BoomCase is a company specializing in portable speakers and speaker wall installations. [1] [2] Based in Sacramento, California, [2] [3] [4] their products are manufactured from vintage suitcases and speakers. [5] [3] [6] The company’s name is a portmanteau of ' boombox' and 'suitcase', and its products are sold online and carried by retailers. [7]
BoomCase was established by Dominic Odbert in San Francisco, California, in 2009. Odbert crafted his own portable sound system from a vintage suitcase, a rechargeable battery, and an integrated amplifier-speaker setup. [3] [4]
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. [8] The post was subsequently reblogged by Engadget.com, [9] 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, [10] Playboy, GQ, [11] and a first-page feature in Rolling Stone's 2010 Gift Guide. [12] [13] [14] [15] [7]
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, [16] Made to Last: A Compendium of Artisans, Trades & Projects [17] [18] and Retro & Vintage Design. [19] [20]
In 2011, Urban Outfitters started to carry BoomCases in their online store and eventually moved them into their physical stores across the United States. [21]
In 2013, BoomCase was featured in an episode of Bath Crashers on the DIY Network. [22]
In 2013 Brazilian DJs Felguk used a BoomCase for the promotional material of their first official EP Slice & Dice. [23] [15]
In 2014, Eric Roberson featured a BoomCase on the cover of his album "The Box" and included multiple BoomCases in his promotional material for the album's release and tour. [24] [25] [26]
In 2014, BoomCase collaborated with Air Jordan (Nike) for All Star Weekend 2014 in New Orleans. [27]
In 2015, Fool's Gold Records and BoomCase created a limited edition BoomCase built into a diesel can. [28] [29]
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. [30] [31] [32]
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. [33]
