The 'Samsara' Aluminum Suitcase Charges Devices and Tracks Location

The 'Samsara' smart aluminum suitcase also features a battery pack for charging your smartphone or MacBook as required.

An integrated LED lighting system helps shine a light on the interior compartment to ensure you can always find what you're looking for even if it's dark.
