Yeah, I am starting to realize that with Samsonite you pay for the brand because you can get bags for a third of the price with the same or better warranty. I mean $300 for a carry on is outrageous.

I have been researching and found a brand that will cover all of the damages on the bag EVEN if it was done by the airline. You pay out the ass for them but you only have to buy them once. I have to go back and find the brand but I will post it for whoever is interested.
