Tech Toolcase XL

I used to carry a lot of tech crap. I pared it down but still struggled. Eventually, I bought the Toolcase XL and had enough space, but still … something wasn't right. After I saw that a teammate was doing his entire week of travel out of a Minaal Daily Bag I decided I would too. That meant going back to the original toolcase.

I had to embrace the philosophy of minimalism that this tool case, and the entire system encompasses. I asked myself, "What do I really need for the week?" Then I arrived at my system, and have been happier ever since. Here's what I carry in my Toolcase:

+ BatPower MacBook Pro Charger (makes it easier to plug into a crowded power strip and includes a couple of USB-C ports)
+ Amazon Fire TV Stick (works well on hotel Wi-Fi, provides privacy against logins, and prevents logging in every week to someone else's system)
+ USB-C to USB-A adaptors (they’re tiny)
+ Multi-type charging cable (for Lightning, USB-C, and micro USB)
+ Another lightning cable
+ Apple Watch charger
+ Remote PowerPoint pointer/clicker
+ Spare AAA batteries

Cool Design!

I ordered the regular Tech Toolcase when stocks were replenished but after ordering, I received an email that they’ve run out of it but were willing to send me the XL without any extra cost. That’s great service in my opinion.

Love the XL and how well it keeps all my s**t tidy and compact. This is a must for any tech nomad or travellers with a lot of gadgets, charging cables and other knick knacks.

My mom wanted a pouch for her electronics that would fit power bricks and this one does the job great!

Good size, sturdy construction.

I bought this case to go inside my Minaal Carry-on 3.0. I usually carry two laptops, an iPad, iPhone and AirPods, along with their chargers and cables, and an Anker Powerbank. These all fit perfectly in the case, and the ability to move the dividers enables one to customise the pouch perfectly. A great product!

Nice haptic, flawless stitching and very useful details! This little helper is fun to use and stay a little more organized :)

Well made and designed. Very sturdy

Heading to Aruba soon so I'll test it out a bit more but 10/10 right now - Cheers

Tech Toolcase

Fits all my tech stuff (chargers, usb-c dongles, backup hd, 2fa tokens, hdmi/chromecast, screenwipes, etc). Fits perfectly and works well with packing cubes, shirt protector, and a dopp + passport holder.

Why do I love and use these products? They are FUN! Clever and innovative design. Great workmanship and materials. Be sure to watch videos to be sure you are aware of ALL the cool features. Review from time to time since new needs arise depending on travel circumstances AND you will likely be surprised how Minaal’s clever design will probably accommodate those new uses. This product can be easily interchanged and used to suit the particular travel configuration I’ve adopted for that trip.

I bought the XL when I thought I couldn't get by with the regular Toolcase. I was wrong. I've gone back because the XL is a little too big. It's really a perfect thing, but it takes up more space in the Daily than I wanted when packing for an entire week. If you are using a larger bag, or "never leave a dongle behind," then this might be the case for you.

Haven't used the XL as much as the original toolcase, mainly because the XL doesn't fit as neatly in the interior pockets and is quite bulky in the Daily. I have not yet tried consolidating two original toolcases into one XL for overseas trips, but it would likely work quite well as one bag for headphones, chargers, cables, and my external hard drive.

Obviously convenient. Clearly useful. But I've found packing up the toolcase the same way every day is a great way to make sure I don't leave behind a charger or cable. The moveable dividers inside are really helpful - I removed one and just have two "compartments". I also have used a second toolcase for my over-ear headphones (Bose bluetooth) that fold down flat and fit nicely along with their charger and an old cable so I can use them on flights.

I was able to get this after using the original Toolcase and was impressed by how much more I was able to carry all by still being able to keep the footprint minimal for all I was carrying. I switch between both depending on what I need to carry more. When my carry is more tech inclined, I used the XL otherwise I use the traditional smaller one.

I was surprised by what I was able to carry with this bag. I was able to carry my universal outlet converter, camera charger, cables, USB to USB-C, converter and earphones along with memory cards and a couple of batteries and a SIM tray ejector tool among a couple of other smaller knickknacks.

Great to keep all of my charging cords and speaker in one place and not tangled! I put it in the bigger top pocket in my 2.0 and it fits perfectly and easy to get to on the plane/train

Right now I’m using the XL case for edc items and love it! The feel of having an awesomely built travel accessory is ...well....Awesome! I don’t travel much but when I do I’m proud to use the 2.0 pack. I use the Daily, daily!

What was it that Archimedes said? Give me charging cables, and a good way to organize them, and I can move the world? Something like that. I like organization, especially when I'm traveling a lot. It's helpful to have one dedicated place to put all your electronic gear, and the toolcase is perfect for that. I like especially like that I can move the compartments around to fit my laptop charger, earbud cases, and various dongles. The compact shape of the organizer is perfect- because it zips up nicely in a cube, it's very easy to throw into the Carryon or Daily or a roller bag. It's like a special padded packing cube (also get some Minaal packing cubes - they're the truth).

The only rough thing is that this case only comes in black. The color blends in a little too well with an airplane seat, making it verrrry easy to overlook and leave behind when you're coming off a long flight. I learned this the hard way! I love Minaal's minimalistic style and coloring, but this is the one piece I wish had a little more flash (maybe even just a Minaal blue stripe somewhere), so it's easier to spot, whether in your bag or on an airplane seat.
