VAULTEK LifePod 2.0 Secure Waterproof Travel Case Rugged Electronic Lock Box Travel Organizer Portable Handgun Case with Backlit Keypad (Covert Black) (Biometric)

It works well for the few things I will have in this lifepod. For the few times I’ve entered code and relocked it seems like it will be an easy enter and lock safe.

This gun safe from Vaultek does what it says - more space than the 1.0 but not a ton, so it fits my M&P shield with a flashlight and spare magazine, and I could fit as many as 8 extra magazines in the bottom layer or some other accessories. I really like the little included shelf to separate the top and bottom halves of the interior. It is very convenient to be able to use two layers or leave it out for a wider firearm. Pluck foam or a lid organizer have to be purchased separately if you get a normal edition, but they give you some other thin foam sheets that worked for me. The light is a nice touch, and it provides just enough light to help if youre really in the dark. The bulb shines from the front keypad and back. Itll illuminate whatever is in the very front of the storage space but not much further back so dont expect a full vies of safes contents, especially if you have something right up front. It has these plastic latches on the sides that I think are meant to keep the waterproof o ring compressed, but it also means the case cant be opened from inside a drawer or sitting on a table without picking it up and undoing the very loud latches on its sides, which are hard to open with one hand. It stays closed, but good luck opening this quickly or quietly in an emergency. It also cant be opened if stored somewhere without adequate space on the sides to open those latches, so you should account for this when deciding where to store it. There doesnt appear to be a good way to store it with these latches undone, even if locked, because they just kind of hang off the sides, but it looks like they can be unscrewed when the latch is open so you could fully remove them. Also, I didnt realize the whole case is a pretty light feeling plastic (but pretty solid when the whole thing is closed up), and the latch is just a metal loop held in with four tiny screws. Id compare this to an actual gun safe the way Id compare the lock on my bathroom door to the lock on my front door. Its a privacy box, not a safe. This is for making sure kids dont accidentally stumble across your firearms, and in that way it works. It would also be great for bringing a handgun or two to the range if you need to keep them locked up while driving. But a minute or two with a regular hammer and an adolescent could smash the whole box to bits without much effort and get to the firearm inside. I would be really nervous to drop this on the pavement. Ultimately any consumer safe wont hold up to a determined attacker, so just know what youre getting here. If you want a relatively safe little box you can use to organize your firearms, place it in your nightstand and know the kids wont be able to easily pop it open, this might be perfect for you. Its really expensive for what youre getting. Ive bought $20 lock boxes that feel more secure but those dont have code access. For the most part, it does what I need. Still, would have liked something with a little more strength to it for what I paid. Update: After a little testing and looking through the manual more, it is clear the side latches are necessary to close the box. If youre using any kind of compression foam, including the kind of comes with, it puts enough pressure on the latch that it can actually keep the box from locking and unlocking properly, so while they are technically removable, dont remove them. For what it is, it does the job and is compact enough to fit in a narrow desk drawer without issue but understand that theres no getting around the need to pick the box up and unlatch it when opening.

Ive got everything in here except the kitchen sink. Amazing product for the price.

Already used while traveling and it worked out fine. My only request is a 6 foot security cable rather than 4!

I must say, I was some what of a skeptic when I first began to see advertisements about the life pod safe. I recently had the need for a versatile safe while taking an extended road trip for my valuables. Once I watched a few videos on the safe, I elected to try the 2.0, of course the Colin Noir edition. I was very surprised at the quality and functionality of this life pod. Very easy to get started and I immediately knew all my items were safe. “Heavy construction” The life pod is perfect for traveling and gives an added dimension to hotel safety. I would highly recommend this product if your in the market for a portable option.

I originally bought this as a safe for a car. I found out it is so much more useful. I travel and spend a lot of time in hotels. I can easily take it out of the car and use it to secure valuables in the hotel room. Ive also used it for plane travel. The biometrics have been 100% flawless. The safe opens immediately and has a LED inside for lighting. My only complaint is I wish the carry handle was included. I cant imagine why you would use the safe without it. Due to the size (which is ideal), transporting it is difficult without using the handle or placing it in a bag.

Good carry case but didnt fit both of my pistols together. I have a G19 and a hellcat

Finally a nice portable safe that can house a Glock 45 with holographic site and Olight attachment along with extra magazines!!!

I did read some reviews of it not working correctly. I ensured that I tested it based on some of the negative reviews but mine worked great. Just note that with 2 guns unloaded and 4 clips, it is a little harder to close. So you will need to push down to ensure it locks but no problems opening

Pretty good product but can tell it wouldn’t be too hard to break into if someone wanted too. Overall would be 5 stars if it was a bit cheaper
