The 10 Best Rolling Briefcases

Whether you’re a professional, traveler, or student, having a rolling briefcase by your side is both an ergonomic and convenient solution.

Rolling your belongings instead of carrying them on your back offers many health benefits, plus it gives you a chance to organize yourself better.

In this article, I’ll list my favorite rolling briefcases available on the market along with a few other recommendations for choosing one.

Solo Gramercy Rolling Briefcase

Solo Gramercy Rolling Briefcase

  • Padded 17.3’’ laptop compartment
  • Easy glide wheels
  • Retractable telescopic handle
  • 5 year warranty

If you’re a daily traveler that needs a reliable rolling briefcase, we recommend checking out this Gramercy model. This briefcase features a 17.3’’ laptop compartment that’s padded perfectly.

It’s made from water resistant denim with a vinyl material that’s strong and durable. It’s not waterproof but should be fine if you encounter light rain.

You also get a ton of storage space to fit all your daily needs. It weighs only 8.8 lbs, which is perfect for flights as iit will fit under the seat or in the overhead compartment.

The telescopic handle is 39’’ when extended and retracts completely into a zippered cover. The wheels are durable and perform well, but they’re not spinner wheels.

If you run into any kind of issue concerning durability you should definitely use the company’s 5 year warranty. It covers mechanical and moving parts, including the handle, zippers, or wheels.

Pros

  • Lots of storage space
  • Fits a 17.3’’ laptop without issues
  • Wheels perform well

Cons

Mancini Deluxe Leather Rolling Business Case

Mancini Deluxe Leather Rolling Business Case

  • Made from real leather
  • Removable 17.3’’ laptop sleeve
  • 38’’ tall telescopic handle
  • Weighs 11 lbs

The Mancini deluxe rolling briefcase found its place on our list due to its sharp looks and real leather material. However, this Canadian-made model offers more than just looks.

The quality of this model is exceptional. Since most of the briefcase is made from genuine leather, it will be a bit stiff at first, but after the initial break-in period, it becomes truly soft.

This model can be used as a catalog case and offers plenty of holes that help you organize your belongings. The wheels and telescopic handle both perform smoothly.

What we really liked is the great customer service that goes above and beyond if you have any issues. The only downside to this rolling case is the locks that are made from very thin material.

Overall, people that got this model agree that it provides great value for the money. It also looks professional, has a decent capacity to store papers, and the removable laptop sleeve is a bonus.

Pros

  • Attractive design
  • Smooth wheels
  • Great customer service

Cons

  • Locks are very thin

McKlein Cowhide Leather Wheeled Ladies Briefcase

McKlein Cowhide Leather Wheeled Ladies Briefcase

  • Made from Cowhide leather
  • Built-in 17’’ laptop compartment
  • Weighs 7.9 lbs with the frame

For the ladies on the go who need an attractive briefcase that’s also practical, we highly recommend the McKlein Cowhide leather model.

What we liked most about this briefcase is its ease of use. Unlike other rolling bags that have built-in wheels and handles, this one is detachable. The wheeled base comes off super easy.

Another great feature is the ABS frame that protects your briefcase from bumps. This type of frame is highly effective against chemical corrosion and the environment.

To add a layer of security, the manufacturer has also included a weatherproof cover.

Storage

With regards to storage, you can slide a 17’’ laptop inside and it has enough room for cables and files. The design doesn’t offer any width but you can store up to 250 legal-size files.

The main compartment refuses to stay open but you can add Velcro underneath the flaps on the inside. Overall, ladies that got this briefcase love it for its looks, sturdiness, and performance.

Pros

  • Sophisticated design
  • Strong and detachable frame
  • Weatherproof cover

Cons

  • Can’t store much

Samsonite Xenon Laptop Mobile Office Spinner

Samsonite Xenon Laptop Mobile Office Spinner

  • Made from ballistic polyester
  • Multi Directional spinner wheels
  • Built-in 15’’ padded laptop compartments

If you need to haul not one, but two laptops on a daily basis, you’ll appreciate the Samsonite Xenon rolling briefcase. The compartments are padded perfectly for two 15’’ laptops.

This model features spinner wheels that switch to multiple directions fast, making it easier to navigate busy airports, metros, and boulevards.

There’s plenty of room to store various objects inside those main compartments but you also get a few smaller ones, including a zippered mesh pocket, a slip pocket, and 2 front pockets.

This lightweight case weighs only 3.7 lbs, making it easy to lift as well. If you carry a laptop we recommend placing it in the compartment closer to the handle or it may fall out when opened.

Some people complained that the handle feels flimsy when they overload the case. So, to make the briefcase a bit more secure, the manufacturer has added cross-straps in each compartment.

Pros

  • Holds 2 laptops
  • Great wheel performance
  • Lightweight and easy to handle

Cons

  • Handle gets flimsy when overloaded

If you’re a lawyer, a realtor, a teacher, or someone that deals with a lot of paperwork, you will appreciate the space and performance the Solo rolling briefcase provides.

The body of this case is firm with plenty of storage space and compartments. You get a padded sleeve that will hold a 15.4’’ laptop as well as a removable hanging file compartment.

The front of the case is also well organized with lots of pockets. The only thing we’d recommend is not to overload this briefcase. It’s pretty low, so the handle becomes difficult to manage.

Pros

  • Well organized with lots of pockets
  • Plenty of space for files
  • Padded laptop sleeve for security

Cons

  • Handle difficult to manage on overload

Alpine Swiss Rolling 17” Laptop Briefcase

This rolling briefcase looks similar to the Solo model on our list. This one is a bit more rigid-looking and has fewer compartments.

The description states that it’s made of vaquetta (calfskin) leather but customers have reported a leather-like look. It’ll hold a 17’’ laptop, which is better than the Solo, depending on your needs.

You can also store legal and A4 documents. People that like leatherette appreciate this case and find it useful, but if you want real leather, check out the Mancini Deluxe model on our list.

Briggs & Riley Work Rolling Briefcase

If you’re looking for a spacious rolling briefcase that can hold some clothes, this one is pretty decent. What you get are 2 large well organized compartments and some front space.

You can slide a 17’’ laptop here without any issues and you get a tablet sleeve. The outside fabric is made of ballistic nylon, which will protect the case from dirt, rain, and accidental bumps.

This model performs really well and offers plenty of space. Most people that get it are very pleased and especially like the smooth, quiet spinner wheels.

Wenger Luggage Granada Pro Rolling Briefcase

If you’re constantly trying to find your keys while traveling, this model has a solution in its front compartment. Aside from tons of small compartments, it has a removable key fob for your keys.

The wheels on this tough backpack are extremely quiet, but they’re not 360º spinner wheels.

The Wenger rolling briefcase might not have a fancy design, but it’s very practical if you’re traveling for business. It offers plenty of room and a compartment that holds a 15.6’’ laptop.

Samsonite Women's Spinner Mobile Office

If you’re a lady that likes to stay organized, you can’t go wrong with the Samsonite women’s model. It is petite but offers plenty of space with a compartment for your 15.6’’ laptop.

It also has carry handles with a button up feature so they don’t flap around. Women that got the Samsonite rolling briefcase are blown away by its looks, compartments, and ease of use.

Perry Ellis 8-Wheel Spinner Mobile Office

The Perry Ellis mobile office was created for busy professionals that travel a lot and need something strong and reliable. This is a small and compact briefcase that will fit a 13.5’’ laptop.

You get the standard front pocket and pretty large compartments. Most people that got this model love the spinner wheels as it saves their back and shoulders.

To use it successfully you will have to focus on weight distribution because it has the tendency to lean over. It fits under the seat on most flights but it can’t be too full.
