A New Trio of Travel Companions
In an era when losing possessions during travel can swiftly turn a delightful vacation sour, Scapade, a startup based in Cyprus, introduces three innovative travel gadgets designed to keep your essentials tracked and secure: a cardholder, a passport cover, and a TSA-approved luggage lock. These gadgets connect to Apple’s ‘Find My’ network, ensuring that even when your mind is on your adventures, you won’t lose track of your belongings.

MagCard Pro: A Dual-Purpose Cardholder
Starting with the MagCard Pro, priced at 50 euros, it acts not just as a cardholder but also impressively doubles as an adjustable stand for MagSafe-compatible iPhones. This gadget, crafted from rustic faux leather with reinforcing plastic inserts, offers a robust build quality. The metal hinge connecting its two halves is particularly sturdy, providing a firm grip to the iPhone without any wobble, even when fully opened to access or store cards.
The MagCard Pro accommodates three plastic cards and includes a separate pocket ideally suited for business cards due to its slightly looser fit. Users can also tuck folded banknotes into these pockets for added convenience. The integration process with Apple’s ‘Find My’ network is straightforward, involving a few taps on your iPhone to bring the cardholder online within the app.
AirPass: Your Passport’s Best Ally
Similarly priced at 50 euros, the AirPass serves as a protective cover for your passport, made from the same materials as the MagCard Pro. It ensures your passport remains securely in place, eliminating worries about it slipping out accidentally. Like the MagCard Pro, the AirPass is equipped with additional pockets for storing cards or an ID, enhancing its utility for international travelers.
AirLock: Secure Your Luggage with Confidence
The third gadget, the AirLock, available for 40 euros, is a TSA-certified luggage lock. This certification is crucial for travelers to the USA and many other countries, as it allows security personnel to open the lock with a special key without damaging it. Though primarily made of plastic, the AirLock is sufficiently sturdy to deter quick theft attempts. It operates just like any TSA lock, with a default combination set to 000 which can be customized as needed.
Technical Aspects and Usability
All three devices boast an impressive battery life; the MagCard Pro and AirPass can go about nine months on a single charge, while the AirLock lasts about three months. Charging methods vary, with the MagCard Pro and AirPass supporting wireless charging, and the AirLock requiring a USB-C connection, with a full recharge taking approximately two hours.
Setting up each device with the ‘Find My’ network involves a simple button press, though some users might find the tiny print in the included instruction manuals challenging to read.
Performance and Practicality
During testing, the location tracking for each device worked flawlessly, adding a layer of security and peace of mind to the travel experience. However, there were minor issues such as the sound feature on the MagCard Pro ceasing to work after several uses—a potential early production hiccup. Additionally, despite manufacturer claims, these devices do not feature a method to turn them off, which could be a drawback for some users.
In summary, Scapade’s latest offerings appear well-equipped to tackle the common woes of traveling with valuable items. While certain functionality gaps and potential quality concerns were noted, these innovative products fundamentally deliver on their promise—keeping your travel essentials tracked and secure.
