and iPad. Along with note pads and other documents, for me meant backpacks are not a good option. I had got some stick for being old because I could not carry all my gear, but I figured protecting my back was a smart move.This case looks good, the tan color makes it stand out more than all the nondescript black plastic and leather cases. Strong wheels and a strong and smoothly operating telescopic handle also add to the overall quality feel of the case. There are sleeves for documents, and even power brick pouches nicely placed either side of the handle at the back. No space is unusable.If you have to carry a laptop and a lot of documentation, then this might get tight quickly, it does not expand much from the initial spread.As I mentioned, this bag has done some travelling on many flights and trips over the last year or so, and has been excellent so far, it's took a few whacks, but there is no sign of wear and tear, I lug around a full size laptop, power brick, an iPad, and power brick and various notes without issue. I will say that the bag itself is quite heavy so do not think it will spend much time on your shoulder............ Recommended .......

I've only had my bag for a few days so this will be a first impressions review and I'll try to remember to return after some use for follow-up thoughts. I have typically used a backpack style computer bag (North Face Surge, Swiss Gear, assorted others) and carried way too much stuff most of the time. This tended to hurt while traveling, lugging all that stuff through airports & hotels.I bought this bag to both make it easier to carry what I needed (company provided laptop, Dell E6530, and assorted notebook(s)) & essentials for traveling (E-Reader, power cords, passport, earbud headphones, and other similar small-ish items), and to impose a limit on the total amount of stuff that I could carry.- Laptop fits just about perfectly. As I mentioned above, it is a Dell E6530 which is a 15.6" laptop for which the bag is advertised. A larger laptop may fit but probably not while using the included padded laptop sleeve (which is removable).- My bag has a shoulder strap. After reading some of the other reviews, I wasn't expecting the strap but it is a welcome feature. For reference, I purchased the "Expresso" colored bag and the model number is D529-3.- The compartments are laid out pretty well. Rear compartment has two pockets with the telescoping handle between them. I use these for the laptop power brick and a cordless trackball. Rear-middle compartment is for the laptop and/or notebooks & files. I also tuck my e-reader in here. Front-middle compartment is the usual pen/card organizer pocket. A couple pen/pencil sleeves, card pockets, a couple small pockets for phones/ipods, and a zippered pocket. And finally, there is a decently sized compartment on the very front of the bag which I will use for passport, wallet, boarding passes, etc. The top handles are between the middle pockets and at the rear, so you can access the front-middle compartment while holding the bag by the top handles, if needed.- It is a bit heavy fully loaded, which is to be expected and why there are rollers on it. :-)

I fly every week and this is one of my two carry-on's. When I first got this bag I liked it, loved the thick, rich feel of the leather, but wondered how it would do on the road. Well, after about 100 flights, cramming in in overheads/under seats, dragging it everywhere, it's not failed me in any way. Wheels and bumpers are all scratched up but work perfectly. The leather has been far more stain resistant than I expected. Even after accidentally letting it tip over in a puddle of water, no sign of water stains. Most important to me, the retracdting handle has not failed. I really whip this bag around with the handle extended and I've been waiting for something to go wrong with it. No problems. Some reviewers have complained that the bag will not stay upright on its' own. This is partially true. If you pack most of the weight on the opposite side from the wheels, this is true. Simple solution, just put the heavy stuff on the side with the wheels. Stands up just fine. My singular complaint, and I must admit, it has not caused me any problems, is that the wheels are open to the inside of one of the compartments. It's the one I put all my power cords, GPS and such in and I have wondered if a cord might get caught in a rolling wheel. It has not happend yet but I'd rather see the wheels enclosed. That said, I still highly reccomend this bag. Get compliments on it all the time and it's standing up to the needs of this very demanding traveller.

UPDATE on 5/26/15Bag is becoming disappointing. The wheel is making a LOUD clicking (like rolling over large cracks) noise when it rolls on a completely smooth surface. I have e-mailed Solo about this now so we'll see if I hear back.One other annoyance I found with the bag recently that I didn't think of before. If you do have to check your bag or leave it in an unattended office and want to lock it, the zippers do not have the kind of zippers that enable a luggage type lock of any kind. Knowing this alone would've likely swayed me to not purchase this bag.Original Review:I am writing because I didn't find other reviews really answered all my questions so here goes...1. Can it fit on all planes? - No, it cannot. On the regional jets with 1 seat on one side and 2 on other it will not fit under the seat on the 1 seater side. It will fit in the overhead bin on MOST of these regional planes, but not all.2. It rolls great.3. It is a wee bit bigger than I expected because the reviews were misleading and it is heavier than I expected.That said it is a good roller bag if that is what you are looking for. Glad I purchased it, I just don't like being a roller bag person, but decided to for less stress on my back.One disappointment in product quality -- The strap got caught on the wheel when i was rolling it ONE time and it ripped...so fabric isn't high quality obviously, so the strap is useless to me. I haven't tried reaching out to the mfg to see if they would replace it yet.

Mooi, handig, gebruiksvriendelijk.

Utterly beautiful quality soft yet robust leather bag quite Tardis like in the amount it holds. Wheels solid and dependable, interior very smart and well finished with enough compartments and pockets, I have been searching for a smart yet unusual bag with enough room for laptop and iPad as well as a couple of A4 folders, pencil case various chargers, battery packs and of course my coffee thermos. I have sent 4 different trolley bags back for a number of reasons from jammed locks to dodge wheels, I have gone from hard outer shell to nylon and now this - a beautiful dark brown rolling bag - Finally my quest is at an end - Perfect bag for me!

Útil y práctico. Sólo le falta un sujetador para ponerlo en la jaladera de una maleta más grande.

Excellent, just as described.

I was just really pleased to feel like the product I had chosen did what I wanted without any compromises. I would not change a thing about it.
