Love this design. Seriously beautiful piece. And props to them for backing it with a lifetime warranty. Question for Athan, if the polycarbonate is so unbreakable why do you need the aluminium bumpers?

@glenn_rogers appreciate the love Glenn! Lifetime warranty anywhere in the world too, so if you have an increment in Paris we’ll save you with speed. Regarding the bumpers, polycarbonate is a super bouncy and strong material that is lightweight and perfect for luggge. Whenever there is a fall, if the case lands on the flat side the impact is spread out, the PC bounces, and damage minimised. But if lands on a corner, the impact is focused on one area and chances of breakage or popping in are higher. The aluminium bumpers reinforce that strength and allow for a lot of that impact to be absorbed by the metal.

Cheers @ath Having broken plenty, that makes sense! Awesome.

Wasn't there a bunch of issues with luggage that have built in chargers. TSA didn't allow them or something? How are you getting around this?

@stephen_colman hey Stephen! There was an issue when the airlines and TSA standards changed to stop all batteries from being stored in the cargo area - due to the fact that if something happens, like a phone exploding, it's difficult to access and resolve. Batteries, like powerbanks or your phone, are allowed in as carry-on. We've also made our powerbank ejectable, should there be any desire to check in your luggage too.

Thanks Paul! We hope our beautiful Carry-On will help people travel better along the way, but doesn't hurt to look good doing it, right?! :P

Product looks great and promising. Exciting thing for me is the fact that in heels or not I can adjust the height of the handle to suit me. Can't tell you how good this is. I've pre-ordered, can't wait to start flying with it.

Pros:

Looks good, charges my laptop on the move, handle that stops at whatever height I want! (so good depending on my shoe choice of the day)

Cons:

No check-in version, only just launched

Thanks Shamini. The multistop handle was definitely one area we designed to be as comfortable as possible. We'd love for you to continue to give us feedback once your case arrives!

As a Shopify partner, I usually discover great products sold online. This is no exception. Athan, talk to us about your journey designing this and the problem you were solving.

@elbahnasy Thanks Iz! We’re pretty excited to be launching July with the world. We started July as an antidote to overpriced and cheaply made luggage, and the poor customer experience around it. Most products in the travel industry are made cheap, rely heavily on third party distributors and retailers, and no one wants to talk to the end consumer - not the brand, not the manufacturer, not the retailer. July changes that. We spoke to a heap of frequent travellers and seen where the market is going (and where it had failed). From this we designed a gorgeous carry-on case from the wheels up! During the design process in Melbourne we involved the partner factory from Day 1 to better understand the complexity around creating something new. We have essentially re-created new parts for every single item on the case; nothing is off the shelf. This meant we needed to create new moulds and re-tool the factory to produce exactly what we needed. This had increased our development time significantly but the end result is that we have a beautiful carry-on case that we fully own the design IP on, and is made specifically to our requirements. The result: a gorgeous piece of travel hardware. 100% new German polycarbonate case (nothing recycled here!) that is then reinforced with anodised aluminium corners (feedback was corners on a lot of cases get bent in a lot!). We designed a telescopic handle that has over 25 different heights, so no matter how tall you are or what shoes you’re wearing, it’s always comfortable. We’ve also included an ejectable battery pack into the handle with USB-C that charge your MacBookPro fast; TSA approved and safe to fly. There’s so much more stuff we packed into July’s first case. From the bottom of our hearts in Melbourne we’d love to show Product Hunters (and the world) just what we can do hear from little ol’ Australia.
