If it endures I will cherish it. If it falls apart the first time my luggage plays rough I'll be unhappy.
It travelled with me quite a lot but I always took good care of it. You know it is not very sturdy, so you know you don't drop it to the bottom of your suitcase and hope it survives the rigours of travelling. Generally speaking if you apply common sense it will work for many years
I always had it in my backpack next to my camera.
