Travelling for business means no hassle. Your laptop has to be within reach, your phone has to keep going and your suitcase has to look professional, even after a hundred flights. In this guide you will read what a good business suitcase needs to offer, and why we choose the Amice Original Front Pocket in 2026.
What does a business traveller need?
- A place for your laptop. You want to grab it quickly and store it safely, without opening your whole suitcase.
- A phone that does not run out. Between airport, train and meeting, a power socket is rarely close by.
- A suitcase that can take a knock. You travel often, so wear counts double.
- The right look. Calm, refined and without conspicuous logos.
- Certainty. A guarantee that lasts longer than your next job.
The Original Front Pocket
The Original Front Pocket is made for those who have to work on the move. It is made of 100% aluminium and has everything a business traveller needs.
- Front compartment for a 15-inch laptop. Your laptop sits at the front and is easy to reach, at the gate, on the train or in the lounge.
- USB(C) charging port on the case. Connect your own power bank and charge your phone on the move, without having to open your suitcase.
- Aluminium shell. Strong, sleek and with a character that gets better over the years.
- Lifetime guarantee. On manufacturing defects, defective locks and structural damage from normal use.
- TSA combination lock. For inspection without damaging your lock.
The dimensions are 53 x 39.5 x 23.5 cm and the weight is 4.8 kg. Available in Silver and Black.
Charging on the move: you need a power bank
The charging port works together with a power bank. You need to bring your own to use the port. Always carry your power bank in your cabin luggage when you fly. Power banks are not allowed in checked luggage with almost all airlines, so check your airline's rules before you leave.
An important point for cabin luggage
The Front Pocket is slightly deeper than our regular Carry-on. Always check your airline's current cabin dimensions before you book. For some airlines, such as Lufthansa and Eurowings, this version is not intended as cabin luggage. If you often fly with them, choose the Original Carry-on. The same suitcase without the front compartment, with a slimmer depth of 21 cm.
Why an aluminium suitcase is a smart business choice
A plastic suitcase often feels cheap after a year of business travel. Aluminium keeps its look. Scratches and dents belong to the material. They tell you where you have been and are not covered by the guarantee. A suitcase you still use years later with a lifetime guarantee costs you less over time than a suitcase you keep replacing.
