Small suitcase with top-loading? Does it exist?

I have one of these (or see here also) , seems to be exactly what you’re looking for.

Its main selling point is the garment bag that you can wrap around it. But whether you choose to use that or not, the top unzips completely and you can use it for access inside. Actually, if you have wrapped up the garment bag around it, the top is the only way to get inside.
Alternatively, when you’re packing, you would be able to open up the larger zipper on its side.

And you can take it up as carry-on.

OP, just to be clear are you aware that while some “briefcases” load like this:

in fact many (most?) load like this:

That’s just what you want right?

You could say, all “soft briefcases” load exactly as you describe!

In English, arguably the upper type (what you DON’T want) is more called an “attaché case”, whereas the bottom one that you do want is perhaps called a “legal” briefcase, or indeed just a briefcase.

You also get this sort of thing if you really have to pack stuff in. Bon voyage!

A wheeled duffel bag may suit your purpose to a degree. Most are designed to be laid down and opened, but because of their soft sides and wrap around zipper, they can be opened part way while sitting upright and items retrieved or put in.

But like most top loading bags, the stuff at the top is easily accessible, the stuff further down requires grasping around without seeing what you are grabbing or unpacking everything on top first.

I did some sleuthing for you – as I was also looking for an upgrade to my normal travel bag.

Searches for sample case, catalog case and pilot case led to some promising finds.

However all of these are designed to hold documents, so don’t expect a lot of utility out of them. They do fit your requirements – they open from the top, are wheeled.

The largest I could find was this item over at Amazon UK:

Which is 46x23x35 centimeters.

I think if you need something bigger, you’ll have to search for specialized equipment cases.

Tenba is a good company to ask, as they make custom cases for transporting equipment. For example:

Another option would be to buy a large backpack, and then attach a roller caddy to it. I did this once when I got tired of lugging around my camera bag.
