Crowdfunding Smash: An Overdesigned Zipper Lock
Ad 728×90
More proof that in this digital age, people are desperately craving physical objects they can manipulate. EDC brand Titaner has designed this Trident , a talisman-like zipper lock: The Trident is fiddly to open—and that's exactly the point.
The idea is that pickpockets will be too flummoxed to figure out how to quickly get it open. To lock it, you insert this key-like bit, and the two arms won't open.
To unlock it, you press on the ruby thing and pull on the key. There's a second level of locking, where after you insert the key, you slide an additional switch on the side.
