For some reason "cases" is not accepted. Have flagged this up to TPTB.

Connotatively, "cases" could be made of cardboard or some other material, and they might have a different shape than a valise. I think the idea of "satchel" is what's the common thread.

It should be "I need only two suitcases."

Both translations are correct. Adverb placement is optional.

Shouldn't there be an accent? The word "solo" without the accent is "alone" or "lonely" so the sentence is literally, "I need two suitcases lonely."

Yes! "Sólo" should be considered an abbreviation for "solamente"
