In the Post design at least, the side protection really is the wheels, though the side panels do have some soft padding as a buffer. And if something is hitting hard enough to toast a wheel, well, not much any soft bag will do to stop that.
They're both very similar case, but the Post wins out for me in portability. Having wheels built in was a godsend over lugging an unwheeled bike bag through an airport.

Thanks. The B2 is updated with wheels too but structurally different as mentioned. It seems a hard case will get more abuse but possibly provides some more protection inside whereas a soft case has less protection but also less abuse?
