If you commute often, you understand the value of straightforward, quality travel gear. If you’re looking for something simple and pretty compact—something that keeps everything organized as you make your way to and from work—the Solo Bryant Rolling Case fits the bill. It combines space, sturdiness, and organizational features to make an incredibly practical travel bag.

Design: Basic but fully functional

The Solo Bryant bag offers no bells and whistles. But in testing it, we found great utility in its simplicity. Made of polyester that feels longlasting, it is ideal for those seeking space, organization, versatility, and some durability.

The padded laptop compartment holds up to a 17.3-inch laptop, which makes the bag more versatile overall, but also causes smaller laptops to sit more loosely in the compartment. The two front zippered pockets contain organizers for files and folders, papers, pens, books, business cards, and other trinkets.

There’s a hidden push-button telescoping handle system (the handle retracts and zips into the bag) that accompanies padded handles. You can easily pick the bag up and carry it when navigating small spaces or anywhere where the wheels aren’t ideal. Otherwise, the basic roller board wheels are compact and seemingly durable, though they are limited in mobility—they only go backward and forward, unlike the 360-degree spinning wheels on more high-end bags.

We found great utility in its simplicity.

Price: Decent price, great construction

With the value it offers, the affordable pricing of this case is worth noting. You can usually find it for around $70, and at this price, the Solo Bryant Rolling Case hits on all of the basic things we need in a mobile office bag. You sacrifice the bells and whistles of more expensive bags, but it still has tons of value and functionality for the price. 

Competition: Solo Bryant Rolling Case vs. Perry Ellis Rolling Laptop Case

While you’ll certainly find value and usefulness in the Solo Bryant Rolling Case, you’ll find much of the same in the Perry Ellis Rolling Laptop Case for nearly the same price. In order to choose between the two, you might need to weigh the nitty-gritty details.

It combines space, sturdiness, and organizational features to make an incredibly practical travel bag.

The Perry Ellis Rolling Laptop Case only fits screens up to 15 inches, but it also has four sets of spinner wheels, lockable zippers, and a telescopic handle with not one, but two heights to accommodate both shorter and taller users.

The Solo Bryant Bag weighs slightly more but has a less boxy shape, making it potentially easier to store both under an airplane seat and in an overhead bin. It also has a five-year warranty (two years longer than the Perry Ellis Case).
