Customers are heaping praise on the Soft Stripe Underseat, awarding it an impressive 4.8 out of five stars. One satisfied customer said: “After lugging heavy bags around with me for years, this under-seat case has been a game changer! Fits perfectly under seats (even budget airlines), looks great and has really helpful compartments. 10/10.”
Another customer expressed their satisfaction, saying: “Beautifully made small under seat case which was perfect for my carry on luggage. Easy to pull around and the storage compartments are just perfect for everything I needed. So pleased that I bought this.”
A third buyer was particularly impressed by the case’s durability, stating: “I tried an alternative brand recently, to use as an under-seat bag, but the adjustable handle broke after a single use. This bag is much better quality. As an added (unforeseen) bonus the adjustable handle is longer than on my previous case. I will no longer have to slightly stoop over when pulling it through the airport.”
One purchaser highlighted its practicality for certain airlines and short trips, commenting: “perfect for under the seat on EasyJet and ideal for overnight stays,” and adding “should last a good number of years. Especially like the laptop compartment.”
Despite the glowing reviews, one traveller did point out a minor issue: “Well made and ideal for the cabin. Only one issue, when moving the zips around the corner of the bag, you sometimes have to manoeuvre carefully or it stops moving.”
