opposing walls forming minor faces, opposing walls forming major faces, and opposing end walls together forming an article defining an enclosed space;

a line of separation formed in the minor faces and at least one end wall along which the article separates;

the line of separation intersects a common edge between one minor face and at least one of the end walls perpendicularly to said end wall; and

at least one support element operably associated with at least one of the opposing end walls.

2. The luggage case of claim 1 , wherein

a first portion of the line of separation extends along a first portion of the opposing minor faces at a location nearer to one of said opposing major faces than the other of said opposing major faces; and

a second portion of the line of separation extending along a second portion of said opposing minor faces in a direction away from said one of said opposing major faces and towards the other of said opposing major faces.

3. The luggage case of claim 2 , wherein the first portion of the line of separation and the second portion of the line of separation extend in two different directions.

4. The luggage case of claim 2 , wherein the second portion of the line of separation further extends across one of the opposing major faces.

5. The luggage case of claim 2 , wherein a third portion of the line of separation extends along a third portion of said opposing minor faces in a third direction away from said second direction.

6. The luggage case of claim 1 , wherein the at least one support element comprises a plurality of spinner wheels.

7. The luggage case of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of spinner wheels are mounted on at least one of the end walls; and

the line of separation passes between the plurality of spinner wheels.

8. The luggage case of claim 6 , wherein the plurality of spinner wheels are mounted on at least one of the end walls; and

the line of separation extends along a major face.

9. The luggage case of claim 1 , wherein

the at least one support element comprises at least two spinner wheels; and

the second portion of the line extends around at least one of the spinner wheels proximate the spinner wheel.

10. A luggage case comprising:

opposing front and rear major faces, top and bottom faces and left and right minor faces together defining an enclosed volume;

a line of closure formed in the minor faces and at least the top face along which the luggage case separates;

a portion of the line of closure extending linearly along the top face and proximate a top front edge or a top rear edge; and

at least two support elements coupled to the bottom face,

wherein:

a first portion of the line of closure extends along a first portion of one of the minor faces at a location nearer to the rear face than the front face; and

a second portion of the line of closure extends along a second portion of one of the minor faces in a direction away from the rear face and towards the front face, and

one of the first or second portion of the line of closure extends across one of the opposing major faces.

11. The luggage case of claim 10 , further comprising a zipper and a hinge positioned along at least a portion of the line of closure.

12. The luggage case of claim 10 , wherein the line of closure intersects at least one of the top and bottom faces perpendicularly to said top or bottom face.

13. The luggage case of claim 10 , wherein a portion of the line of closure extends across one of the opposing major faces.

14. The luggage case of claim 10 , wherein the at least two support elements comprise spinner wheels.

15. The luggage case of claim 14 , wherein the spinner wheels are mounted on the bottom face; and

the line of closure passes between the spinner wheels.

16. The luggage case of claim 14 , wherein the spinner wheels are mounted on the bottom face; and

the line of separation extends along a major face.

17. A luggage case comprising:

opposing front and rear major faces, top and bottom faces and left and right minor faces together defining an enclosed volume;

a line of closure formed in the minor faces and at least the top face along which the luggage case separates;

a portion of the line of closure extending linearly along the top face and proximate a top front edge or a top rear edge; and

at least two support elements coupled to the bottom face,

wherein:

a first portion of the line of closure extends along a first portion of one of the minor faces at a location nearer to the front face than the rear face,

a second portion of the line of closure extends along a second portion of one of the minor faces in a direction away from the front face and towards the rear face,

the at least two support elements comprise at least two spinner wheels; and

the second portion of the line extends around at least one of the spinner wheels proximate the spinner wheel.

18. The luggage case of claim 17 , further comprising a zipper and a hinge positioned along at least a portion of the line of closure.

19. The luggage case of claim 17 , wherein the line of closure intersects at least one of the top and bottom faces perpendicularly to said top or bottom face.

20. The luggage case of claim 17 , wherein a portion of the line of closure extends across one of the opposing major faces.
