You are holding a coffee, a phone, a boarding pass, and the handle of a roll-on, and you have two hands. That is the exact problem the riemot luggage cup holder solves. It straps onto your suitcase handle and gives your drink and your documents somewhere to sit while you walk. It works on any two-bar roll-on, including hard-shells like our Vipbox suitcase. It is small and cheap, but it earns its spot in a carry-on. Here is what it does well and where it comes up short.
What it is, in plain terms
A folding caddy made of oxford cloth that wraps around the pull-out handle of a roll-on suitcase and fastens with an adjustable velcro strap. It has three pockets: two open holders on the front for cups or bottles, and one pocket at the back for a phone, boarding pass, or passport. It folds flat, weighs almost nothing, is machine washable. On top of that, riemot offers it in a range of colours and patterns.
Why it works for travel
Airports are where you run out of hands. With the caddy on your handle you can carry two drinks, keep your phone and documents within reach at security, and still steer your bag. When it is time to board, you pull it off, fold it, and drop it in a pocket. For a family or anyone traveling with kids, having a place to park a drink instead of holding it the whole way to the gate is worth more than the few dollars it costs.
What we like
- Holds two drinks plus a pocket for your phone and passport.
- Folds flat and weighs next to nothing in your bag.
- Adjustable velcro fits most telescoping suitcase handles.
- Oxford cloth wipes clean and is machine washable.
- Cheap enough to be an easy yes.
Worth knowing
- Needs a two-bar telescoping handle. It will not sit right on a single-post handle.
- The holders are open and uninsulated, so a full hot coffee can slosh over a bump.
- The velcro can loosen over time and want a firm re-press.
- It is a convenience, not a necessity. Light packers may skip it.
Who it’s for
Get it if you are the traveler who always has a coffee in hand and juggles a phone and boarding pass through the terminal, or a parent with too much to carry. If your bag has a single-post handle, or you rarely carry a drink through the airport, this one is easy to pass on.
Our take
A few dollars for a free hand through the airport. It will not change your trip, but it removes one small annoyance every single time you fly.
