Let the other guys fight over the outlet. With a Marlon smart carry-on suitcase you'll have your own battery anywhere you go.

And because the battery can be removed, its TSA and airline approved.

The Marlon incorporates a removable battery and two USB ports into its streamlined case, offering travelers the ability to charge two devices at once. The battery is a 10400mAh and conforms to airline standards, being easily removed with no internal wires that can ring alarm bells when going through customs.

French for 'little falcon', the Marlon carry on bag was created in London by a team of avid travelers and includes all-terrain wheels, USB charging and patented compression technology that complies with almost every set of carry-on luggage rules.

The Marlon is expanded during packing, and once all of your essential items are hastily stuffed inside, the Marlon compresses down to carry-on size. Where other carry-on solutions will have you sitting or kneeling on your bag trying to pull zippers closed (and probably breaking them), the Marlon uses a proprietary gradient lever system and banded grip mechanism to pack your luggage down.

The Marlon weighs under 7 pounds and is priced at $209.
