A suitcase includes a hollow suitcase body which has a front side wall, a rear side wall that is formed with a longitudinally extending recess, and a wheel unit that is mounted on a lower end portion of the rear side wall. A foldable plate is mounted pivotally on the front side wall and is turnable outward to a carrying position in which the foldable plate is generally perpendicular to the front side wall. A cover plate is mounted on the rear side wall to cover the recess. A strap mounting frame is mounted on an inner face of the cover plate and has a top portion provided with a horizontally extending first hook support, a rotatable shaft, and a strap wound on the shaft and having one end fixed thereto. A handle member has two upright tubular portions which are inserted slidably into two upright tubular sleeves formed on the inner face of the cover plate. The handle member further has a horizontal second hook support extending across distal top ends of the tubular portions. The strap has a distal end which is provided with a hook unit that engages removably the first hook support when the strap is wound fully on the rotatable shaft. The hook unit engages removably the second hook support after the strap is pulled to bind an object carried on the foldable plate.
