Attractive, and it works
By Richard
I am a design engineer for industrial applications. I travel a lot and have carried a brief case similar to this for the last 38 years. The handle on my old one started to get a little loose and I was concerned that it might leave me in a bad way in an airport or worse, so I found this replacement. I am quite pleased with it. It is handsome, rugged, and has as much space as the old one. The latches have similar combination locks and the handle is burly. I don't check my briefcase as baggage, so, do not expect it to see handling damage. I expect years of use from this case and recommend it to anyone for reasonable wear in an appropriate environment.

Low quality construction
By Fake Name
I really wanted to like this case. It looked nice and was at a reasonable price.
Out of the box, it seemed pretty well made. It felt and looked reasonably solid.
Unfortunately, after only 2 days of moderate use (carrying some stuff like my iPad, glasses, etc. to/from work), it started to fall apart. Some of the seams started coming apart. Some of the leather started peeling back, revealing unsightly strands of glue and the plywood(?) underneath. I've attached a photo of the glue strands.
I had to return it, which I was very sad about. I've been having a very hard time finding a quality attache.

Went through hell and still looks heavenly!
By Bill O'Rourke
This is a great briefcase that I purchased at a very good price on Amazon, I use it every day on the road It has been through hell and back and it still looks great!I work as a Private Investigator for various law firms throughout the state. My job entails interviewing witnesses, and sometimes asking them to sign statements with respect to whatever it is that they may have witnessed. I use the briefcase as a desk to write out a statement. I also visit the scenes of motor vehicle accidents, at the scene of each, I take measurements and again I use this briefcase to write them on. It has been outside with me in all kinds of weather from sunshine to rain and snow; and the briefcase still looks great and with the expandable option I have enough room to carry my files as well as a ruler, a tape measure, a digital recorder, my badge (we don't need no stinkin' badges!)but I carry one anyway, as well my I.D.
The ways things are going I may never even need another briefcase, but if I do, it will be another one of these!
