An actual bag,” said Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile. “T-Mobile customers are already covered with the best travel benefits, keeping them connected in America’s skyways and around the world with Coverage Beyond. But in true Un-carrier fashion, we didn’t stop there. We made a smart suitcase to keep your belongings covered, too. Literally.”

Wireless and USB-C Charging – The Un-carrier On is the only carry-on suitcase on the market with wireless charging, and it also comes with a removable battery pack with USB-C charging to ensure all your devices are always powered up. Say goodbye to frantically searching for an outlet in the airport or devices running out of battery on a road trip.Tag Smart Technology –Turn up the relaxation and rest easy knowing the Un-carrier On helps keep track of belongings from takeoff to touchdown and nearly everywhere in between.Workstation on Wheels – Its flat top work surface provides the perfect place to rest a laptop while sending that final email before entering vacation mode, or streaming movies and shows while drowning out the chaos at your gate.Eight-Bag Packing Set – As if the Un-carrier On isn’t already a standout, it also comes with an eight-bag packing set to ensure your underwear and toothbrush never touch again. Just let that one sit a minute.

The Un-carrier On is a suitcase like no other and it’s the perfect travel companion for T-Mobile’s travel benefits that keep customers connected even outside of the signal of T-Mobile’s network.

Thanks to Coverage Beyond, T-Mobile customers on qualifying plans get free Wi-Fi all flight long on the biggest U.S. airlines, 5GB of free high-speed data per month and free texting in 215+ countries and destinations, a year of AAA on Us and exclusive deals on travel, including up to 40% off select hotels and rental cars, when booking on T-MobileTravel.com.

“This collaboration is a natural fit, aligning two companies with a strong drive to use technology to reimagine the travel experience,” said Atara Dzikowski, Co-founder and CEO of Samsara Luggage. “The Un-carrier On is a game changer for travelers and shows how combining durable design with functional tech can pave the way forward 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.”

A bag as smart and stylish as this won’t last long, though.
