If Silicon Valley Designed the Travel Suitcase

Jam-packed with features and tech, the Plevo makes the perfect case for the fast-paced life of a person from the Silicon Valley. It doesn’t pull any stops, and like most valley based companies and people, tries to multi-task to the max and be the best at everything it does.

The hard-shell suitcase comes in three sizes (as well as an expandable design), from a smaller, cabin friendly variant to a large-sized suitcase you could practically live your life out of, but that’s just the beginning. Open the suitcase and it features a one-of-a-kind garment hanging rack that slides outwards with built-in hangers that you can use to suspend your clothes. When kept standing vertical, your clothes and expensive suits remain perfectly straight, never being crushed by the rest of your luggage. On the back, the Plevo has a secondary flap that houses a special sleeve for your laptop and electronics. Separating it from the rest of the bulk, it allows you to carry all your stuff together and separate them easily at the time of scanning or checking in. To further aid your need for using electronics, the Plevo comes with a detachable power-bank that docks inside the suitcase’s top (right beside the pull-out handle), allowing you to charge your phone or tablet on the go via both USB and USB Type-C, not just allowing you to have a replenished battery for work and entertainment purposes, but also so that you can connect to your suitcase via its own app, using it to track the whereabouts of your luggage and even to sync it to your fingerprint or face scanner, allowing it to unlock via your phone and your own biometrics.

Aside from the biometric lock and the TSA lock, the Plevo also showcases another world’s first with their Morse Lock that lets you unlock the bag using a morse-code-inspired system where you tap on the unlock button in a distinct pattern to let the bag know it’s you (reminiscent of the secret door-knocking pattern you’d use as a kid in your secret clubs). The Morse Pattern, unique to you, lets you set a third layer of security to the Plevo, just in case your phone runs out of battery, or you happen to misplace the key to the suitcase.

Built from the top to bottom with features that not just make it an incredibly capable suitcase but a long-lasting and reliable one too, the Plevo comes with detachable wheels as well, allowing you to protect the parts that are the most susceptible to wear-and-tear. With an in-built scale that also tells you how much your luggage weighs, the Plevo doesn’t just make traveling easier like other suitcases do. It makes traveling smarter, safer, cheaper (by letting you know when you overpack, helping you avoid overweight costs), and aids the packing and unpacking process too, thanks to the garment hanging attachment. With such a massive feature-list, it’s difficult to even find a worthy competitor for the Plevo. Oh, did I also mention, it also comes with a lifetime warranty??

Samsung and Samsonite are working on smart luggage

Samsonite 01

We live in the age of the Internet of Things, and even luggage are getting spectacular innovations that change everything we once knew.

Tech giants Samsung and Samsonite are working in a smart luggage, connected wirelessly and with a GPS, because, who wouldn’t like to know where their lost luggage is at?

These luggage can do a bunch of useful, neat tricks, such as display its location in case it was lost as it could happen in airports. Also, it has a system in which, in case it loses synchronization or can’t detect it nearby anymore, it will let you know as to prevent it from being stolen. Also, it will let us know if it has been opened at all ever since we started the trip.

Amongst other upcoming ideas, Samsung and Samsonite are working along with air companies such as Emirates, Lufthansa and KLM Air France to create convenient functionalities for these sets, like having a scale to measure its own weight, or check itself in automatically once it goes through an airport’s security gates, so users can just drop them in the front desk. Even crazier, these companies are toying with the idea of having these luggage follow the users around the airport autonomously, which would be particularly helpful for users with reduced mobility or in wheelchairs. These ideas won’t be present in the first prototype, but the future is coming, and we’ll be here to speak about it once it happens.

Bluesmart Is The First Connected Smart Luggage

bluesmart-1

If you consider yourself a modern day traveller, you’re really going to want to take a look at Bluesmart. It’s the “world’s first” connected smart luggage, and it actually packs a host of features that have us salivating here at OhGizmo HQ. Check this out:

- TSA-approved lock that can be toggled via the application.
– A proximity sensor will send you a notification if it senses you’re leaving your bag behind.
– A built-in scale in the handle tells you your bag’s weight.
– Location tracking in case of loss (although this is based on the potential proximity of other Bluesmart travellers within range).
– Built-in battery to recharge your electronics (a typical phone up to 6 times over).
– Easy-access front flap to reach your electronic devices within.
– Trip data tracking.

It’s a good looking piece of luggage to boot. The cherry on the icing is that the company isn’t asking for an outrageous sum; the Indiegogo Early Adopter pricing is set at $215 for the moment, and will go up to $235 once that’s over. Delivery is far away, however, with August 2015 slated as the target.
