From [iWallet USA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iclutch-smart-wallet), the iPassport provides a safe and sleek way to carry not just your passport and relevant travel documents, but your ID, credit cards and similarly important items when you're on the go. As 300,000 passports go missing every year just in the United States, this tech-embedded product will come in handy to many. For frequent fliers and occasional travelers, the identity and passport protector comes equipped with a [biometric locking mechanism](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultraloq-smart-home-locks) as well as RF shielding. The carbon fiber and leather passport case holds your information securely and only opens for the user's fingerprint. It also has a [Bluetooth tethering function](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tracking-card-pro) that works with supported smart devices, so when synced devices aren't in immediate proximity to each other an alarm will sound. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 18% | Activity: 15% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Biometric Security:** The use of biometric authentication in travel accessories presents opportunities for more secure products. - **RF Shielding:** The integration of RF shielding in travel accessories can be a selling point for security-focused consumers. - **Smart Device Integration:** The inclusion of smart device integration in travel accessories can offer convenience for tech-savvy consumers. ### Where This Applies - **Travel Accessories:** The travel accessories industry can explore innovative ways to incorporate biometric and RF shielding technology for customer security. - **Identity Verification:** The identity verification industry can adopt biometric authentication technology for a more secure and user-friendly experience. - **Smart Device Accessories:** The smart device accessory industry can create products that integrate with travel accessories for added convenience and security. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Trackable Travel Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trackable-passport-wallet.md) - [Smartphone Passport ID Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-digital-id.md) - [Digital Travel Document Wallets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-us-passport.md) - [Tech-Equipped Suitcase Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oogo-smart-luggage.md) - [Trackable Smart Luggage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casesafe.md) - [Female-Focused Smart Wallet Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iclutch-smart-wallet.md) - [Biometric Aluminum Micro Safes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trova-go-plus.md) - [Digital Skincare Passports](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ule-1.md) - [Location-Tracking Luggage Locks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taglock-travel-lock.md)
