A untracable Gigai which also limits generation of users leatsu. Merging with your soul and rendering your shinigami powers useless .

eg: The one he gave to Rukia to hide Hōgyoku and seal it in her permanently .

A portable inflatable one, which he uses as a decoy in combat.

Spoiler for = Manga:

I understand that, and I adore the inflatable Gigai. I suppose if the Urahara Shop is somehow kept from normal human perception, that would explain how Urahara ambles around geta-bōshi style and still has access to Benihime.

However we see some of the school chums in the training center (ish 240?) and they see Urahara with no problems. Was he using a gigai then? Or is his reiatsu that powerful that he can interact with the real world without a gigai?
