July’s latest suitcase has CaseSafe, built-in technology that is a Bluetooth tracker that works with both Android Find Hub and iOS Find My. Simply open the suitcase, locate the tracker, pull the tab, and pair it with the respective app. There’s also an ejectable USB-C rechargeable power bank beneath the handle. You can easily smarten up an old suitcase by adding an AirTag and a power bank, but having them built in means you cannot lose the tracker in a stray sock, and I like that the battery is accessible, so you can pop it out in case you need to gate-check your bag.
In every other respect, July makes suitcases that many WIRED staffers have been happy with. I particularly like the wide range of heights on the handle and the distinctive, protective bumpers—my own two kids have played Bumper Suitcase while riding on July luggage at boring moments in the terminal, and they are still undamaged. It’s worth noting that the carry-on is slightly too wide to meet some domestic airlines’ size specifications, so check your favorite airline before you buy any suitcase. —Adrienne So
