Cell Phone Signal Blocker Pouch

Pros:

It works just as it says it does.
It is light and can fit in most bags easily.
The case can be used for other things, like glasses or small trinkets.

Cons:

2 Pockets! No mention of this, was completely off-guard, I noticed only the first big pocket (not the correct one) and eventually due to the posts, found the second, smaller, silver lined pouch.

Other Thoughts:

If you're paranoid about your partner/boss/government/aliens trying to track you, this is a must.

Bottomline:

Get it, cuz you never know.

Pros:

Works very good.
I try with my Nokia 5800, also my Daughter Blackberry 9800 and works in both cases.
A wonderfull bag.
In the future I will not need to close my phone when I need silence without touch the smartphone.
I be very happy in buy this.

Cons:

Nothing to said.
Only I said that it will be better if this be a little more bigger, for my nokia. But I have not problems in put inside my telephone Nokia in the bag.
The same with the blackberry.

Other Thoughts:

If you need something to "silence" the phone without close it, remember to buy and put inside yout phone in this puch.
The signal will really blocket.

Bottomline:

In my country I dont find a similar product.
Cheap to pay.

Pros:

Works great. I put my Nokia (the best network-catcher I have) in the silver pouch, & it lost network.

Cons:

Built quality is average.
It seems that the "scratch" is more solid than the pouch.
The pouch itself smells slightly when receiving it ; I hope it will disappear soon.

Other Thoughts:

I hope the silver stuff will last long enough and that the pouche won't disintegrate too soon when opening it.
I'll mainly use it to protect me from my phone irradiating to me.

Bottomline:

Great item for the price. In France, similar items can be found for about $40!

Pros:

This little thing makes a Faraday cage around your phone.
Works great. I used this when my employer was using GPS tracking on their (provided) cell phones during lunch or whenever I had time off.
The particular tracking system my employer used would also report whenever a device was turned off, so that wasn't really an option.
The pouch worked great. Calls were eliminated, the tracking system lost its mind as anticipated, and battery life on my Motorola phone actually increased when using this pouch in near-zero coverage areas.
Construction, material, and build-quality is good. It is reasonably durable.
Also: There are two pouches inside; one RF shielded, one not. This allows you to use it as a day-to-day case for a phone, while slipping it into the shielded pocket for protection.

Cons:

None.

Other Thoughts:

If my employer were still utilizing tracking, I'd still be utilizing this case.

Bottomline:

If you have a reason to avoid being tracked, without indicating that you've intentionally taken steps to do so, this is the widget that does it.

Pros:

Can block the signal so that you don't receive any calls while the people trying to call you will think you are out of range, has got two pockets . one for signal blocking one for normal use. Available in black :)

Cons:

No real cons in this pouch. unless u call being a little big for my call a con. The price could be a little lower too but its quite ok .
As i said no real cons for this item.

Bottomline:

Great product .does what it advertises . good to avoid those calls from when ur out vacationing . buy one if u need the excuse of saying that you were out of range.

Pros:

-Works as described
-iPhone 3gs lost signal within seconds
-also tested an iPhone 3g and it lost signal fast too
-Its perfect size for most smart phones
-build quality seems solid
-great price and kinda cool to have
-good conversation piece

Cons:

-Maybe too small for the gigantic phones like the Droid X and Evo 4g but besides that not many cons
-different colors would be cool
-tw pockets and doesnt tell which to put it in(put it in the back one) for it to work right

Other Thoughts:

Its fun

Bottomline:

It's fun, cheap, works well and cool. Buy it. buy a few for your friends or just mess with your friends with it. great product.

Pros:

Bought one for my dad which is always talking in the phone at home. We said he had to put his Iphone in that pouch when he was at home, and it works perfectly!
If you put any type of phone in it the signal is gone after a few seconds, works like intended, not much more to say.

Cons:

There are no cons at the price, but to be picky i would say that the imitation leather has a bit of a plasticky feeling, a bit to stiff. Have seen better imitations, but for the price...

Other Thoughts:

The size of the pouch is a bit bigger then needed, seemes a bit overkill when you have your small phone in it. On the other hand, any phone will fit, from the smallest samsungs to iphone or blackberry.

Bottomline:

Nothing to pick on due to the pricing, fun gadget.

Pros:

nice good built and doesnt smell bad
pekne vypadjici, z kvalitnich materialu a nesmrdi

Cons:

firstly, it´s little small, not enough for blackberry
secondly, it mabye works in USA or China, but in Czech Republic on dual band not, so if you live in country with dual band, it´s just nice pocket
zaprve, je pomerne male, nevhodne pro blackberry
zadruhe nefunguje v ceske republice na dual bandu, takze pro nas cechy je to jen hezke pouzdro

Bottomline:

mabye good in US, but in Cz it´s useless
mozna dobre v USA ale v CR je to zbytecnost

Pros:

Inexpensive (not cheap), works just like it says. If you need to be unreachable for a short time this is the item to make it happen.

Cons:

There is no major cons. One minor one is if you haven't read the reviews, you might not use it correctly. The phone MUST be in the inside pocket and it is not very obvious. Maybe a slip of cardboard to point out where to put the phone would be a good idea.

Other Thoughts:

This is exactly what I expected it to be when I ordered.

Bottomline:

If you need to be unreachable for a short time this is the item to make it happen. I'm able to give all my attention to the task at hand without interruption. I highly recommend buying this item.

Pros:

- The experience - tt does what it's supposed to!
- It's unique, I have never seen one before
- It's simple, just put your phone in, and the material will block all signals
- The price is okay

Cons:

- Mine had a strong industrial smell
- Two pockets - what's the deal with that?
- Not really the most useful thing to have, it's just the same as turning the phone off (with battery consumption!)

Other Thoughts:

Could the phone be more easily seen, say, through an invisible "window"?

Bottomline:

This little gadget is what makes DX so awesome. Something cool nobody else has.

Pros:

This item seems well made and it's simple and nice looking.

Cons:

Sadly, it does not block DoCoMo or AU phone service lines. This is unfortunate for me, as I live in Japan and this is where I need it to work!
8-(
I also noticed that the pouch could be a little wider in order to accommodate the size of a Blackberry phone.

Other Thoughts:

This review is only to help out Japan customers. Based on other reviews, it works as promised in other locations.

Bottomline:

Nice but useless if you live in Japan.
-----------
Review update (does work in Japan) - see http://www.dealextreme.com/forums/Forums.dx/Forum.-100~threadid.624728

Pros:

Does it job great
Fits my blackberry Curve and Iphone (Did not have any Iphone to test but I manage to put Otterbox Defender Iphone case inside which is bigger than the Iphone itself)

Cons:

There are two sleeves inside because they did not attach the foil sleeve on the front with the outer layer (like they did on the back) so you must be careful where you put your phone because if you put it in front pocket it will not block the signal.

Bottomline:

Like I said if you put your phone right it does it job but if you put it wrongly you could be in trouble when your boss calls you and you are with his wife :)

Pros:

Works great with a huge variety of phones.
just put your phone in, and it instantly looses the signal.

Cons:

Large phones like my Nokia communicator ( 9-series ) wont fit into the pouch!
Since your phone has no signal, your phone will use more battery life to try to retrieve a signal.

Other Thoughts:

Could have range of colours.
Maybe a range of styles

Bottomline:

Very easy to use - just put your phone in, and it instantly looses the signal!
It will also block phones blue-tooth and wifi signals, because it makes a Faraday cage around your cellphone!

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"

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".

Pros:

Its large enough to hold a large cell phones, Like that Blackberry Storm



.

Cons:

It dosnt do anything!
I bought it, tried sticking 2 diffrent cell phones in it, and it just didnt work!
I stuck 2 diffrent phones, one iDen and one BlackBerry Storm,
Both got high signal level while inside the pouch
maybe my units defective, but it really dosnt do what it said it does.
no clue whats wrong and what can i do about it.

Bottomline:

If you want a cell phone ugly pouch, then its good
but it dosnt block the signal!

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

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.

Pros:

Great product. I was wondering if it realy works before I've purchased. Now I'm using it when i don't want any phone call :)
I don't have to close and open my phone again. When i take my phone out the pouch, it continues to work.

Cons:

No Cons.
Great Gadget.
I can't tell anything wrong about this product!...........

Other Thoughts:

This gadget at this price. Unbeliviable :)
If you need something like this you have to buy right now ;)

Bottomline:

what more could you want from this pouch?
If you need something like this you have to buy right now ;)

Pros:

Great price! Great build quality! Great job! When you put your phone in it and somebody try to call you it operator say that your phone is out of range - NOT swithed off! Great gadget to hide from nasty boss. Sorry, boss , I don't recieve your call maybe the GSM provider do something with the network in that time :)

Cons:

No considerations! Do everithing that it is expected to do with no exeptions.

Other Thoughts:

I'm not sure that it works with all the cell phones but I use ot with nokia 6230 & 5300 with great effect.

Bottomline:

Don't wait buy it. Great job low price.

Pros:

It's a great low cost device you never even knew that you needed. Is this thing ever cool. It has two pockets, the all gold one kills signal, and battery (see below). The front one is just a nice way to hold your cell, no signal killing here. Tested with and fits various flip phones, the iPhone, some Blackberry's....yeah, EVERYONE around wanted to try it, and they all wanted to try it with their own phone.

Cons:

Alright, so this is fun. The 'signal blocking' part of the pouch works by making it so the signal doesn't have enought power to get out. Apparently, when my phone can't aquire a signal, it just keeps pumping more power to try again. After about 10 hours in the gold pouch I have no life. Regardless of the charge it started with.

Other Thoughts:

For a meeting, a movie, or the dreaded Church, this pouch will offer the needed privacy without needing to go so far as to turn the phone or ringer off. I know that seems easier, and it probably is...alright, I bought it not you. I like it!!!

Bottomline:

A nifty little gadget that basically replaces turning the ringer, or the whole phone off. Writing the review, I'm not sure why I enjoy switching pouches more than playing with the volume or power, I just do. It's the neat factor that really makes this a fun gadget necessity.

Pros:

I confess that was suspicious, but it really works. The product has a good finish and seems resistant. Have I left with him in the rain and he has not come easily water. My cell - an N73 - was well within it. I am satisfied.

Cons:

I did a test with 2 smartphones and they were "compresseds".

Other Thoughts:

Thanks to the testimony I discovered how to use... It would be interesting if there were other options for this product sizes, for Palms and Smartphopnes ... Other colors of leather would also be interesting.

Bottomline:

Very useful when I go to the movies and also when I meetings.

Pros:

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.

Cons:

No cons at all

Other Thoughts:

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 (you'll see what I mean when you get it).

Bottomline:

Works great, super cheap, what more could you want?

Pros:

- good quality, even if it's just synthetic material
- works exactly as described
- cheap, even if you will not use it often

Cons:

- could be too small for larger phone/GPS
- smells of synthetic plastic. Initially very strong, it got weaker after keeping it on air for some time

Other Thoughts:

Size is 14x9cm external, 12x8cm internal.
Pouch is flat, if you insert something it will take away from width.
There are two pockets: the one closer to front is NOT shielded, the one at the back (with a flap over) is shielded. Do not make mistake of putting phone in first pocket and thinking that pouch doesn't block it ;-)
Calling phone in the pouch gives caller "Subscriber is temporarily unavailable" message, as if he were in a "hole" without coverage. This is different from message you get when you switch phone off, because it doesn' signal your provider that it was switched off.
Usage?
If someone calls you, you don't want to talk and you are not brave to tell it to the other person - just slip phone inside pouch and later say that you must have gotten out of coverage ;-)

Bottomline:

Get it!

Pros:

Really blocks out signal without having to switch off your mobile phones.
Has 2 pockets; inner one to block signal, outer to keep other stuff.
Can keep 2 mobile phones as I previously imagined; very tightly though.

Cons:

The message given by my telco is the same when my mobile phone is switched off.
Does not help if I need it for 'maybe there was no signal' situations but that's because of my telco

Other Thoughts:

Although I get the same voice message as when my mobile phone is switched off, I think it will help when I need the phone to be on standby but have to 'switch off'.
Should provide measurements so customers can see if their pdas fit. My HTC Touch fits in but very tightly

Bottomline:

useful if your telco provides different messages and if you need your mobile phones on standby yet cannot be 'switched on'

Pros:

Its like a black Hole for any kind Handphone. If you put the handphone inside the pouch then will be blank spot of the signal. You can use this pouch as a normal pouch. There is two pocket inside the pouch for normal and for blank spot.

Cons:

great build leather. looks like expensive. I was bought just for fun. Magic trick for my friend. You said you can kill the signal with your mind. This is cheap more than jammer signal blocker.

Bottomline:

If you mad with your girlfriend then this pouch will be usefull... :)
