The Vaultek LifePod XE Standard Edition is the entry point into Vaultek's new XE briefcase-style lockbox lineup, built for the gun owner who wants reliable portable storage at the most accessible price point. Whether this is your first portable handgun safe or you're upgrading from an older LifePod and want the new slimmer profile, the Standard Edition gives you all of Vaultek's proven security with a clean, modular interior ready to grow with you.
Open it with the Smart Sense touch-activated keypad and a custom 4- to 8-digit code, or with one of the two included manual backup keys. The Standard Edition is the keypad-and-key configuration at the lowest price point in the XE lineup. If you want fingerprint access, the LifePod XE Biometric Edition or Special Edition is the version to choose
The body is Vaultek's TP3 polymer, the next-generation version of the T3 used on earlier LifePods. It's a proprietary impact-resistant blend that is neither metal nor light-duty plastic. It's drop-tested, lightweight, and rugged enough to ride in a glovebox, backpack, or checked luggage. The closed case measures 14.125 inches wide, 12 inches deep, and 3.75 inches tall, with a slim briefcase profile that gives the XE line its name. It fits under a vehicle passenger seat, in a backpack, in a carry-on, or in a nightstand drawer without taking over the space.
Dual front compression latches plus an inner rubber gasket make the LifePod XE airtight, dustproof, water-resistant enough to float, and TSA-compliant for checked-luggage firearm transport when you follow your airline's guidelines. A quick-release steel security cable mount lets you tether the box to a vehicle frame, bed frame, or fixed anchor when you need to leave it unattended.
Inside, the Standard Edition ships with a top lid crate foam layer and multiple lower crate foam layers, which you can rearrange to adjust the depth for smaller or larger items. The modular interior also accepts a range of optional Vaultek accessories (sold separately): a lid organizer with mesh pockets, a quick-release mounting kit, and a removable drop-in tray with quick-release straps for vehicle mounting. Start with the foam and add what you need over time.
A 9V alkaline battery (not included) runs the electronics for up to a year of normal use. If the battery dies, a hidden USB-C port behind the front keyhole cover lets you power the unit externally and get back in. The compression seal works whether or not the battery is alive, so even an out-of-power LifePod XE still keeps water and dust out.
Available in Covert Black. If you have questions about whether the XE fits your handgun, or you need more interior space for multiple handguns or longer firearms (in which case the LifePod XR or LifePod XT may be the better fit), give us a call at 800-207-2259, Monday through Friday, 8AM to 5PM PST. We'll walk you through it.
