Two top openings, the narrowest size bands, and "TSA approved" on a cover
Travelkin Stretch suitcase cover, 19–32 in
The least stretchy blend on this shelf, paired with the narrowest size bands — an internally consistent pair of choices, under a title that claims an approval that does not exist for covers.
The two choices on this page fit together. Eight per cent spandex is about half the stretch of the three 15 per cent covers on this shelf, and the size bands narrow accordingly: 19 to 22, 23 to 26, 27 to 29 and 30 to 32 in, against bands of up to five inches elsewhere. A maker who offers less elasticity and then asks less of it is being coherent, and it is the only pair of numbers on this shelf that can be read against each other. The practical consequence is that the band has to be right, because there is less give to absorb an error — which is the buying tip at the top of this page in a sentence.
The build is the better of the two patterns here. Two separate top openings, one for the telescoping handle and one for the carry handle, with fabric between them, where two covers on this shelf cut a single wide opening and leave the top of the case more exposed on any case whose handles sit apart. There are zips on both sides, and the base has both a zip and an elastic buckle, which is what keeps the hem away from the wheels rather than riding down into them.
The title is the problem. It sells the cover as “Tsa Approved”, and that program recognizes locks — the two locks published in this hub say “TSA-recognized” in their own specifications precisely because a recognized lock can be opened and relocked instead of cut off. A fabric cover with holes cut in it has nothing to approve. This hub has already met the same error on a luggage scale sold as TSA approved; in both cases the words are search terms rather than certifications. Beyond that, there is no identification window and no tag cut-out, like every listing on this shelf, and the identical cover appears under a second Amazon reference at a lower price with the same five bullets word for word.

What travelers ask
Can a luggage cover be TSA approved?
Not in the sense the title implies. The program that word points at recognizes luggage locks, so that a screener can open and relock a bag rather than cut the lock off — the two locks published in this hub carry "TSA-recognized" in their own specifications for exactly that reason. A cover is a fabric skin with openings cut in it; there is nothing to approve and nothing to unlock. This hub has already met the same category error on a luggage scale advertised as TSA approved. The word in a title is a search term, not a certification.
Is 8 per cent spandex a problem?
Not on its own, and the rest of the page is consistent with it. Three covers on this shelf are 15 per cent spandex; this one is 8, which is roughly half the stretch for the same 300 grams of fabric. What matters is that the size bands narrow to match: 19 to 22, 23 to 26, 27 to 29 and 30 to 32 in, where the 15 per cent covers run bands of up to five inches. A maker who claims less stretch and then asks less of it is being coherent — and it means the band has to be got right, because there is less give to absorb a mistake.
What do two top openings get you?
A fit on more cases. A wheeled case has a telescoping handle and usually a separate carry handle, and they are not always side by side; one large opening either misses the second handle or has to be cut wide enough to leave the top of the case bare. Two openings put fabric between them. Of the five covers in the American half of this hub, two are built this way and two have a single top opening — and the clear PVC cover has cut-outs at the top and on one named side only.
