Now, suitcase that weighs itself

A Brisbane-based company has developed a suitcase that weighs itself while packing.

A Kickstarter campaign for a suitcase with a built-in scale is hoping to raise 95,000 Australian dollars over the next two weeks to make this luggage dream a reality, ABC News reported.

According to the Kickstarter page, one just needs to close the lid of the designated suitcase, and without having to entirely enclose the zips, the press of a single button will let you know the weight of your luggage and by simply pressing an 'ON' button, the weight of your luggage will be displayed on the LCD screen. The scale will be automatically turned off after 1 minute to preserve battery life.

TUL also comes with an external suitcase protection jacket and a luggage lock that satisfies Transportation Security Administration requirements.
