VAULTEKLifePod 20 Full-Size Biometric Lockable Weatherproof Case with Built-in Lock, Steel Security Cable, & TSA Handgun Case or Car Safe, Portable Travel Pistol Safe/Covert Black/Biometric

The Vaultek Life Pod 20 is simply amazing and I believe it to be the best portable safe for traveling that money could buy at this current time. I originally purchased this for a camping trip to keep it beside me at night just in case an animal or person put my family or I in harms way. I honestly thought I would only use the safe for traveling purposes, but I absolutely love this thing and have been keeping it right beside me on my nightstand. It is made up of hard plastic, but it honestly feels extremely sturdy and durable. As for the button inputs and biometrics, the inputs work great. The biometrics work well too, I'd recommend using the 1st and 2nd user profile for one finger so that it can read your finger print better at different angles. My only gripe with this safe is the micro USB charging port, for the love of God it is 2025...why would you make a product that uses micro USB in the age of Type C charging. It's a bit of a goofy move, but other than that this safe is seriously awesome and I highly recommend it.

This is a lightweight yet confidence-inspiring piece of kit that is great for keeping personal things secure and personal; whether EDC items like watches, knives, USB drives or firearms, or more trip-specific things like travel documents (passports, small photo equipment, etc.). The lock / unlock process is smooth and reliable, and the included security cable helps keep it where it is supposed to be. Could a motivated thief cut the cable and take it? Sure. But is it likely to be secure from kids or random maintenance personnel, etc. that might be a little too curious? You bet. It also has the exact dimensions to fit in a rear floor bin on a late model RAM truck - which is an amazing stroke of luck for a long road trip. Very highly recommended.

Good quality and easy to use. Nice and light.

I’ve been interested in Vaultek for a while now. But I had a “average” safe with a electric buttons for the combination. But I really wanted to get a nice portable one. Vaultek knocked it out of the park. Besides being incredibly well built and super functional, it’s an absolute work of art visually. It’s gorgeous.For functionality, they thought of everything and executed flawlessly. Biometric finger print entry. Key pad entry. Key entry just in case. But you can lock out the key entry. You can store up to 20 finger prints (includes the 2 admin finger prints). The usability is excellent. So easy to program and use. Inside has multiple configuration options based on your needs including a removable tray and extra foam. Steel cable to secure it. And built tough.If I could design the absolute perfect safe (I’m using them for my guns), I’d not even have come close to how perfect this one is.I can’t recommend it more. Just get it. You will be thrilled and be able to rest assured your gun(s) (or valuable) are safe.I’ll be getting the multi gun Vaultek MX soon. Well done Vaultek, you’ve gained a customer for life.

I bought the non biometric Lifepod a couple weeks ago for my SUV and wanted one for my bedside and chose the biometric model. These are secure and easy to set up. Most importantly though is that the firearms are away from curious adults and children yet quickly accessible. My Springfield Hellcat fits nicely in the top tray with some pluck foam. The safety on my S&W M&P Shield 2.0 won’t allow the gun to sit in the top tray and when placed in the bottom won’t allow the tray to be used because, again, the safety. A small consideration that Vaultec overlooked. However without the tray it works great and my gun is secure. Great product! Get quality 9V batteries; they aren’t included.

VAULTEK Lifepod 2.0 Secure Gun Safe ReviewIn many ways this is a very great gun safe for specific applications. This is not a bedside or nightstand type gun safe. It is built for travel. Waterproof, airtight, lightweight, great for taking it in your car or boat and it’s TSA compliant for air travel.I bought it thinking I could use it as a bedside safe. A couple of things make it unusable for this kind of application. Primarily there are two clips, one on either side, which pull the case closed tightly – making it airtight and waterproof. If you’re using this for a bedside safe, getting the clips unlocked could be difficult and clumsy. This will add time and complexity to getting to your gun quickly. The clips do what they’re supposed to do, but just be aware. The clips are also pretty loud when you spring them open. If you’re looking for stealth operations to unlock it in the middle of the night, this safe isn’t for you.Great as a travel safe and taking your stuff with you in a very secure case, but not for easy use at your bedside in the middle of the night. It just didn't work for me.

Excellent case for a handgun. The fingerprint setup was a little difficult but eventually got it to work. Every feature works as advertised.

I bought this for a Christmas gift for my step son and he loved it. They have a toddler who is now mobile and on the go. Keeping guns locked away and safe from my granddaughter and easy access for emergency use, I could not ask for more! There is no price for the safety of your grandchildren!
