This is a necessary piece of equipment for anyone that travels. It fits perfectly in place without scratching anything and holds a ton of stuff! It also looks great and is totally secure when strapped into place. It is a bit odd to carry since it's so long but it's no big deal if your not walking real far with it. That goes for any suit case I would say. So, go get one if you need it, you wont be dissapointed. By the way, the price is high but you can usually get up to 20% off at the dealership by just asking for a break on the price. Also, I would imagine you could find one on e-bay for even less. Good luck!
