VAULTEK LifePod 10 Compact Lockable Weatherproof Case with Built-in Lock, Steel Security Cable, & TSA Handgun Case or Car Safe, Portable Travel Pistol Safe/Covert Black/Biometric

Sturdy, great looking case. I keep a Springfield Hellcat in there with an extra mag. Keypad or fingerprint recognition work very well, with 2 additional metal clasps on the sides. Very secure closure. Fits nicely in my backpack, discrete, easy to transfer between bags or into my vehicle. I think this is a great value. Would be effective for SSD’s or thumb drives for security and protection. If the battery dies you can temporarily power it via a usb connection. Highly recommend this small, cool looking and very secure case.

Great quality. Small storage capacity but it’s perfect for go bag! The locking mechanism is perfect and has great quality. Best bang for buck!! Will always have a VAULTEK now!

This is perfect for keeping your firearm safe and dry while traveling through states where you have to lock up everything unloaded in the trunk of your car (can be secured with a cable), or while traveling through airports and flying. I have flown with this many times with many airline carriers and have had no issues with the carriers nor TSA. I like the biometric opening. It's fast, easy, and accurate. I have not had an issue with biometrics at all. This is large enough to carry a small to medium size revolver with spare ammo, or a small to mid size semi-automatic with a couple magazines. Remember to keep a round out of the chamber if you are flying through TSA check points!

Excellent travel case, biometric works great with combination and key backups!

Perfect size

Heavy-duty yet lightweight, this safe is the perfect size for a mid‑size firearm and one additional magazine. I chose Vaultek over another brand because I already own two other models. While I love the safe itself, I was disappointed by the lack of clear instructions on the outside. At first, I thought the accessories were missing. The unit arrived locked and without power, so there was no obvious way to open or program it. My other two Vaultek safes both came with a power cord; this one did not. I ended up using the cord from another unit to power it, which allowed me to open it. The registration card, tether cable, and keys were all stored inside. I then used the QR code to access the instructions and learned that it requires a 9V battery to function. The USB‑C port is only for emergency power if the battery is dead and you don’t have the key. Once I installed the battery, programming was straightforward. One final note: unlike the LifePod 20, this model does not have an option handle.

I made the mistake of buying a cheaper copy of this thing that was not an American made gun safe. I return that as quick as I could and I purchased this. Don't waste your time and go ahead and go with the real thing. This is much better biometric reading and then the cheap stuff.

Love it. Well designed. Worth the extra money for the weight savings over the cheaper steel versions.
