Day 5 of 10 Ideas a Day: 10 Ideas for new innovations or improvements to luggage

Rounding out the first week of 10 Ideas a Day: 10 ideas for innovations in luggage or improvements. Remember the days before luggage had wheels? What other innovations does luggage need now. Remember, I look forward to reading your ideas too so post them to the comments below. Thanks.

1. Make the lid removable or replaceable with different sizes – so your luggage can really expand if you are checking it.
2. Add realistically sized shoe bags
3. Vacuum sealable to suck out air and make everything fit better
4. Add an RFID transmitter so you can have an app that identifies your luggage
5. Extra wheels in the middle so it rolls over cracks easier
6. Built in but removable packing cubes
7. A steamer option so you can remove wrinkles right in the suitcase
8. Hardsided case that opens like a softside – not split in the middle but more like a deep well with a lid
9. Longer handles for tall people
10. Better balance so they don’t tip over when full
