Is Space Case 1 the world's most hi-tech suitcase?

Welcome Space Case 1.

Available as a carry on bag (21.5in x13.5in x7.5in; weighing 3.6kg) and checked bag (29in x 21in x 11 in; weighing by 4.9kg), Space Case 1 complies with the new cabin baggage size proposed by the IATA earlier this month, as well as the cabin baggage restrictions for most airlines, including Ryanair, easyJet, Jet2, Monarch, British Airways and Virgin Atlantic.

Alongside the in-built digital scale, which removes the need to lift the suitcase, other advanced features include a Bluetooth-enabled dual microphone, and "high quality" speaker, allowing the user to make phone calls and play music from the suitcase hands-free. It also has an anti-theft proximity sensor monitored via an app, available for iPhone and Android, which activates an alarm sound when the app moves more than 40 feet from the suitcase.

The system also sends a text to the user's phone when the case has arrived on the baggage carousel.

To provide further security, the bag also features biometric fingerprint locking for up to five travellers, approved by the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Travel Sentry, a global standard for travel security, and a free worldwide GPS tracking system.
