I've had mine for years and have put many tens of thousands of miles on them. All over Europe, Taiwan etc. I have never had to replace one. I have cheapy luggage and always have more luggage than suitcase on the return journey - they have never let me down. Just cinch real tight around suitcase and you're good to go.
If you're paranoid - use two (one each end of case).
