July Debuts CaseSafe, First Suitcase With Built‑In Apple Find My and Google Find Hub Tracking

The Australian startup embeds dual‑network location tech in a TSA‑approved lock module.

Overview

  • CaseSafe is on sale in the U.S. in carry-on, checked, and checked plus sizes priced from $325 to $395.
  • The tracker sits in a top plastic strip beside a TSA‑approved, battery‑operated lock, with a pull tab to power on and a button to pair to Apple Find My or Google Find Hub.
  • July says it developed the integration with Apple and Google, enabling real‑time bag location within their native networks.
  • The module uses a replaceable button battery with a life of more than 12 months, and remaining charge can be viewed on a phone.
  • A limited Qantas run earlier this year sold thousands, and July says it has patented parts of the component as it pushes integrated tracking toward wider adoption.
