A luggage case with a pair of wheels located at the lower edge has a handle assembly that can be folded into a side wall or swung outwardly into pulling (or pushing) relation. A two-part brace maintains a quasi locking of the handle assembly when in the open position such that it may be closed by merely applying a significant rotating force to the assembly about its pivotal interconnection with the case. A latch operates to secure the handle assembly within the case recess when closed or during nonuse and includes a finger actuated button for releasing the latch.
