I have lost a couple of rivets off the corners of my Aries cases over the years, most probably when the Southwest baggage handlers threw them either on to or off of the baggage carts. I have witnessed this, but didn't get too offended because I knew they couldn't achieve the desired result using hand power and gravity. I am actually missing one whole corner on one case, but the case is still intact. Anvil may agree to build case shells without insides with Sessions hardware. This would be the best case you could find on today's market since the interior probably represents more hand work for them than the shell. Let us know what you find out.
