TL;DR
Fix Price and similar stores sell medium suitcases for around $15-17, though durability is questionable — generic $20 suitcases are sold everywhere in Naama Bay but quality is unclear.
A traveler's friend bought a medium suitcase at Fix Price in April for $15-17, but no feedback yet on how durable it turned out to be.
Many travelers doubt the quality of the generic $20 suitcases sold on nearly every corner in Naama Bay, prompting people to look for a better alternative.
Departure baggage checks are usually lenient — issues mainly arise only with large quantities of medication that look like a commercial batch. Souvenirs, cosmetics, and suitcases packed with purchases typically aren't checked, and receipts aren't required.
Important warning for anyone filling a new suitcase with souvenirs: don't pack coral or seashells collected from the sea — customs can issue a hefty fine if they're found.
