T-Mobile’s $325 suitcase is real and is designed for the traveler who likes to stay connected

T-Mobile today unveiled the “Un-carrier On,” a magenta-colored suitcase designed to keep travelers connected. The product was created in partnership with publicly traded company Samsara Luggage and includes features such as wireless charging (making it the only carry-on to feature it). It also has a removable power bank with USB-C Power Delivery charging. This will allow users to charge faster by helping them use full batteries on the mobile devices they travel with, whether it’s an iPhone, Android device, or something else.

The Un-carrier On is a great travel companion for those who need to stay connected while traveling

With Tag Smart Technology, users will be able to keep track of their personal items during a “take-off to landing” flight. The suitcase is designed with a flat top to create a workstation for the owners of the suitcase, giving them a place to put a laptop to get some work done before boarding their flights. Or you can pass the time at your doorstep by watching a movie or an episode of your favorite TV series while you wait for your flight boarding announcement.

The case also includes an eight-bag packing set to, as T-Mobile says, “make sure your underwear and your toothbrush never touch each other again.”

Atara Dzikowski, co-founder and CEO of Samsara luggage, said: “This collaboration is a natural fit, aligning two companies with a strong desire to use technology to reinvent the travel experience. The Un-carrier One is a game-changer for travelers and shows. how combining sustainable design with functional technology can pave the way for the world of travel and technology. As a travel lifestyle brand, we believe in the power of connection and connectivity and know that the Un-carrier On will meet the needs of travelers as they enter the busy travel season and beyond.”

The Un-carrier On is available from TravelMagenta.com and is priced at $325 plus tax. Shipping is free and pre-orders are accepted starting today. The suitcase will ship later this month and the Un-carrier On will be available until all supplies are depleted.
At first we weren’t sure if it was a real product. You might remember when T-Mobile introduced Phone BoothE which was supposed to be a soundproof “vertical rectangular cube” available to T-Mobile subscribers on the streets of New York, Washington DC and Seattle. Inside the phone booth, users could charge their devices’ batteries and a screen was available for video calling and web browsing. The screen could also be used as a background for selfies.

Is the Un-carrier On real or is it a joke like the Phone BoothE?

But it all turned out to be just an April Fool’s joke with a subtle swipe at AT&T’s 5G Evolution service that was truly 4G-enhanced. This writer couldn’t tell if the Phone BoothE was real until T-Mobile CEO John Legere said in a video that you know the Phone BoothE is real because it has an “E” at the end . This was a photo of the controversial 5GE tray icon that AT&T subscribers would see on their phones when connected to the carrier’s fake 5G signals. And that revealed the Phone BoothE for what it was; a joke.

But the Un-carrier On is a real product that T-Mobile is really selling. And with the holiday season fast approaching, the suitcase is a great tool for the busy person who is always connected online. And yes, it’s also a great holiday gift for the guy or girl you know who’s always on the go, whether it’s for business, pleasure or both.

Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile, had this to say about the Un-carrier On: “I know there’s a lot to unpack here. Why is T-Mobile, a wireless service provider, launching Well, we’re the Un-carrier – and travel is kind of our bag. So we’ve created One. One Bag. One Real Bag. T-Mobile customers are already covered with the best benefits of travel, keeping them connected across US airways and around the world with Coverage Beyond. But in true Un-carrier mode, we didn’t stop there. We’ve created a smart case to keep your stuff covered, too. Literally.
