Many retailers in Germany are selling off the last remaining Rimowa cases right now. The E-Tag version is usually a bit cheaper than the traditional version without E-Tag. I assume they aren't selling too well. Anyway: you don't need to be fortunate to have an E-Tag Rimowa. In a few weeks these will probably be the only ones still available.

Compare that to:
- Sent my priority bag tags to my Rimowa straight from my IPhone via Lufthansa app. Worked on LX as well. --> Skip this step. I assume you still had to check in by phone. Works with most airlines.
- When you check in, the agent scans your suitcase/electronic tag and it registers in the system. --> When you check in, the agent prints your tag and attaches it to the suitcase. It's registered automatically.
- Then an electronic receipt appears on your phone (again via LH app under Baggage Receipts). -->Then an electronic receipt appears on your phone
I'm starting to see why I'm not the only one not ready for "the future" yet...
