  Was the Samsonite case used in any movies? I bought a Zero Halliburton because it seemed to me the kind of case Bond would use in this day and age.

  The Samsonite Cases were used in TND, TWINE, DAD and Casino Royale...the case I use for every day business is the diamond holding one seen in DAD which is a Samsonite Xylem. A Xylem is seen in CR towards the end of the movie to hold the money that is to be delivered to Mr. White. On a much larger scale the case from the Swiss Banker that holds the Elektra King Ransom money was also a Samonite case but I have never see one so large commercially offered. On my web site my DAD goodies are held in a Samsonite Xylem that differs a bit from the one you see in the movie internally but the external form is exact.

  Yes indeed. Bond carried one in both the World is Not Enough and Die Another Day...here's a quick link I found showcasing one for sale....

  (This was a press release from around the time of TWINE)
  
  Bond's suitcase:
  007's frequent global travels requires a sturdy suitcase. But in The World Is Not Enough, Bond doesn't pack his clothes in the case. The large, silver case is used for carrying a sizeable amount of cash and then making a quick escape through the building's window.
  
  Samsonite designed the case specifically for the movie, but it is similar to Samsonite's aluminum 800 series. The company is currently running a trivia contest with some of the aluminum cases will be given away as prizes

  Yeah, Dave (Mantis) is definitely a super-collector. His was the first collection I ever saw in person. Always amazing.
