A luggage case has a generally rectangular prismatic configuration of a size and shape similar to a flight bag when in the closed position, and presents a garment bag when in the expanded or open position. The luggage case comprises a support structure and a flexible panel connected to the support structure which extends laterally from the support structure to expose the interior of both the panel and the support structure. A selective attachment device connects the panel to the support structure to close the luggage case, forming the prismatic configuration. A support piece is connected to the interior of the panel to hold packed articles in the appropriate position. A packing pouch is connected to the support structure to extend from the interior of the case opposite of the panel when the case is opened. The packing pouch folds into the interior of the case and overlaps the packed articles when the case is in the closed position. The luggage case includes wheels and a guide handle that allow the case to be maneuvered and transported easily. An auxiliary luggage case attachment mechanism is provided to support an auxiliary luggage case on the closed luggage case so that the user can carry more than one case concurrently.

A luggage case having a generally rectangular prismatic configuration of a size and shape similar to a flight bag when in a closed position and presenting a garment bag configuration for packing clothes when the case is in an open position, comprising: a rigid support structure for the case, said support structure having a U-shape and defining a plurality of edges, said edges forming a perimeter; a flexible exterior panel connected to one of said plurality of edges of the support structure and extendable laterally from the support structure to expose an interior of the panel and the case, the panel forming an exterior wall of the garment bag configuration, the extended panel having a plurality of edges forming a perimeter; a selective attachment device connecting the perimeter of the panel to the perimeter of the support structure to complete the prismatic configuration when the case is in the closed position and to generally enclose the interior of the case; a first broad flexible laminar support piece fixedly connected to an end of the interior of the panel adjacent to and along one of the plurality of edges of the panel at a position to overlap clothes extending along the panel when packed in the garment bag configuration; a second broad flexible laminar support piece fixedly connected to the interior of the panel adjacent to and along the edge of the panel opposite the attachment of the first flexible support piece, at a position to overlap clothes extending along the panel; the first laminar support piece substantially corresponding to the panel in size and having a width sufficient to overlap the second support piece, thus holding the clothes against the panel and generally in the garment bag configuration peripherally around the interior of the case when in the closed position; and a packing pouch having an interior into which to pack articles, the packing pouch having an edge connected to and along the edge of the support structure opposite the exterior panel, the connection forming a living hinge, allowing the packing pouch to extend from the interior of the case oppositely of the panel when the case is in the open position, the packing pouch folding into the interior of the case to be substantially surrounded by the clothes when the case is in the closed position.
