Beautiful design, impeccable function, never looking back! I really love this gun safe!!!

Beautiful design, impeccable function, never looking back! I really love this gun safe!!!

Easily holds my Springfield XDS 9mm and two additional 8 round magazines. Initially I was hesitant to buy as it's rather expensive. However I have owned this for a few months now and I have not once regretted my purchase. The finger print sensor has never failed me, which was pleasantly surprising as I have had some frustrating issues with other fingerprint bio-metric devices in the past.

The battery seems to be very good as well. I have only charged it once, when I first received it. I open and close it several times daily as I always conceal carry when I leave my house, from what I can tell myself and from other reviewers it likely wont need a charge for several months or more. Also a bonus that was not indicated in the description is it's lit from the inside, so even in the pitch black of night you can see everything inside saving precious seconds fumbling around.

I got mine in the stainless steel finish and it blends in with my decor seamlessly, to everyone else it appears to be a piece of tech, not until I show them do they even begin to suspect it's a container, let alone a gun safe. All my friends whom are fellow gun owners have been very impressed and always ask where to get one.

Buy this and have the piece of mind of easy and safe access to your firearms. Safer all around for everyone if you ask me :-P you won't regret it!

Junk print reader

Super-finicky fingerprint reader! Took lotion to get it to memorize my prints and now have to lick my finger before it will open. Should have listened to the other one star reviews and looked elsewhere.

Great quality product.

This is a great little safe. I was a little disappointed at how long it takes to open. Yes, the fingerprint scanner works well, but it seems like it takes about 2 seconds to open. If I needed something in a hurry, it seems a little slow. It was much larger than it looked in the pictures, but it matches the dimensions exactly. It is well made. Quality product. Stylish. Comes with RFID cards and key rings as well as a lot of programmable fingerprints.

Not happy!!

I've had this product for about a year, it has now stopped working. I cannot open the safe and the company is giving me the run around about how to open the safe. I asked for a partial refund for this inferior product, they refuse to give it to me and hung up the phone on me, when I asked for a refund. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE THAT STOPS WORKING FOR NO REASON!!!

Quick easy access to my gun right next to my bed
by Amazon Customer (4 out of 5 stars)

Quick easy access to my gun right next to my bed. No one can tell want it is, just looks like a normal case and looks decent. My only complaint is that the motion alarm goes off for every tiny little vibration. i wish it would be less sensitive so to go off only if actually moved. i have turned off the motion completely, but still love the convenience of this case.

Doesn't work with Android
by Amazon Customer (3 out of 5 stars)
April 21, 2017

Seems like a well built and functional safe. I like the features. MAJOR problem is that the app does not connect with and ANDROID device. My Motorola Turbo 2 and new Galaxy S8+ can manually detect it, but the app cannot see it. App has so much potential too. iPhone seems to work right away. Advertising is nothing more than a flat out lie. It's a shame, seems like a good product otherwise. Unfortunately I don't seem to be the only one experiencing these issues. BEWARE

Would not recommend

Disappointed in this product had for about a year and a half. Every time I have tried to open it takes a few tries. Today it won't open at all. The purpose of a gun safe is to protect your firearm and be able to access it at a moments notice. I could have bought others at a fraction of the price.

"The battery will basically last forever. . ." (that's 2-1/2 years in real time)
by Fred (1 out of 5 stars)
November 26, 2016

Final update, July 2019:

So, I bought my first Gun Box in November 2016. Once I figured out how to use the app to set it up it worked great, except that the thumbprint reader was never very accurate, but I have NEVER been able to get thumbprint readers to work consistently, on anything. That's probably just me, regardless, I just always used the RFID card to open it, and everything was honky-dory . . . until . . . Come May, 2019, the box is 2-1/2 years old, and the battery is dead, dead, dead. When I called Gun Box support 2-1/2 years ago they told me the battery would basically last forever. I guess forever lasts for 2-1/2 years. Now it turns out that the box won't open without the battery. Even with the box plugged in, the house current isn't enough to open it without the battery. I had bolted the box down to secure it. Now I guess I will have to drill it out to get my Sig back. Overall, the Gun Box is great for a while. It looks great, and it works great. If the thumbprint reader works for you, so much the better, but the shelf life is abysmal for a $600 investment (I bought 2). I was thinking about buying the shotgun box, but not now. I will never spend another dime on a Gun Box. Once I get my Sig back the Gun Boxes are headed for the landfill. It's too bad. I really liked the Gun Box. This is just . . . disappointing.

Update, February 2017:

Turns out the phone app does work with my Galaxy 6S. The problem was user error, but it took GunBox over 2 months to figure that out. That said, they did keep our dialog going until we solved the problem.

Now I can comment about the phone app. While the phone app can open the box, that isn't its primary purpose. The phone app is used to configure the GunBox and view its status. I suspect that most of what you can do with the app you can also do without it, but the app makes it easier. I used the app to set the alarm, set up the fingerprint reader, and configure the RFID dongles and cards. To use the phone app you have to hit the shield button on the box to connect to the phone . . . every . . . time you want to do something. The connection times out after about 20 seconds for security, so you have to be quick and don't want to give your RFID tags a long name. Again, this is only a problem when setting the GunBox up. After that you won't use the app much.

I still like the GunBox and I am planning to buy another one. It looks good, it's solidly built, and it's easy to operate. I use the RFID tags to open it. The fingerprint reader works about 50% of the time for me, but that's about standard with any fingerprint reader I have used. I haven't tried the lower "Sure Set" setting that makes the reader more forgiving (and less secure) yet. The only thing I don't much care for is the smell of contact cement when the GunBox opens. I asked them about that and they said that contact cement is the only thing they can use to make the rubber stick. They say that the battery will last up to a year between charges. Of course I would assume that depends on use and environment. You can check battery status with the app. I would encourage anyone considering buying a GunBox to go to their website and watch the tutorials first to see how they work.
It's a nice box, appears to be well made, it looks pretty, and the Kensington lock is a nice add on.
