ABSTRACT:
A soft-sided roller supported luggage or case with telescopic handle rods is provided with housings that secure to at least two of the top wall, end wall, or rear wall of the case. In one embodiment the housings are secured to all three of the top, rear, and end walls. The housings extend less than the full length of the case leaving considerable extra storage space within the case and, for external housings, reducing the chance of bending or other damage to the housings. The rigid connection between the housings and at least at two walls and preferably three walls provides sufficient support for holding the weight of the case with the handle rods extended. The housings on an internal case are preferably located at or close to the corners of the rear and end walls of the case to again increase the unobstructed storage space in the case.
