New Design Not What I Wanted
I have the original Tarmac 25 and wanted a bit more space for a longer trip, so I ordered the 28 inch version. Upon comparison, I realized the 28 I received was not the same design as the 25. I called Eagle Creek and was informed that the Tarmac series had been redesigned in January, 2011 and the features I had grown to love had been removed. Comparing the new design to a Hovercraft that my wife has I found they had a lot in common. If I wanted the cavernous interior of the Hovercraft, that's what I would have ordered. I really liked the multiple little compartments of the original design and the shoebox (that had been removed in the new design). I returned the Tarmac 28 and fortunately found the last remaining old design on line and bought it from another retailer.

NOT the item pictured
I already own this exact item and wanted to purchase the same as a Christmas gift for a relative. The picture of the interior of this Tarmac 28 on your website (Amazon.com) displays the OLD interior of the suitcase. Eagle Creek said this item was redesigned in early 2011 and now does NOT include the shoe storage area and is basically different in all compartments. I was unhappy to see that your representation on this item was false. I believe my relative will be returning the suitcase.
Broken zipper, rubber guard after 1 trip
I did some research around the internet and this seemed to be the best luggage available. It feels light but sturdy and looks nice, rolls and balances well. The first time I was packing it, the front pocket zipper broke loose (its a very small zipper so wont hold up to much pressure of overpacking) and chewed up a bunch of the zipper teeth so it now won't close. Not a huge deal since its the front pocket, but frustrating. Also the stitching is unraveling on one of the rubber guards on the bottom corner of the bag. For what is supposed to be a rugged bag for airline travel, I am very disappointed with durability after only one trip.
