eGeeTouch Smart Travel Padlock with Patented Dual Access Technologies (NFC + BT), Vicinity Tracking, etc. (BLACK)

I have been using combination luggage locks, but decided to try this electronics lock after hearing it from friend. As the reviews posted by others are a mix of positives and negatives, I thought I would better thoroughly tested it before using for actual travel. Now, after a week of testing, I decided it will replace my old lock for this coming Friday's trip.Basically the system is simple to use and works well. On my iPhone 7+, the installation was smooth and stable. I have also installed on my wife's Galaxy Note5 (Android 7.0), but the app hang after first installation. After deleting and reinstalling the app, no problem after. So I tried another Android phone (my backup phone but also Android 7.0) but no problem on this one.After a week of lock/unlock testing with the lock and 3 phones, my conclusion is that the lock and iPhone app are very stable, while the Android app will occasionally not able to detect the lock and will wait for a long time at the "Press Power-On button on eGeeTouch... Please wait..." pop-up message. What I will do on such occasions is that if it does not detect after 2 or 3 seconds after pressing the Power-On button, just kill the app (press the left button to list the running apps and swipes to remove the app) and run the app again. Since this is easy to do and it always connect when kill/re-run, it does not quite bother me. So I am happy with this new gadget.

Well, I started out wanting and ready to give this item a 5 Star rating when I first bought it in late December. I was so impressed with the technology and convenience that I thought this would provide; so much that I bought two of them. One of the locks worked great...FOR ONLY ONE TRIP!! Shortly after that, it stopped working and it no longer stays locked. I can actually pull it unlocked with just a gentle pull and it feels like it could not hold up on the first trip it took. Everything else with the electronic functionality of it worked great before it stopped working. I loved the convenience and innovative thoughts that were put into this lock. I am not afraid that the 2nd lock I bought at the same time will also stop working! I am hoping to get this resolved with the seller so I can either get a refund or an exchange.

I have three of these, and recently used all three on a trip to Korea and Japan - one on my rolling bag, and two on my backpack (files in one compartment, PC/tablet in another, hence the need for two locks).They worked great. I put the smart tags on a key chain, and just kept it with me. I didn't use the app on my phone very often. It took me just a little bit to get the hang of the timing for a) a short or long press on the button to enable either Bluetooth or NFC on the lock, and b) how long to hold the smart tag near the lock to be read and unlock it. Once I got the hang, it works like a charm.It can be just a bit confusing using three locks - there's no way to tell which smart tag goes with which lock until you try them. There's a certain small degree of increased security with that, I guess, but it does make the unlocking process take a few seconds longer. I will probably find a way to mark the locks and smart tags so I can tell which tag goes with which lock (something less obvious than just marking both the lock and the smart tag #1, #2, or #3).

I love the convenience of having be able to unlock without another key. I used the fob without ever having any problems. The app needs work to connect to Samsung's Gear s3 watch. It was very unreliable. Also the app sometimes wouldn't locate the lock.

I got this smart lock for my 9 yo to lock his game, computer and wallet in his backpack and he loves it. It was super easy to set up and he can lock and unlock his locker with his phone. Quality is great! Happy with my purchase!

Once I was able to figure out how to sync the lock to my phone, it provided the state of mind I needed traveling to Europe that my luggage was secure. I did have difficulty setting the lock on the way home so I did not use it. I am traveling again in a few months and will give it another shot. I am not sure if there needs to be a strong internet connection to get the lock and phone app to sync so that makes me nervous.

This product does exactly what it says on the box. It was easy to set-up and use. I will never have to worry about a losing the key or forgetting the combination ever again. I will certainly be purchasing more of these for myself or as presents. This is a product that is well made and survives the baggage handlers at the airport.13 Jan '17 UpdateHaving now used this lock on both checked bags and carry on it is definitely something I would recommend for all travelers. It is quick and easy to use either with my phone, Apple Watch or tag supplied. No searching for keys or trying to find my glasses to put in a combination. On my last trip my checked luggage was opened by TSA, I assume as part of their checked luggage standard checks and re-locked without any issues. It is so convenient, I can't see myself ever using any other locks other than these

COMPLETE USELESS JUNK!! Could not get the app to work on my Samsung S25 and I am an IT professional. As far as I got was connecting the lock to my phone with the default password I had to enter a million times and it said "wrong password". Finally it took the password but then when I tried reset the password to my default it would not work...ever. At that point I decided that if it was having this much issue getting it set up then I wasn't feeling confidant for using it on a trip without it constantly having issues. Returned and got the reliable cable lock with combination. They work and are WAY cheaper. Avoid this product!!!
