so far so good!
By Mr Whacky
This case appears to be well built and capable of thwarting the baggage handlers most aggressive attempts at destruction... we'll see :)
If you're looking for sizing, so far, Road bikes (58cm frame size)seem to fit in with ease, and it fits my 18" Kona Cindercone with simple removal of just wheels, pedals, seat and handlbars, with loads of room to spare... Ive not tried it, but it looks like it would fit my 19" full suss bike (Specialized Enduro) - but that will probably require removal of rear shock just to cut the length down a bit.
The box itself isnt too heavy, but it is bulky - extra baggage fees for most airlines these days!.. that said, theres loads of extra room to stash most of your spares and bike kit too.
I have an in ternational flight to test this box on in a few weeks. I'll post a follow up to see how it holds up!
I like the kit bags they include!

Thule Round Trip Bike Case
By Cgm
Worried about the actual packing but all for naught! The placement and packing was easy. The case traveled well and no damage to contents. Needs another handle on the sides. I used a locking carabineer on each side to compensate.

Probably best for road bikes
By M. Biellik
I bought this case for a Giant Trance 4 mountain bike. The case is good and offers plenty of protection but it is better suited for road bikes that have a more narrow frame. I had a hard time getting the case to close even with the bike completely broken down. Luckily the straps are very secure and keep the case tight together on the bike to keep it from shifting around. Even with the straps tightened, there are gaps where the top of the case does not touch the bottom part. Overall it is decent and protected my bike, but it would be better without the gaps in the sides.

Good solid case. Heavy, which is good and bad.
By Charles E. Bouldin "Macs"
This case will protect your bike from the roughest handling that it will encounter. It's easy to use, and my standard road bike fits in easily if you remove the wheels, pedals and handlebars. The only problem is that case weighs 33 lbs, and your bike weight can easily take that over the airlines' 50 lb limit. Then, you not only pay for "oversize", you pay for "overweight". I circumvent this---just barely---by removing the seatpost/seat and pedals, and putting those in my carryon bag.
So, the only downside to this case is about the airlines not the case.
