Strengths:    These cases show no wear at all after I've been using them on a daily basis for years. My digital cameras, lenses and projectors are always safe within Porter Cases. The fact that it becomes a wheeled carrier for all my other items is just as important. Truthfully, I feel as if I would not be doing half the things I'm doing are going half the places I'm going had these cases not been a part of my travels.

On a daily basis they are my constant companions. I rest easy knowing that I don't have to worry about my equipment. I rest easy, too, because there is absolutely no strain at all when going from one place to another.


Weaknesses:    I might suggest a label be affixed to the outside of the cases. "This side up for wheeling." If you own the case you know which side is up. When anyone trys to help you, they inevitably try to wheel the cases the way other cases work - wheels on the other side. This is a minor problem, because I seldow allow others to take charge of my delicate equipment. Other than that, I feel as if the cases are designed with the user in mind.

Bottom Line:   
Porter Cases: Porter Case has kept me working, travelling and enjoying both. The ease with which I travel through airports with both of my carry-ons, transport all my cases from one area to another with no strain to my BACK or ARMS is completely due to the Porter Cases that I've owned for the last three years.

EVERYONE is astounded when they see these cases in use. I should have a handful of cards to give out each time I'm in a public place. Everyone loves them. Even airline stewardesses marvel how easily they go up and down the aisles!

Strengths:    Peace of mind, knowing my equipment and valueables are well protected. Very tough.

Weaknesses:    Doesn't make me my coffee in the mornings.

Bottom Line:   
It is a real life saver, especially when traveling with several heavy, bulky cases. I am able to load them all on my PorterCase. They all become one unit that can easily be wheeled around. Traveling can be stressful, the PorterCase has eliminated one of the biggest stresses for me. Anytime I travel, the PorterCase is there, even when it is non-photography related. I put my most valuable items in the PorterCase and am able to carry it on the plane with me. The PorterCase is something I strongly believe in.

Strengths:    Strong, holds what I need in organized fashion, gives me ability to travel with equipment I might have left behind otherwise.
I LOVE my PorterCase!


Weaknesses:    I haven't found any.

Bottom Line:   
As a woman in photography, traveling with cameras and computers, it's essential to have cases that I can physically manage. Portercase is the perfect answer for me - and I can haul everything else on it because it can be used as a luggage cart without concern for the equipment inside. That is a real bonus!!
