Is this bag carry-on or checked?

It is a 28-inch checked bag. It is too large for most airline carry-on limits and is meant to be checked.

How does ABS compare with polycarbonate?

ABS is lighter and less expensive but flexes and cracks more easily. Polycarbonate shells cost more and hold up better to rough handling.

Does the expansion add much room?

The expandable zipper adds depth to the main compartment, enough for extra clothes or souvenirs. It also makes the bag wider and easier to tip.

How many wheels does it have?

It has eight multi-directional spinner wheels, two per corner, that rotate 360 degrees.

Is it good for frequent flyers?

It suits occasional trips. Travelers who fly often may want a tougher shell and sturdier wheels.

The suitcase itself. Accessories and packing cubes are not included.

Our take on the Rockland Luggage Melbourne 28" Hardside Expandable ABS Spinner F1603

The Rockland Melbourne is a 28-inch checked hardside spinner built from ABS plastic, with an expandable main compartment and eight multi-directional wheels. ABS keeps the shell light, which helps on weight-limited checked bags, but it flexes and scuffs more than polycarbonate or aluminum. It suits occasional travelers and families who want a large, easy-rolling case without paying for premium materials. Against pricier hardsides it gives up shell toughness and wheel quality, not packing space.
