Bluesmart's built-in a battery charger allows you to charge two devices simultaneously whether it's your laptop, tablet or smartphone up to six times over. It also features a built in digital scale, allowing you to cross-reference your travel service with the maximum weight limit of your carry-on. Protected compartments keep your valuable electronics secure, damage free and readily accessible for removal at security. The Bluesmart app syncs with the suitcase to give you up to date information about your travels such as airports visited, miles traveled and time spent in a particular country as well as proximity alerts and GPS tracking; all from an easy-to-use mobile app.

“The Indiegogo community has felt the pains and hassles of traveling and responded by helping us to reach our goal and make Bluesmart a reality. We are astounded by the response so far, and thrilled to make traveling convenient and work harmoniously with your electronic devices” explains Brian Chen, co-founder of Bluesmart.

Bluesmart's unique patent-pending technology seamlessly connects to your smart phone with an easy-to-use app to completely manage your smart carry on. This technology allows features such as:

• Digital Lock: lock and unlock the suitcase from the phone app. The proximity sensors automatically lock the bag when it is separated from the user.
• Digital Scale: see the exact weight of the suitcases on the app and whether it's approved by the airline to carry on.
• Distance Alerts: receive notifications on your smartphones via SMS to avoid loss or theft.
• Location Tracking: with GPS technology Bluesmart tracks the location of the suitcase and helps you find it when lost or re-routed.
• Trip Stats and Data: see trends in travel habits (miles traveled, airports visited, time per state/country) and sync with other services for smart notifications and reminders.
• Battery charger: recharge electronic devices up to six times while on the go.

“Finally we can cut out the personal travel assistant, and conveniently pack it into your smart phone and carry-on luggage. We are confident moving forward to be at the very forefront of the technology travel market.” Tomi Pierucci, Co-founder explains.
