This is truly a must-have for gadgeteers. Have you ever got those situations in which you don't want to receive calls but want a good "excuse"? Your solution is here.
The pouch works by blocking most (not all) cell phone signals so that the operator knows you are still "online" but the signal is simply no longer powerful enough to send and receive calls.
.
It works well in Hong Kong and China where operators gives callers different messages for "phone is off" and "phone is unreachable". Normally the "phone is unreachable" message is given when say, you're in an elevator, subway, or tunnel crossings. I'm pretty sure operators in other countries also have this two messages.
When I called myself with my cell phone "blocked", it took a long while before I hear the unreachable message - it almost seems like the operator knows you're on but they can't find you. Normally when my phone is off the caller would immediately get a "phone is off" message after dialing.
So now when you don't want calls, you can tell people you're in a signal blind spot and it's the operator's fault (not yours)!

Cool stuff.

Ownership verified by DX It's a pouch that blocks all calls!

Pros: -It's very cheap!
-Has a nice leather feel.
-It really blocks all of the cell phone signals and nobody can call you!

Cons: -For me, the leather on the outside started to wear out and rip. =( Other than that, yeah, really good.
-For this pouch to work, you'll want to charge your phone EVERYDAY. Since your phone has no signal, your phone will use more battery life to try to retrieve a signal.

Other Thoughts: I tested out the pouch. I put my phone in the pouch, used my sister's cell phone to call. It works and it doesn't ring, even when I left it on Ringtone:loud. However, I heard my sister's phone and said the same operating message. :(

Bottomline: I usually forget to silence my phone, so this pouch helps it, so my phone doesn't get confiscated! XD

Pros: a phone in the bag can't definitely get no signal! A phone only is using more energy, so your battery will need to see a charger more often. :P
I have a FiiO E3 amp which is very sensitive to phone signal, it makes a lot of "phone noise " when somebody is calling. With the amp in this bag there is no "phone noise" anymore.

Cons: can't find any. Maybe another color or another size? But this is something personally

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: nice bag which blocks mobile phone signal both ways! Very useful if a phone may not be used or if a device may not receive any phone signal.

Pros: - Nice looking black 'leather feel' pouch.
- It works as described.
- It has two pockets, very convenient
- Tries to block signals.
- If it does, you wont get the standard "phone is shut down" but another one.
- seems very well sewn.

Cons: - For me it wont work coz there is cell tower close to my home...

Other Thoughts: Works exactly as advertised. Can't believe it, but it does. On some phone models you can see the bars actually disappear as you just place it partially in. I've tried it a half-dozen times with three different phones, and for sure it works.
IMPORTANT: If you put the phone in the "main" pocket then it doesn't work and it's just a handy pouch. But if you slip the phone in the top part so that the phone is completely surrounded by the inner wrappings then it works like a charm. So it's really a dual-use pouch. If you don't want the signal blocked, slip it in the lower part. If you want the signal blocked, slip it in the upper part.

Bottomline: Works as it should. If you need to block the phone from being connected to a network this is a cheap way of doing it.
