To find the surface area of the suitcase, we need to calculate the area of each side and then add them all together.

The area of the front and back sides (22.5 inches high and 16 inches wide) is calculated as (22.5 * 16) * 2 = 720 in².

The area of the two smaller sides (9.5 inches long and 16 inches wide) is calculated as (9.5 * 16) * 2 = 304 in².

The area of the two larger sides (9.5 inches long and 22.5 inches high) is calculated as (9.5 * 22.5) * 2 = 427.5 in².

Now, let's add up the areas of all the sides: 720 + 304 + 427.5 + 427.5 = 1879 in².

Therefore, the surface area of the suitcase is 1,879 in².
