Hi,

I never really liked to preorder from companies that I did not know or trust, but when I saw online that the price was going to increase I just had to get it.

It arrived a day before my flight, luckily. My first impressions were that this suitcase both looks and feels amazing, with its features, and design.

Now on the side of connectivity this suitcase is said to offer it all, but unfortunately the app seems like it is still in a beta mode, because of its lack of consistency when using this features. Now despite I still fully recommend getting this suitcase boasts the key feature, locking and unlocking always works, and I have been in contact with Bluesmart and they have been very helpful, and reasured that with future updates there will be performance upgrades, bugs will be ironed out, and new features will be added. My thoughts are that because it is such a small team working on the suitcase, ~10, the updates will come out steadily, and will only improve the whole user experience.

Now I have seen countless people whining about the size of the suitcase, and it's configuration, if you pack it right you can get enough for a couple of weeks use. You have to be smart, you put your electronics in the front along with chargers, and travel documents, on the inside pocket you can fit a couple of shirts, and a few t-shirts', now inside of the main compartment you have ample space for some shorts, trousers, and any other holiday making equipment, but admittedly bringing a spare pair of shoes will eat up a significant amount of space.

In terms of using this in a real world environment I will tell you my experience of using it to travel to the small island of Koh Samui in Thailand. Just before I left I decided to leave to get on the taxi I checked my weight, on the app, of the suitcase, and noticed that I was 3KG over weight. Realizing this might have just saved me a huge surcharge from the airline. I got the taxi to Heathrow, checked in my luggage to go into the hold. And took my BlueSmart to security, I whipped out my iPad, and Mac quickly, and went through security seamlessly, chuckling at the regular travelers unzipping there suitcases, and repacking them to get there electronics back in place. I proceeded to get lunch, but soon noticed that my mobile was running low on juice, bam! I got my charger out of my bag, plugged it into my suitcase and there I was charging my mobile from my bag. I soon discovered that my wireless hard drive was low on battery, and them I just plugged it into the internal USB charging point, not even requiring me to take it out of my bag. Got on the plane, bag fitted, all went well. Landed At Bangkok airport, went to the transfer desk, further charged my mobile, and iPad, and I thought to myself that it must have a huge battery, and worried that it may run out making it impossible to unlock it without the key, but I kept my key in my pocket just in case. I got onto the second plane, and suddenly it hit me the baggage restriction for that plane was only 4KG, and the bag itself is about 3KG, but luckily the staff did not care and let me take it on.

I later found out that the battery charging for USB devises cuts off well before the actual battery runs out, meaning you can still connect to it, and lock/unlock it. Also I found that the case itself being ~3KG is a bit annoying because you have to be careful what you pack.

This suit case seems to be really nicely built, with its strong poly carbonate body, and neat design. Many have faulted BlueSmart for not using a YKK zip, but personally I feel that it does not matter because it feels really sturdy, and you have to bare in mind that there is more than one supply ear for zips than just YKK, and I feel that BlueSmart made a wise decision.

Unfortunately legally you are not allowed to put this bag in the hold because it contains a LiPo battery which are prohibited, this is a massive pain, but I highly doubt that you would get caught, or punished if you do decide to check it in.

Overall this is a great suitcase, and I have full confidence that it will improve over time with software improvements. I recommend everyone to get one of these, they are really great, and you will not regret it.
