We all know how stressful traveling can be when you don’t have the right traveling gear! When you’re on the go the last thing you want to think about is your luggage. Crumpler, a company based out of Australia, has great quality pieces that would make any trip a breeze.

One of our favorites is the “Dry Red No 11 “ wheeled luggage that maneuvers easily with four wheels that have 360 degree capability. You can wheel around this baby in a variety of ways without worry of tipping or breaking the luggage. Not only are the wheels a great quality, there is also ample storage space with six storage zones. This smartly made luggage will be your best friend throughout your various trips.

Just going on a quick business day trip? Crumpler’s “Boston Heist” carry-on sized travel bag is great for your essentials! The bag has four compartments and a padded sleeve for laptops up to 17”. This bag will get you where you need to go while keeping all your personal and business items handy and secure.

Crumpler’s “Captains Till No 4” small pouch is another must have for any traveler. This handy zippered pouch is a great way to carry all your vital documents such as your itinerary, passport, ticket, boarding passes and more. It’s vital to have everything secure and in one spot to eliminate misplacing these important items. The last thing you want to find out on a business trip is you lost your passport!

The headache reducing travel app: HotelPal

One of my first business trips to the East Coast was definitely not one of favorites. I flew to Atlanta for a conference and the trip went well until I got to the airport to return home. Apparently there had been thunderstorms all day (I had been inside a convention center all day, it was July and I had no clue this could even happen) so all flights were delayed or canceled. My original flight was at 6 PM and right about 11 PM I gave up on trying to get home that night. I quickly googled the nearest Hyatt after buying wifi on my laptop and made a reservation for the night. Since I’m not from Atlanta and didn’t have time to do research, I made the mistake of booking a hotel that turned out to be 25 miles away and the cab fair wasn’t pretty. I had no idea that I would be stuck at this Hyatt for 2 days and no idea that this Hyatt was poorly serviced, in a not so great area and that airport shuttles had no routes too.

Let your iPhone Recline

Let your iPhone kick back and take a load off…

Sayeh, The Office Stylist’s Review:

I happen to use Skype/Facetime video chat quite frequently and find it pretty annoying to hold the phone constantly. You can imagine how happy I was to come across the Recline, an iPhone 4 case that not only protects your phone but doubles as a stand too. Whether you love to video chat or watch videos on your iPhone 4, the Recline makes it easy to do. One thing I really like about the case is that I really don’t need to take it off. I’ve bought iPhone cases that I have to remove if I want to charge it or put headphones in.

In a nutshell, the Recline is an iPhone 4 Protective Case with dual orientation flip out kickstand that any frequent iPhone user needs.

Some neat features:

Ultra protective soft-touch matte finish case
Flip out kickstand with dual orientation:
Horizontal: Optimal for movie, photos, games, etc.
Vertical: Optimal for video calling
Plush internal lining pampers and protects
Easy access to all external buttons, controls, inputs / outputs
