Walking with a smartphone in your hand, eating while looking at your phone, playing smartphone games on crowded trains... all of these are not uncommon scenes that abound in the city. However, many people must be suffering from physical and mental problems such as stiff shoulders, tired eyes that do not heal, and stress over social networking sites.
Samsonite, the world leader in travel items, has teamed up with Google to create a new collaboration item called "Konnect-i. The collaboration is with Google, the world's leading travel company. This newest technology backpack is the next generation of bags that will make your daily activities smarter, without being limited by your smartphone.
The most distinctive feature is Jacquard™ by Google, which is integrated into the left shoulder strap. This is a pioneering system that synchronizes with the user's smartphone to make calls, music, photos, navigation, and many other daily activities more sensible and seamless.

Jacquard™ Tag by Google" on the left shoulder strap.
Operation is quite simple. First, pair the "Jacquard™ Tag" with your smartphone through the dedicated app. Then, according to the settings, the "Jacquard™ by Google" can be controlled by swiping up, down, double tapping, or using the cover gesture on the left shoulder strap.
For example, you can check your registered schedule by asking Google Assistant. Of course, you can also play, stop, or skip music, or check the title of the song playing. With a simple gesture, you can also take pictures from a distance without touching your smartphone. Navigation, which used to be done while looking at the screen, can now be operated entirely with the strap, including checking estimated time of arrival and route guidance.
Equipped with a padded PC pocket and a large opening front pocket.
The simple monotone-based coloring with gunmetal-tone reflectors throughout is also a key feature.
There are two models: the Slim Backpack with vertical zipper and the Standard Backpack with horizontal zipper. Both are made from water-repellent polyester material with multiple layers of thickness to form firm, supportive shoulder straps. Aside from the easily accessible front pocket, the interior features a padded PC pocket that can hold up to a 15.6" laptop and a tablet pocket.
Every "Konnect-i" comes with a box of Jacquard™ tags, a Jacquard™ tag, and a micro USB cable to charge the Jacquard™ tag. The battery can last from about 10 days to 2 weeks, depending on the level of use.
Konnect-i, which provides advanced, hassle-free support that makes your activities more seamless than ever before, will be available at limited stores and on the official website starting October 6, 2012. Finally, here is an image movie of the product.
