Exterior Design

The telescopic handle makes moving this carry-on around an effortless task. There are also two more regular handles, on top of the case and one on the side. Kenneth Cole Reaction Out of Bounds carry-on sports corner guards and skid guards which definitely prolong its lifespan. 

Interior Design

Once you open it, you will find two storage compartments, the primary and secondary one.
