Bluesmart Smart Carry-On Suitcase Exceeds Its Funding Target On Indiegogo By Three Times

Remember Trakdot Luggage Tracker Gives You Peace Of Mind While Flying, the battery powered luggage tracker that made sure that your luggage remained safe wherever you flew across the world? A couple of guys from New York, USA have taken that idea and developed a carry-on sized suitcase called Bluesmart. As of this writing Bluesmart has managed to garner funds of $165,105 which is more than thrice its target goal of $50,000 in just a single day. With 35 days still to go we can expect it to be one of the most successful Indiegogo projects ever. So what makes the Bluesmart carry-on suitcase such a big hit? Find out in the next paragraph where we discuss how it makes air travel less arduous.


One of the most frequent foibles of air travel is lost or misplaced baggage. The menace sometimes makes it to the news when a celebrity or a politician gets his/her luggage misplaced by an airline. Since Bluesmart is connected to your smartphone, it can warn you when you go a certain distance without your luggage. The location tracker feature on the app can help you locate it when it goes missing. Many a times when you travel via air one of the restrictions is on the weight of luggage you can carry. Most of the times we have run some guess estimates but with Bluesmart it’s just a matter of lifting the luggage from the ground and the digital scale sends the weight figures to your smartphone app. The smartphone app can also be used to lock or unlock the carry-on suitcase. As a safeguard feature the locks automatically engage when you move too far away from the suitcase.


Since it is a carry-on luggage it is responsible for carrying your electronics such as laptops and tablets which are to be removed from the bag during security checks. To make the removal easier, there is a separate compartment inside Bluesmart that houses laptops and tablets. Inside every Bluesmart you can find a rechargeable battery pack that can be used to charge your smartphone, tablet or e-book reader. The company has however not mentioned the capacity of the battery. Coming on to the dreary features of the suitcase, it is made out of three layers of polycarbonate that makes it sturdy as well as lightweight. The zippers are waterproof and the handle is made out of anodised aluminium and yes it has four wheels for ease of movement. Early backers will be getting a Bluesmart for as low as $195 and the retail prices of the product are expected to start at $235.
