Whenever you check your bag, there’s at least a little anxiety about whether it’s secure, and whether you can find it when you arrive. The SmartLock solves both problems by combining Apple Find My tech and TSA-approved security, with a two-pack available for $49.99.
The “lock” part of the SmartLock is an alloy shell built to deal with both rough baggage handlers and attempts to remove it by force. Similarly, the cable is easy to thread through zippers and other fasteners for a secure fit, while tough enough to resist attempts to cut it. The three-digit code is set by you and entered with easy-to-use dials, so while crooks are locked out, you aren’t. Change your code with every trip, or pick one you trust, it’s entirely up to you.
The “smart” part is a battery-powered system with multiple tracking and location tools. The battery itself is easily replaceable and lasts for up to three months, no USB charging needed. Apple Find My integration puts your SmartLock on a map to find where your bags went, and if you leave it behind, Lost Mode kicks in to remind you if you leave your lock or the bag it’s attached to behind. And if somebody has a similar bag, a sound feature helps you tell them apart or find it in a pile of bags.
The SmartLock is also certified by the TSA under its Travel Sentry program, meaning that it’s safe to use in air travel and that it meets the TSA Lock, TS ID, TS Tag, and Okoban standards. TSA agents have a master key, so you won’t have to use your combination where somebody might see it over your shoulder.
