July Carry On review

July's Carry On is a compact hard shell built around travel tech. The case is German polycarbonate with anodized aluminum bumpers, and the exterior measures 21.5 x 15 x 8.5 inches with wheels, for 115 cm in total, which July says fits international carry-on standards. It weighs 7.4 lbs and holds 42 L. The headline feature is an ejectable battery with USB-C that July says is approved for flying on all major airlines, and you can add CaseSafe, a tracker built into the TSA lock that works with Apple Find My and Google Find Hub. Rolling is handled by July's SilentMove 360 degree wheels, which have a lifetime guarantee, and the handle stops at 20 heights. Inside are a Y-Strap compression system, a hidden laundry bag and water-resistant nylon lining. The list price is $295, and it was $236 in a sitewide sale when we checked. The 15 in. width can be a problem on airlines that enforce 14 in.
