Costs begin at $325 for the carry-on model, $375 for the checked dimension, $395 for a bigger checked model, or $995 for the complete household set. I’m planning on utilizing the carry-on model this weekend, and it simply paired with my iPhone. In each different respect, it’s a traditional bag—it has your customary polycarbonate shell with a (I’ve to say) garish embossed July brand on the facet; smooth-rolling wheels, bumpers, and leather-based finishes. There’s additionally an inset ejectable USB-C battery.
July’s CaseSafe makes it so you do not have to fuss with AirTags, however that also does not cease me from saying you’ll be able to improve your present carry-on equally with an AirTag and an influence financial institution, and it will not value you anyplace close to $300. —Adrienne So
