A wise own said a two wheel suitcase is available on line with free postage. Never mind the size, feel the weight.
If you don't mind having two wheels (rather than the latest four wheels) you can get a cheaper suitcase. Karabars sell a two wheel pull along case in lots of patterns. My favourite is the owls.
The price is only £14.99 with free delivery. That saves about five pounds, a quarter of the price of the £20 model. But £20 is still a good price, if you must have four wheels.
If you look at the pictures on eBay and blow them up larger, you'll see that the handles on the top and side are flat, not padded. I think they are assuming that most of the time you will be pulling the suitcase, only carrying it when walking up stairs.
If you want a padded handle, either inspect pictures carefully, or look at suitcases in local shops to decide the style and size you want, before buying from a shop or ordering on line.
Note the 20 inch cases are really weeny, for those airlines which limit you to a tiny carry on case. You might consider a bigger case for daily use, or a set of three.
If I wanted to protect a laptop computer for work, I would pick something more padded and heavyweight, less likely to be damaged by pointed objects, or slashed by a thief. You can lock together the zip tabs on many of the 'good value' cases. They are more secure than shopping trolleys.
