Makes a little noise but overall very sturdy. It has been almost 1 yr the wheels seem very worn which is a expected if you do a lot of traveling. Hubby loves it but it makes more noise when he's pulling it on a tiled or wooden floor. He hates that. Any remedy for the wheels and reducing that noise issue?Update:Still going strong. The wheels are really worn, which causes more noise but it doesnt really bother me. Still pleased with my purchaseHeavy, my 17" laptop barely fits. the wheels and handle is held on with 3 zippers. I had this same unit in Leather i replaced the strap and it was the zippers that eventually broke. I had to return this one because i could not get my Printer and Laptop in the bag.I bought this bag because of my desire for a detachable option. I like it thus far. Plan ahead because it may take you a few minutes to assemble/disassemble the wheeled part of the case until you get the hang of it (all durable zippers). Nevertheless, a good buy.The roller system is great, although a bit difficult to attach/reattach, as it uses a zipper system. Best to deal with when the case is empty. But over all very well made and spacious. I think the nylon material will be very rugged. A bit heavy.Worth every dollar I spent.3.5 stars - this is a bit bulky but it works. Price was goodOnce u take off back it loses its shape.The item is hard and inflexible. Disappointed
