The smart suitcase that weighs itself and charges your phone is launching in the UK this week
Once you've downloaded the Raden app and registered for an account, you can start "pairing" your phone to your suitcase.
To "pair" the devices, hold your phone close to the suitcase, then connect them via the Raden app. This should take about a minute.
When your phone successfully pairs, you can weigh your case by clicking on the in-app "weight" tab.
When you're fully packed, stand your case upright and tap the "calibrate" button on your app.
There are two sets of scales located on either side of the case, meaning there's no need to weigh it yourself.
Tap the "weigh my case" button, and pick up your case off the ground to let the scales work their magic.
After a few seconds, the app will display your suitcase's weight.
This is how much a carry-on case weighs without additional luggage. The larger model weighs 5.9kg when empty.
The Raden app will also ask you to choose your nearest airport. This is so that you can check the weather, journey time and how long the queue at security is.
Both the carry-on and larger case come with an in-built USB port, so you can charge your phone on the move.
Every Raden case comes with a 7,800 mAh battery. According to the firm's website, it can fully charge an iphone up to five times.
It even makes arriving at your destination easier. The suitcase has built-in proximity sensors that tell you when your case is coming down the carousel.
"The $40 billion luggage industry is built on providing a basic travel product with little innovation in design and technology," Raden founder and CEO Josh Udashkin told Business Insider.
Udashkin's firm spent almost two years developing the cases, which "successfully combine design, technology, and value in an effort to solve the headaches we all experience while travelling."
