The riemot luggage cup holder attaches to your suitcase handle, and that’s really the whole idea. Your drink sits in front of you. So do your passport and your boarding pass. Your hands stay free, and you’re not juggling all of it on the way to the gate.

Two cups, one pocket, one strap

It’s a folding caddy in oxford cloth. The luggage cup holder wraps around the pull-out handle of a roll-on, including hard-shells like our Vipbox suitcase, and fastens with an adjustable hook-and-loop strap. riemot says it fits most roll-on handles, and how snug it sits is the one thing owners disagree about, which is further down. Two open holders on the front take a coffee or a bottle. A pocket on the back takes your phone, your boarding pass or your passport. It folds flat and weighs almost nothing. riemot makes it in several colours and patterns, including a leopard print, so check which one the listing is showing you before you order.

Three things, two hands

You’d like a coffee, and you’d rather not spend the next two hours carrying that, your documents and your bag all at once. Put the drink in the holder and your passport in the back pocket and you stop thinking about any of it. You know where everything is, it’s an arm’s length away, and you’re not hunting through pockets when they call your row.

What keeps coming up

Owners talk about the back pocket more than the cups. It’s the thing mentioned most, and plenty of people describe reaching for it at security rather than for coffee. Phone, boarding pass and passport all sit together, and both hands stay on the bag.

Hands come up almost as often. Freeing them up in a busy terminal comes back over and over, usually from someone hauling a bag a long way to a gate. A few mention it drops into a side pocket of the suitcase once they’re done with it, so it isn’t one more thing to carry.

The one real complaint is how snug it sits, and it comes down to your handle. Several buyers found it too wide for theirs and it slid around. One had it let go stepping off a train and lost a water bottle. Others say the fasteners are strong. It’s also not a thing to run through a terminal with. Angle it properly, don’t overfill it, and it holds.
