Upgrading from Milk Crates: An Aluminum 12" LP Carrier for Traveling DJs
The Travel Heavy
While milk crates are good enough for ferrying records to local gigs, these Travel Heavy cases are aimed at the professional traveling DJ. The London-based manufacturer, also called Travel Heavy, says they qualify as hand luggage "on most airlines."
The aluminum cases are lined with foam and can carry 45 12" LPs, "with room for your headphones," the company claims, (though they don't mention nor show where the headphones go, or if you can carry more records if you forego the headphones).
The QR codes atop each case are unique and linked to your name through your purchase. The idea is that if you lose the case, and a good Samaritan scans the code, s/he is presumably placed in contact with the manufacturer, who can notify you.
Note that the shiny case in the photos is a prototype version; the production version is the one with the matte finish.
These run $267 a pop.

Oops, bumped my phone & reported myself as spam😂😂😂
Would be neat if the lid was a little deeper and the headphones stored in there. I would be interested to see how they fit currently.
V1.2 Many manufacturers are having to decide between durability or weight with a thinner or softer grade aluminum. I've used Zero Halliburtons for decades but my 20 year old suitcase looks better than my 5 year old replacement. If you look at Rimowa's, they are great when purchased but look like crushed origami in short order. These cases are not cheap.
Many luggage manufacturers are having to balance durability with weight. I've owned Zero Halliburtons for decades & they seemed to have sacrificed durability with either thinner or softer spec. aluminum. My 20 year old looks better than my 5 year old one. If you look at Rimowa's, they look great at purchase but they're like crushed origami very quickly. All these are not cheap.
