Rimowa
RIMOWA Original Cabin — It is a superbly made, iconic aluminum luxury case for someone who values design and is comfortable with dents and a very high price, but its 21.7 × 15.8 × 9.1-inch dimensions make it a poor universal recommendation for strict carriers.

Samsonite
Samsonite Proxis Global Carry-On Spinner — The strongest choice for travelers who care most about low empty weight, as it is a remarkably light 4.7 pounds at 22 × 14 × 9 inches yet has a resilient Roxkin shell, dual spinner wheels, lock, and modest expansion.
