Holy cow this is cool! Love the "sliding door" entry, really wonder if Airport Security will break this though. Furthermore it has a build-in scale, Removable battery + USB charger and GPS for when you loose it ;) Maybe @thegreatgasty can answer some Q's! See more

Always great to see another entry to the "connected luggage" space. Would love to hear what really differentiates Trunkster from, say, BlueSmart.

Gaston, love the concept and have a few concerns. 1) will the sliding door end up taking valuable real estate if it is tucking into the bottom of suitcase? 2) Do you lose the ability to have pockets and other segmenting flaps? 3) Where does one put a laptop?

I just bought new luggage and although this looks cool it's hard to justify against a 3-piece Samsonite set at Costco for $149 (big, medium, and carry-on). Maybe I'm just a cheapo Luddite because I can't imagine hauling around extra weight for a battery just in case I need to recharge some device.

Incredibly interesting. Love the idea of adding shelving inside it. The old Louis Vuitton steamer trunks were unbelievable and would love to see something like that in modern times!
