Lifting a suitcase into an overhead compartment is a nightmare without carry handles. At Case Star, we understand the frustration and inconvenience this can cause. If your carry handle becomes damaged or worn out, try our carry handle spare parts. Our collection offers a variety of options designed to enhance your travel experience. They are robust, reliable, ergonomically designed for maximum comfort, and also durable.

Types of Carry Handles

A suitcase can support up to three handles at once, two on top of the suitcase and one on the side.

  • Top handles, as the name suggests, are positioned on the top of the luggage. They are a must-have and perfect when you need to hoist your suitcase into a trunk. These handles are designed with ergonomic features in mind for effortless lifting.
  • Side handles are handles you'll find on the side of your luggage. These handles offer additional carrying options and improved control, especially for heavier suitcases. They are perfect for situations where a top handle might be less practical. These include when sliding luggage into a narrow storage area and many more.
  • Retractable handles are ideal for those craving space-saving features on their handles. These handles can be folded away when not in use, saving space and making it easier to store. They offer a sleek and convenient solution for smooth and effortless transport.

Along with type, materials are also an important note to consider. Our collection comes in many different materials, including leather, nylon, and rubber. Each offers a significant advantage over the other.

Leather is durable and has that luxurious feel to it. It provides a comfortable grip and adds a touch of sophistication to your luggage. Nylon is known for its strength and light when carried. With rubber, you will get superior comfort and grip as well as durability. They are particularly useful for heavy luggage and are popular among frequent travellers.

How to Choose the Right Carry Handle

Three key factors affect how you select a carry handle. First is your luggage type, your specific carrying needs, and your preferences.

  • Different luggage type support a different set of carry handles. Some suitcase support both top and side handles, while other can only support one.
  • Carrying needs also plays a role. If space is at a premium, retractable handles are ideal. If you frequently navigate crowded spaces, side handles offer greater control.
  • With materials, leather may offer a premium feel. However, if you prioritise durability and low maintenance, nylon or rubber might be better options.

DIY Installation for Carry Handles

Replacing a worn-out handle is easier than you think! The typical process involves:

  1. Prepare your main tool: a Phillips screwdriver.
  2. Lay your suitcase flat and open the maintenance zipper on the carry handles side.
  3. Locate the handle mount and unscrew it. It's usually secured with 2-4 screws depending on the model.
  4. Gently remove the old handle and replace it with the new one.
  5. Screw it snugly, and you are done!
  6. Don't forget to do a little test run to ensure functionality.

Maintenance and Care Tips

Installing is easy, but that's not all there is to maintaining it. Regular and proper maintenance is crucial to keep them looking and feeling good. There are some maintenance tips you can follow based on the material of your carry handle.

With leather, you want to clean your handle regularly with a damp cloth to prevent drying and cracking. The same goes for nylon and rubber. Avoid harsh chemicals and try to opt for mild soap as a cleaning solution. Remember to allow the handle to air dry completely.
