Credit Case Surprise
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
The Credit Case Surprise was a custom weapon produced by Synnt-ovations, Incorporated. Disguised as a briefcase filled with credits, the device was mainly employed by wealthy businesspeople. When attackers would attempt to steal from the individual, the Credit Case Surprise could be activated, causing a large flash of light which would temporarily blind the attacker, giving the owner a chance to escape.
