1) Amazon.com: Samsonite Luggage Fiero HS Spinner 28, Black, One Size: Clothing

2) Amazon.com: Samsonite Luggage Gravtec 28 Inch Spinner, Black,: Clothing
I'd suggest checking with Bike Friday directly to see what's included with their version of the suitcase. In the past their suitcase has differed from buying one direct elsewhere in that theirs lacked some of the usual interior pockets and padding for clothes and instead came with some packing material for the bike tubes and parts plus some spacers to take the load if the suitcase gets heavy objects dropped on top of it. And they'd drill out the three holes for attaching the case to a trailer if you indicated that you want that option. But check with them on current policy.

There have been at least three suitcases offered by Bike Friday for their bikes: a Samsonite Oyster, a Carlton (both were within the 62" limit), and the current Samsonite F'lite (which is a bit over).
