Cabin suitcase - Hard-shell lightweight suitcase with 4 wheels - Diamond dark blue

Which suitcase should I choose?

• With us you will find suitcases for different types of trips. A smaller suitcase, such as a carry-on suitcase, is the ideal choice if you are going on a shorter trip or just a weekend getaway. If the trip, however, extends up to about a week, we recommend choosing a cabin suitcase, which has plenty of room and makes it easy to store the most necessary belongings. For longer trips a large suitcase is recommended so you have ample space for all your clothes and other items.

Which is better, a hard or soft suitcase?

• At HOME-TEX.com you can choose between materials such as aluminum and ABS (hardcase), which combine strength and low weight. An aluminum suitcase is for those who want maximum durability and protection. Aluminum is a light yet incredibly strong material, which makes the suitcase impact-resistant, scratch-free and resistant to pressure.
  An ABS (better known as hardcase) suitcase provides maximum protection for your luggage. Hardcase suitcases are often chosen because they can withstand being handled by baggage staff without the risk of permanent damage. Contrary to what their name might suggest, hardcase suitcases are lightweight and do not weigh very much.

How do you set the lock on a suitcase?

• The lock is set to open with the code "0000". You can keep this code or choose a new one yourself. 
  How to change the code:
  - Push the button in the direction of the arrow.
  - Turn the numbers to the code you want (in the correct order).
  - Release the button.
  - Turn the numbers away from your new code so it cannot be seen.

What is a TSA lock?

• A TSA lock (Transportation Security Administration) ensures that your suitcase is properly secured against theft. With a TSA lock you avoid theft of your personal belongings. This type of lock usually comes in two different versions: directly mounted on the suitcase or as a padlock with a combination code. A genuine TSA lock can be recognized by a red icon.

Do you need to change the code on your TSA lock?

• How to do it 
  - Open the suitcase lock with the factory-set code, or the code you previously set.
  - Press the reset button (use a needle or the tip of a ballpoint pen).
  - Set the desired code. The lock makes a clicking sound when you attempt to open it.
  - When you hear the "click" sound the new code is set.
