^^ If you're going to be afraid to use it, then def get rid of it and get something that you'll use and get your money's worth. I just got the med Bianca in black for a cross country trip. I must admit it did hold it really well in the airport, plane, and everywhere else. When I was walking through the airport, I had to maneuver through a tight space and accidentally scraped my bag against a jagged concrete pillar. I thought for sure it would be damaged as the noise sounded horrible. To my surprise, not even a minor scratch was detected. I think it holds up better than people think. I think the soft lambskin leather throws people off.
