Repair edge/corner damage to suitcase

That looks like a plastic strip, I'd go with something more fabric-like.

Hmmmh... "seam grip" adhesive and a bit of similar fabric?

A tape like "tesa Extra Power Multi-Purpose Cloth Tape"?

"iron-on fabric patch" or "strip" -- heat glues it on?

I am thinking a strip of brown fabric, or maybe leather, even vinyl can be stuck strongly over the damage as a patch with ordinary pva. Careful brushing of adhesive, maybe some tape to hold it an hour or two - bingo, a neat repair!

Will PVA work on flexible materials?

For a soft fabric, I would find a similar fabric, and sew it on with polyester thread (heavy stuff). This will take mole grips and a darning needle, for the sewing step.

A shop that makes sails for sail boats, they have the gear to sew heavy materials. Maybe they could re-do the outside of your bag, in canvas :-)

Contact cement might be appropriate for adhering two flexible materials together, as long as the surface finish wasn't too much of a problem. But sewing prevents the edges from (easily) lifting.

Yes, absolutely. It is bendy when dry.

I have a "Speedy Stitcher"

That would sew fabric, leather or vinyl. Marking the hole spacing helps a lot.
