The 10 Best Smart Luggage

When you consider the organizational features, size, and low price of the Yorepek Extra Large (around $43), you can see why it's the choice of everyone from business professionals to college students to serious globetrotters. Plus, it comes in plenty of colors, both neutral and bright.

Billed as "the best anti-theft backpack," the XD Design Bobby (about $82) is all smooth surfaces and sleek lines, with a cut-proof construction and hidden pockets to keep your gear secure. The fabric is water-repellent, too, so your electronics will be safe from rain or spills.

This Enkloze X1 (appx. $349) does two things well: first, it keeps your belongings secure with its strong aluminum frame and dual locks; and second, it weighs itself by way of an integrated digital scale. These features are easy to use, and the locks are TSA-approved for convenience.

The Travelpro Crew 11 (about $199) includes the increasingly crucial USB port, but that's far from all it has to offer. For instance, it's also got top and side handles for simple carrying, 360-degree dual spinner wheels, and a roomy interior lid pocket.

If you want to put together your own intelligent bag, you can start with the EatSmart Precision Voyager (around $14) digital scale. Unlike many others, it's got a large handle that's a cinch to grip, which complements its auto-calibration function nicely.

Although the Samsonite Underseater (appx. $104) was designed specifically to fit, that's right, under a plane seat, you'll need to be on a larger bird for this to be true. Nevertheless, if you don't have a ton of stuff to schlep, it's a compact choice with serviceable USB access.

For anyone toting a lot of juice-hungry tech, the Ghostek NRGmessenger (about $99) is a fine choice, as it comes with a removable 16,000 mAh battery that you can monitor via the exterior LED power bar indicator. It's also endowed with three USB access points.

There's no annoying rummaging with the Bopai Unisex (about $99). It unzips fully around three sides to open flat, so you can pack your clothes, laptop and other necessities with ease, and it gives you plenty of exterior compartments, too, including secret ones, for your smaller stuff.

Although it can be difficult to find a quality suitcase with an incorporated tracking device, you can still keep tabs on your baggage with the Americaloc Mini GPS (about $106). You'll have to spring for a subscription to use it, but for the peace of mind, it may be worth it.

This Icfun Canvas Sling (appx. $9) is on the smaller side; but if you like to travel light, that might not be such a bad thing. As a bonus, it packs quite a few pockets for a diminutive choice, including one with a charging cable passthrough.
