Metal Luggage, Is it the Way to Go?The Best of Metal Luggage
Ok, so I’m addicted to a silly TV game show called Deal or No Deal. There is a bit of intrigue, risk, misfortune and humor. What more could we ask for? The hubby’s favorite part is that there are beautiful models holding the cases. Like lots of the male contestants on the show, I think the hubby has actually memorized the names of the 24 beauties… now, if he could only remember my name and maybe our anniversary. Guess that’s too much to ask.
My favorite part is when the audience actually boos the banker. How silly is that? Everyone over 4th grade math, realizes that the banker’s offer is a simple calculation combining the value of the remaining cases divided by the number of cases (aka: average value). Simple math. I give my 3rd grader an M&M each time he’s within $50 of the banker (he’s so good, I have to buy the large bag and thank goodness the show is only once a week or we’d need a Weight Watcher’s version of M&Ms).
Ok, so how is this relevant? If – unlike my husband you can get beyond the beauties- you might actually notice those shiny briefcases that hold the dollar amounts. Well, thanks to Deal or No Deal, metal business cases have made resurgence in the business world. Sales of hard-sided, aluminum business cases have been on the rise,. and with good reason.
There is something wonderfully solid about these cases. Plus, they are undeniably distinctive and virtually indestructible. Zero Haliburton is the original American manufacturer of the metal business case; while other favorite brands include Rimowa and TZ Case from Irv’s Luggage.
The advantages of metal business cases are that they are remarkable strong and durable and extremely lightweight. Most are made out of aluminum, although recent additions to the line are hard-sided polycarbonates. While these cases are virtually indestructible, more importantly they also provide wonderful protection for the case’s contents (think laptop, pda, Blackberry).
Zero Haliburton cases have “heat-tempered aluminum shell has the strength of steel at only one quarter the weight”. The styling is professional but understated. Metal business cases have all the enhancements of their leather cousins: pouches for cell phones or pdas; file organizers; business card pockets; padding and straps for laptops. The downside is that they do not expand.
Prices range from $139 for TZ Cases to the higher end brands, Zero Halliburton and Rimowa at $295 – $725. Colors include silver, gunmetal, ice blue, glacial blue, and black. My personal favorite, is the Zero Haliburton 4″ Computer Attache in Gunmetal Irv’s Luggage. It screams style and I like the color better than the silver ones. Maybe I’ll trade in the hubby on one.
