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.

Pros: Very easy to use - just put your phone in, and it instantly looses the signal!
It will also block phones bluetooth and wifi signals, because it makes a Faraday cage around your cellphone!
 
Cons: It could have been built a bit softer.
I think it could probably break after some months of use!
I think, large phones like the Nokia communicator wont fit into the pouch!
 
Other Thoughts: Great if you want to prevent someone from tracking your phone's location or if you just want to have your silence!
 
Bottomline: Cheap, works great - if you want it to have, buy it!

Pros: - Fits most phones

- Blocks signal(s) to the cell phone.

Not sure if it blocks blue tooth signal.

- Easy to use, like plug and play

- Cheap, cheap and cheap

- Made of "OK" quality

- Looks like a normal leather pouch, no one will ever suspect.

Cons: - The pouch is little bit stiff after a while

Other Thoughts: Could be in different colors or shapes.

The pouch could be made of softer material too.

Bottomline: Useful if you know how to use it.

Instead of turn of your phone, you are now just "unavailable" or "cannot be reached at the moment"

Great, Simple and Effective

Pros: Easy to use. 

Works great with a huge variety of phones.

Blocks signal brilliantly, even in high fq areas.

Cons: Few times, the pouches have been poorly made.

Some mobiles dont work. 

Some PDA with mobile wont fit.

Other Thoughts: Could have range of colours.

Maybe a range of styles

Bottomline: Great price, work good (most of the time).

Most of the time they are made great, just a few times they have has rips and marks.

Nice size, but not all mobile fit in properly

These are a must buy,if you want a bit of quite time without the hassle of being asked why was your phone off

Pros: This nice looking pouch has quality look and feel and good size to fit most phones or mp3 players plus some small accessory (memory cards, ear buds, and etc.)
It has two sections. If you put your phone into the outer section, it works as usually. So you can use the pouch for your phone all the time, not just when you need to block it. There's also another (inner) pocket made of gray cloth which is electromagnetically shielded. If you put your phone there, its radio signal is blocked and it goes away from cell network just like if you went into a metal garage, metro, and etc. making you a good excuse for not being available via phone :)
You can also put there an mp3 player if it's prone to catching noise caused by nearby cell phones.
 
Cons: None.
 
Other Thoughts: After putting your phone into the gray pocket, wait for a few seconds and try to switch the phone through the pouch, without taking it out. Without that the phone will be trying to reach to cell network using its full power in vain and will drain its battery pretty quickly.
 
Bottomline: Buy one, even if "just in case".

Specifications
