Miami — Luggage maker Heys USA has introduced the BioCase, a two-SKU line consisting of a hard-sided 19-inch business case and a 20-inch carry-on luggage piece that require an owner’s fingerprint for accessibility when locked.

Each case will recognize up to eight fingerprints with a memory that remains charged for 90 days. The cases can be charged using a power adapter or USB plug.

Both cases are lightweight and feature ergonomic, non-slip TRP comfort grips and fully lined interiors.

“Heys has established a standard of excellence by providing function, quality, and durability without compromising style,” said Heys USA president and CEO Harry Sheikh. “And now it is time for us to leverage technology to rewrite the rules of luggage. It is what our customers have come to expect from Heys USA.”

Retailer availability will begin in April. Suggested retails are $700 for the business case and $775 for the carry-on.
