Overview
A frequent traveler gets a leather briefcase with an expandable compartment, a buckle closure and a SmartPocket that slides over a suitcase's upright handles. Shoulder carry and comfortable handles move it between meetings.
The expandable section absorbs extra paperwork, and the SmartPocket slides over a rolling suitcase's handle for easier transport. Genuine leather adds weight and care needs compared with fabric.
Who it's for
A lawyer, salesperson or manager carrying files and a laptop will use the expandable section and the three compartments. Minimalists who prefer a slim, light case should look at a slim model.
Pros and cons
- SmartPocket for luggage handles

Performance notes
The handles carry the weight of extra files, and the SmartPocket slips over the upright handle of rolling luggage so the case does not need to be carried. The leather exterior holds its shape under load.
