Picture yourself in a crowded airport terminal. You’re lugging your luggage in one hand and holding a cup of coffee in the other. You’ve only got a few minutes before they begin boarding your flight. So, you make your way towards the gate, walking as briskly as one can with a rolling suitcase in tow.
Then you realize something. You forgot the gate number! “No big deal,” you think to yourself. All you’ve got to do is check the digital boarding pass on your phone. To do that though you’ll need to free up one of your already very busy hands. Your options include pulling over to the side of the corridor to let go of your suitcase or finding a place to put down your coffee cup. Either way you’re wasting precious time.
Anyone who’s ever flown knows that when you’re trying to catch a plane, every second counts. It might sound a bit overdramatic, sure, but that can be the difference between making it onboard your flight or having to wait hours for the next one.
Enter the Freehand Travel Drink-Caddy. As the world’s first and only self-leveling cup holder that attaches to your luggage, Freehand puts an end to having to juggle your bag, phone, and that oh-so-important cup of coffee. Unless you’ve got three hands, Freehand is bound to come in handy next time you travel.
Attaching Freehand to your luggage is easy. Simply tighten the two rubber straps around the extended handles of a rolling suitcase and you’re ready to go. If you’re worried about your drink spilling the second you start to pull your suitcase, don’t be. Freehand’s innovative self-leveling design makes it so that your drink stays upright while you’re on the move. Built with travelers in mind, Freehand is lightweight and can be folded for convenient storage when not in use.
It’s also worth mentioning that there are two versions of Freehand available: one for cups and bottles and another for only cups. Although the model that holds both cups and bottles costs a few dollars extra, it’s worth the nominal investment. Buyers who have purchased the cup-only model have expressed concerns about its utility since it does not feature an extra part on the bottom that holds drinks more securely.
