Why not just have a backup handy? I mean I know you might be stuck if you aren’t home, but I would look at having a backup since you travel so much.

I have bought cases from Travel Pro, Samsonite, and Beis within the last year and have been happy with all three. (All three have different uses…Travel Pro-checked, Samsonite-carry on for 3 days max for business travel (has laptop pocket/charger), and Beis- more for leisure or if I am going to be gone for a week. I am super happy with the Beis for the price that I may end up getting one of their checked bags for a long trip next year.

I have a backup handy, but it's not something that I'd necessarily trust for extensive use, and it's only useful if I'm actually home.

In other words, if I need to switch to it to fly out to a one-off and I'm already home, it's fine. If I'm going out on a four month long tour, I really don't want that to be my main bag for for months. And if I'm in the middle of a tour and thousands of miles from home, that backup is useless to me.
