Luggage Metal, Is this the way forward? The Best of Metal Luggage Ok, so I'm addicted to a stupid game show called Deal or No Deal. It is a bit of intrigue, danger, tragedy and humor. What can you ask for? The husband favorite part is that there are beautiful models holding the cases. Like many male candidates on the show, I think the husband has actually memorized the names of the 24 beauties ... Now if he could not remember my name and maybe our anniversary. Guess that's asking too much.
My favorite part is when the public actually whistling the banker. How stupid is that? Everyone in math class in grades 4, realizes that the banker's offer is a simple calculation combining the value of the remaining cases, divided by the number of cases (aka: the average value). Simple math. I give my 3rd grader an M & M every time it is less than $ 50 of the banker (he is so good, I have to buy the large bag and thank you God, the show is only once a week or we would have need version of a Weight Watcher of M & Ms).
Ok, so how is this relevant? If - unlike my husband, you can go beyond the beauty you might even notice these bright napkins that hold dollar amounts. Well, thanks to Deal or No Deal, business cases have metal resurgence in the business world. Sales of hard-sided, the aluminum business cases have been increasing. and rightly so.
There is something wonderfully solid on these cases. Moreover, they are unquestionably distinctive and almost indestructible. Zero Haliburton is the U.S. manufacturer's original business case for metal, while others preferred brands include Rimowa and TZ Case luggage Irv .
The benefits of business cases are made of metal they are remarkable strong and durable and extremely lightweight. Most are made of aluminum, although recent additions to the line are hard-sided polycarbonate. Although such cases are virtually indestructible, more importantly, they also provide wonderful protection for the contents of the case (think laptop, PDA, Blackberry).
Zero Haliburton case had "tempered aluminum shell has the hot strength of steel at only one quarter the weight." The style is simple but professional. business cases, metals have all the improvements of their cousins in leather bags for cell phones or PDAs, file organizers, business card pockets, padding and straps for laptops. The disadvantage is that they do not develop.
Prices range from $ 139 for cases of TZ for premium brands, and Rimowa Zero Halliburton $ 295 - $ 725. Colors include silver, bronze, blue ice, icy blue and black. My favorite is the zero Haliburton 4 "Computer Attache Gunmetal Irv's Luggage. He screams style and I like the color better than money. Maybe I'll trade in a husband.
