An apparatus, a system and a method connects bags around a traveler to allow the traveler to move while carrying the bags. A first bag rests upon a shoulder of the traveler and connects to a third bag near the waist of the traveler by a strap. A second bag extends across the back of the traveler. The first bag connects to the second bag which connects to the third bag by a connector. The traveler lifts the third bag toward the first bag to extend and connect a strap between the first bag and the third bag. The three bags surround the traveler to allow the traveler to have both hands unencumbered.

A mobile phone case. A charging cable or an audio cable, or a combination thereof, can be stored within the mobile phone case and deployed outward as desired. Alternatively, the cable can provide the added utility of mounting, hanging, and tying capabilities for attachment of the mobile phone case onto certain physical objects or the human body. Furthermore, the mobile phone case may provide multiple anchor points to create a rigging system with the cable that forms various suspension configurations for a desired location.

A luggage system includes a first piece of luggage, a second piece of luggage, a first attachment member positioned on the first piece of luggage, and a second attachment member positioned on the second piece of luggage and adapted to couple to the first attachment member to secure the first and second pieces of luggage together, wherein the first and second attachment members are in a movable arrangement when coupled such that the first and second pieces of luggage move relative each other.

The present invention discloses an anti-gravity backpack, which comprises a backpack body and two shoulder straps. A supporting plate is provided on a back of the backpack body, and a pressure reducing plate is provided on a back of the supporting plate. A first elastic band and a length fixing band are provided between the pressure reducing plate and the supporting plate. The existence of the pressure reducing plate, the first elastic band and the length fixing band causes the backpack to bounce up and down to act as a buffer, which not only relieves the pressure on the wearer's shoulders but also saves the wearer's energy with the resilience produced by the elastic band, thus helping slow down the wearer's rate of muscle fatigue and make the wearer feel less burden on the body.
