I can attest to that. I recently flew international and needed to bring this computer. I took the plastic handles off to fit it in my suitcase. Security took it somewhere for additional checks and then wrapped it in 2 layers of bubble wrap (no box) and flew/shipped it to me. The case had been dented, dropped multiple times, one of the thumb screws half worn away by friction! I was livid. Anyway the case is still fine. Only problem was I used the wrong screws to mount the 3.5 hd so it came loose and shook around. Anyway I reassembled it all, stress tested it, and all is fine. After that it was in the back of my friends trunk next to toys and bikes for his kids. It rattled around and one almost accident it flew against the bike, the entire side of the case got scratched up. Still worked fine. So if you actually move with the box it came in, properly secure the hd, and make sure the thumb screw that locks down the pcie cards is tight, you can probably throw this thing down the stairs.

upper and lower plastic handles are flexing, not sturdy at all. Full size video card will not fit, case is reasonably well build but accessing motherboard is difficult,you have to remove side panel with power button,reset switch and the wiring hanging on it, yak!

Yes you can say that "lots of dings"...Actually the case is quite solid not easy to be scratched up, anyway you have to hand it over to those "tough boys" in airports. Good luck.

It is not a hard case, but it is rigid. I carry my dell ultralight in a Timbuk2 messenger bag and it protects it well from water (leaky water bottles); bumps; dropping bag; flexing of bag while riding bike, etc. I love this case!

Yes, it is very sturdy. I don't think they should bang it on something repeatedly, but waving it around will never break it.

I dont pull or tug at my case often like you. What I use it for its been durable enough and hasn't given me any trouble at all. I love it and its been great!

It's more sturdy than others I've had, but I don't think it's up to the repetitive travel you speak of. Maybe something industrial is what you need

It is a bulky carrying case. It is strong and I would use it for transport, but not for travel.

I've been transporting it at least weekly for the past year and haven't had any problems. However, I also bought the optional case cover and keep it covered when I'm not using it.

I have found it heavy and durable with one exception - the wheels can be a little fragile. I have a 2 inch drop from where my case rests to the floor and on one occasion the case got accidentally pushed over the lip and caused the wheels which are plastic to bend and crack

So far, no issues. It is a case made with a material that is forgiving in terms of wear. The hinged covers over the ports stay put and have not exhibited any signs of fatigue or failure. Also, although it does not feel like it when you hold it , the case is of a slight non-slip nature . . . unlike the bare phone that tended to be rather slick.

Not hard at all but, I wouldn't want to take this case on and off on a daily basis. The case fits pretty snugly. For more power on the go I carry one of those rechargeable mini portable batteries.

Oh yeah I know what you mean. Well, I've had it for about a week so far & I've used it A LOT. I haven't had that problem yet. I don't think you'll have a problem but then again I'm not 100% sure. This is a pretty High Quality case. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Just bend the case a little, it wont break unless you probably are too rough. But it easy

I've dropped it a few times and it hasn't broken yet. I think it is a great case! It is a bit slippery so if you are holding it with your shoulder, it might slip out but its durable. I love it

I personally think it's better than my commuter otter. It's very sturdy and I've dropped it several times. Hope this helps

Yes, absolutely. I've been using everyday in construction for the last six months and it hasn't shown a bit of wear. I work in utilities so I'm in and out of deep trenches and the clip case get's roughed up a lot. Just wipe off the dirt and mud and it's good as new. I was skeptical of the velcro, but it's still sticking plenty. The clip part of the case is really strong, doesn't sag a bit. I like the sideways mount too, very easy to access cell or mute a call and gives you the flexibility to move around without feeling it against your hip.

Not hard. However I don't use it that often. The feature I liked about this case most is the build it kick stand.
