MIAMI, May 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Born from
30 years of experience in the luggage industry, the team at Planet
Traveler is introducing the true next generation of luggage.
Designed to specifically balance technology, style, and function,
the Space Case 1 luggage line is engineered to be the ultimate
travel companion.
Planet Traveler is launching the Space Case 1
on Kickstarter June 1st to fund the first orders.
The campaign will offer both carry-on and check-in sized cases in a
variety of exterior colors and textures.
Early crowdfunding supporters can take advantage of
significant discounts off the retail prices starting at
$199.
"Consumers are reacting positively to an emerging trend of
building luggage around tech," said Planet Traveler CEO
Harry Sheikh. "We have actually been working on the Space Case
1 for over four years, and believe we have finally perfected the
integration of tech into our beautifully designed luggage. We
didn't set out to just design a smart suitcase. Our goal was to be
the first to offer a full line of attractive smart luggage."
To begin, the Space Case 1 offers a variety of sizes, exterior
colors, exclusive designs, and unique virtually indestructible
textures, just as you might find with a premium suitcase. However,
upon closer inspection you will find these cases have a surprising
array of more technological functionality than any other luggage
currently offered, making Space Case 1 the undeniable leader in
consolidated smart travel technology. Here is a summary of the tech
conveniences:
- Smartphone app control (IOS, Android) of all
functionality. Smartwatch interface.
- Biometric fingerprint locking for up to 5 travelers. State of
the art security.
- Free worldwide GPS Tracking.
- Digital scale integrated into the wheels. No lifting
necessary.
- Bluetooth speaker and microphone – Play music. Make
hands-free calls.
- Anti-theft proximity security. When the app moves
beyond 40 feet from your case the phone is notified, and an alarm
can sound through the case speaker.
- Triple USB 12 Amp charging ports (Dual external,
third internal in carry-on laptop compartment only).
- Personal Concierge – On demand information for departure and
arrival times & gates, book flights, hotels, car rentals and
more.
- 10 Year Warranty with 24 hour repair worldwide.
The Space Case 1 line of smart luggage is currently comprised of
both a carry-on (19.5"/49.5cm) and check-in sized (29"/73.6cm)
suitcase. More sizes and profiles are being introduced
periodically, and will offer a complete suite of luggage utility in
2015.
