This is not a hard-type case. It's soft. Please do not put anything you don't want to be crushed inside. I used this when I was single, for trips home and travel. It's used, so there are inevitably scratches and stains from bumps on the corners. The storage compartment on the bottom can be used while attached to the main body of the carry-on, or it can be detached and used as a shoulder bag. Suitable for training camps and school trips. The inside has many pockets and is convenient. Price is not negotiable.
