Custom-Built Boomboxes You Can Carry Like a Suitcase

Old school suitcases are coming back in style, but not for use on an airplane. Instead, they’re being repurposed as fully functional speaker systems designed to replace and pay homage to traditional boom boxes. That’s where BoomCase comes in.

 

This incredible idea began back in 2009 in California where inventor Mr. SiMo built his own speaker system that only had two criteria: a built-in rechargeable battery and fantastic sound. He succeeded, and a business was born. Today, Mr. SiMo (as he’s known) creates BoomCase for folks around the world. No two are ever the same.

Using old suitcases, and occasionally something else that strikes his fancy, he creates high-quality sound systems that every traveler would love to have in their home. Each BoomCase works with a device that has a headphone outlet. Some even come with Bluetooth connectivity. By plugging in your device, you can listen to music and audio for up to 18 hours per charge.

 

They’re beautiful, functional and pretty cool. They’re also kind of expensive. BoomCases can range anywhere from $400 to $4,000, but the craftsmanship certainly makes them worth the money. If you’re interested in your own one-of-a-kind BoomCase, check out the website today and see what you can find. Hurry up, they don’t last long!
