I always go for a one-of-a-kind suitcase, because it's easy to spot at the airport and easy to describe when you've lost it.
I was going for a colour that isn't black. My other musts are: hardshell, 4 wheels, not too heavy and medium sized. I found out that especially medium sized is hard to define, it seems to be somewhere between 61cm-65cm in height and the capacity can range from 60 litres to 75 litres.

Up until now I used a big duffel bag on wheels and I always had room to spare. Now I want something offering a bit more protection.

You could always just put a large 'STOLEN FROM IRIDAL' sign on the side. That method kept my trash cans from getting pinched! (I guess nobody wanted trash cans that said Iridal on them...)

I like the hardshell cases that have four large clamp closures around the three sides. I find them to be much more secure than just having two closures on the one side, even with a web strap. I have aluminum cases that I use for my camera equipment and dive gear, and with the four clamps, have never felt as if anything was going to open accidentally.

Of course they didn't steal your trash cans, because they knew if they did I would find the culprits and then bang them on the head with my purse. Repeatedly.

Interesting... Why do you prefer the Kindle? I've been using my Sony 505 for the last... almost two years now, and love it. I can't imagine a reader being any more effective. But now you say you prefer your Kindle over your Sony... Please give me a couple of your reasons, if you don't mind.
