BobinoZipper Clip | Anti Theft Purse & Backpack Lock | Anti Pickpocket | Travel Essentials | Purse and Backpack Safety | Travel Safety | 2 Pack Slate

I have a Travelon purse with zipper locks, but my next trip is a hiking trip where I’ll be carrying a backpack rather than a purse. I will oftentimes put a luggage lock on the zippers of my backpack, but I keep the key in my wallet, and on this trip I plan to keep my wallet in my backpack, and I had visions of myself locking myself out of my backpack. So I decided to do a zipper clip instead. I thought about getting the type of clips that are similar to the ones on my Travelon purse, but this one looked more attractive and better suited to a backpack, plus the color matches perfectly. The clips arrived on time, new and in the original packaging. Opening and closing this lock is not intuitive and requires 2 hands, and I definitely feel that it secures my backpack zippers very effectively. It is also difficult to attach to the zippers and remove again which was a hassle when putting on my backpack (and it took me 3 tries to get both sides on in the right direction) but again this increases the security these provide. The package comes with 2 clips which is a good thing as the one I put on my backpack is now there permanently (yes it can be removed if I wanted to do so, but it’s a real hassle to take on and off that I have no intention of removing it ever). Unlike a luggage lock, these are very light in weight, and since my backpack is completely full, I do not need even another couple ounces on my back. Overall, I think these are a good choice as a theft deterrent. If I have issues with the durability, I’ll update this review accordingly.*This review was made in good faith based on my personal experience with the product.

Purchased multiple of these of already multiple time for multiple trips abroad and plan to buy more if i ever need to in the future. Initially bought them for a quick trip to paris to deter that city’s infamous pickpockets. I see a few reviews here docking stars complaining that these are hard to operate, but i am giving these 5 stars because YES they are difficult to open! but that’s EXACTLY the point of buying these!! if a thief has never come across these locks they will definitely have a very difficult time figuring out to use this at which point you should have noticed already that someone is touching your bag because this requires 2 steps to open so there will definitely be movement of your bag that you should be able to feel. as the owner of the lock however, once you figure out how to open it, it should not be too difficult for you to open these especially with a little practice.keep in mind however, these are NOT actual locks, unlike say a traditional combination lock for luggage. given enough time a person will be able to figure out how to open or remove this. so this does still require some sort of vigilance on your part and you should still place your bag in such a way you’ll be able to sense movement of your belongings. but this product is definitely great for things such as purses that have small zipper openings that traditional locks wouldn’t be able to fit. used this in paris for my backpack that i still needed to be able to access without having to fumble around with a lock each time.pickpockets are great at using jackets or enclosed crowded spaces like elevators or public transport to cover up their thieving hands so these were also great to use with a crossbody purse since if when they tried any of their tricks i was able to feel if they were trying to unlock this.also keep in mind that you do need TWO zipper pull tabs to use this! i was not able to use this on the front pocket of my back pack as there wasn’t anything i would be able to attach the other side of the lock to.

These are great! Used one on my clear stadium purse at a concert. Easy to put on and took 2 hands to uplock. Served the purpose perfectly!

I really like this product because of the minimalist design rather having a clunky lock on my zippers on a backpack for traveling.That said, for anyone looking to purchase these should keep in mind that they are meant as a theft deterrent. Not a lock. If you pull hard enough on the zippers they are meant to keep together, it will eventually unsnap. However, it takes a decent amount of pulling to do so and you would definitely notice if your carrying your bag and some thief were to try. Surprisingly, the clips seemed to be kept durable even after testing how much strength it would take to open them on a bag. I think they do great as a deterrent!For me, the unlocking and locking was not that difficult once you figure out the trick that works for you. I will admit figuring out how to get them on the zippers and lay the correct way (not sticking out weird) on my backpack took a little bit. Also, their keyring that is used to attach to the zipper is kind of small (which is expected) and that made getting one on a little harder since I wasn't able to get that edge in the keyring at first. Maybe I just needed nails for it.Unsnapping and snapping them back together a few times definitely helped me to "wear them in" like another review mentioned. Overall, they can be a little pricey (probably for lack of actual competition) but I think they are worth the price for peace of mind. I would recommend them to someone who wants something subtle on their travel bags like a carry-on, backpack, etc.

These work perfectly. A great deterrent for anyone who commutes and wears a backpack. Someone have a hard time unzipping.
