BoomCase is a company specializing in portable speakers and speaker wall installations.[1][2] Their products are crafted from vintage suitcases and speakers.[3][4][5] The company’s name, “BoomCase”, is a portmanteau of "boombox" and "suitcase”.
The primary offerings from BoomCase are vintage suitcases that have been transformed into portable speaker systems. In addition to these portable systems, BoomCase also designs and installs custom speaker walls.[6]
BoomCase products are sold through their online store, and have also been carried by retailers such as Urban Outfitters,[7] Paul Smith, Conran Shop, and Le Bon Marché.[8]
BoomCase is currently based in Sacramento, California.[2][4][9]
Company history[edit]
BoomCase was established by Dominic Odbert in San Francisco, California, in 2009. Faced with a market devoid of fresh boomboxes, Odbert took matters into his own hands, crafting his own portable sound system from a vintage suitcase, a rechargeable battery, and an integrated amplifier-speaker setup.
In August 2010, Odbert showcased a new BoomCase on his personal website and Etsy store, which quickly gained attention after being featured on ChipChick.com.[10] The post was subsequently reblogged by Engadget.com,[11] leading to the BoomCase going viral in the online community. BoomCase has since been highlighted on numerous tech websites and in various publications, including the New York Times,[12] Playboy, GQ,[13] and even a first-page feature in Rolling Stone's 2010 Gift Guide.[14][15][16][17][8]. BoomCase has also been praised for it sustainable and vintage design in several published books including Art Without Waste: 500 Upcycled and Earth-Friendly Designs,[18] Made to Last: A Compendium of Artisans, Trades & Projects [19][20] and Retro & Vintage Design.[21][22]
In 2011, Urban Outfitters started to carry BoomCases in their online store and eventually moved them into their physical stores across the United States.[7]
In 2013, BoomCase was featured in an episode of Bath Crashers on the DIY Network.[23]
In 2014, BoomCase collaborated with Air Jordan (Nike) for All Star Weekend 2014 in New Orleans.[24]
In 2015, Fool's Gold Records and BoomCase created a limited edition BoomCase built into a diesel can.[25]
In 2017, Hendrick's Gin and BoomCase collaborated on a limited edition BoomCase that opened up and held a bottle of Gin and tea serving set. It used real Harris tweed for its outside fabric.[26][27][28]
In 2018, BoomCase and E&J Brandy collaborated on limited edition BoomCases that were made in miniature wine barrels. The barrels were made as part of a promotions and a giveaway contest for the 2018 holidays.[29]
