Carry on luggage recs for under $100?

For less than 100 I'd get that Travelpro. I got a similar one for my SO and she likes it, although she's not sure she'd get another spinner.

For a non-spinner and just over your budget, I'd get an EC flatbed. We have several of the larger versions and they're great.

I bought 4 or 5 of the Travelpro Maxlite 4 pieces in the last year. They've survived two trips to DC & two transatlantic trips so far (carry on only; I never check). I got two international sized rollaboards; great, except that my shoulder complained after dragging the rollaboard long distances. So I gave it to a nephew & bought the international sized spinner. At first, I was afraid that the wheels on the spinner wouldn't be robust enough to handle long treks over irregular surfaces, but they have held up admirably so far.

To go w/the spinner, I got a tote-bag style travelpro piece from the crew line...I've used it twice, but don't especially like it. Too stiff/constructed, too heavy when empty, though it does have a padded tablet pocket and cord storage zipper pouch. It ended up being too large and bulky to use as a daily handbag while traveling; I had to bring a smaller, softsided purse rolled up inside.

I bought my better half the small, softsided tote, which fits beneath an airplane seat. It holds a surprising amount, and I think I'll get another one for myself.

So far, the Maxlite 4 has been durable, sturdy enough for carry on use and the occasional checking, and the medium blue color is distinctive enough to make it easy to find without being a loud novelty.

I used a lovely matched set of Tumi for years, until a trolley handle broke & Tumi would no longer fix it. Not so sure that Samsonite buying Tumi is doing much for the brand. But the Maxlite 4 is great quality for the price. Try luggagepros.com online....great post-sale customer service, as I bought a couple different sizes & returned in my quest to find "just enough" room for my usual stuff.

I'll throw in a rec for the Eagle Creek toiletry kits; lightweight, hanging hooks, unbreakable mirror, mesh pockets.

Eagle creek is nice, but don't know if you'll be under $100. Ebags has 30% off sending soon.
