TL;DR: As of Feb. 27, you can keep your belongings from tumbling around with the TROVA Go for $249. 

Sure, your workbag or handbag has a zip enclosure that can store your items — but how safe is that design, really? If you have small belongings, memory cards, IDs, jewelry, or keys that you’d want away from prying eyes, a simple zipper isn’t going to do the trick. But a smart, biometric storage unit does.  

The TROVA Go, a compact biometric storage system (priced at $249), makes stowing your sensitive items a safer process. This discreet device is about the size of an external battery pack, making it small enough to fit in a large pocket or small handbag, but big enough to hold a variety of items at once. Its interior features a large compartment, an internal strap that can keep credit cards or cash safe, as well as an upper lid strap that can hold rings and other small jewelry items via a magnetic closure. The TROVA’s exterior is finished with a silicone over-mold that conceals odors for any recreational (read: legal) products you want to be concealed.

Unlike a typical safe, the TROVA Go is accessible via biometric scanning (a.k.a, the same technology that your iPhone uses for fingerprint recognition). When you connect the device to the TROVA app, you’ll be able to lock and unlock the device wirelessly with your thumbprint. The app can also track your device, ensuring you never lose it.  

While its price tag of $249 doesn’t make it the most affordable safe on the market, it does give users peace of mind that their private belongings stay safe and secure no matter where they wander. And for many of us, that’s worth every single penny.
