Ska Direct® 100% Anti-Tracking Anti-Spying GPS RFID Signal Blocker Pouch Case Bag Handset Function Bag for Cell Phone Privacy Protection and Car Key FOB - (Black)

That is what my mother said when her phone, inside the Ska Direct Cell Phone Protective Bag, rang after she called it from a land line. My mother grew up bf our world was digitized and is not technologically savvy, if you will. I had to laugh through my initial disappointment because she immediately believed she must be to blame as her Samsung S4 rang and vibrated from inside the bag. But, upon further inspection, yes, Mom, actually you did do something wrong. She'd put the phone on the front side of the divider. This is extremely important as it's the difference bw ring/no-ring, tracked/not tracked, 1-star/5-stars, etc. But, I got ahead of myself. Take a trip back in time with me, if you don't mind. Let's start with concerns. That's right, concerns...I'd become convinced that I have a softball sized tumor in my brain because of the invisible electronic waves my phone (read: govt tracking device) and numerous other electronic devices pulse through my dome. Maybe not that large - or a tumor at all but I can't confirm bc my $300 per month "gold plan" Obama Care would likely laugh at an MRI coverage request like they have all my prior ones - but the fact is that we don't know. We just don't know about the health effects of all the radio signals flowing thru our all too often obese bodies. "They (meaning good ole uncle sam) would never allow technology like this to be sold if it were harmful." To that naive view, I say, we'll see. Or, "How about a nice diet beverage?" A little aspartame, anyone, hmmm? I think I made my point, did I not? If you said "no" quit reading and do not buy this product. It's worthless to you unless you want a nice wallet style case (and it is nice in that regard especially considering the price). Rather, if you said, "I think you might be onto something" (I don't demand an outright "yes" - who wants a bunch of lemmings) then please, read on.My recent research about the health issues now associated with radio waves and "dirty electricity" was a wake-up call. I read a cheap (as in inexpensive not cheap as in Made in China ... which this 5-star product is, but let's not get bogged down in semantics, okay) kindle pamphlet so I won't go all expert on you (nor did I sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night). It is a serious topic and we are all at risk. Particularly children stand to suffer the most long term effects as they have yet to fully form and have been subjected to it from birth. Kiddos are saturated with wifi all day at school and likely all night at home, mbl phones in a pocket or backpack (and dozens more owned by classmates), bluetooth coming laptops, phones, headphones - it's an epidemic!Okay, so that's the health side. You may not believe the health issues will play out. Fair enough, Donald Rumsfeld, didn't I ask your type to quit reading? Just kidding, that's a terrible thing to call someone, I know. (As ole Ronny Dumsfeld was the big "aspartame is great" proponent in the 90's, it was just too tempting - isn't it interesting that bw his gigs lying to us from DC he got a gig lying to congress in DC as a lobbyist?) Again, I digress into seriousness, but only briefly: I feel it to be a worthwhile pursuit (in a world so demanding of our time) to spend a few minutes educating yourself about the health hazards I've touched on. A bluetooth mouse/keybd/headset, cordless land line phones, wifi, laptops and mbl phones emitting most of the above and even household appliances now in on it. It's much too much a part of our lives to not be as fully informed as practicable and Kindle has a wide, inexpensive selection of quick-read titles on the subject. Okay, the lecture is over for now.The other benefit is the one most people want to avail themselves: the desire to eliminate all signals emanating from the device thus disallowing any tracking of said device. Personally, I don't like carrying a tracking device with me at all times, but I am nutty that way (but only that way). If you just thought "If you aren't doing anything wrong, what do you care who can track you?" - I thought I told you to quit reading? Seriously, in case you missed it the "war on terror" has shifted its focus to the cyber world (so start a business and lobby govt contracts - no experience necessary per the post-911 boom precedent - yeah, I am back on the soapbox). Anything I can do to make myself less visible is a good thing.So, I determined a Faraday cage type bag for at least the mbl phone to be a must-have items for myself and loved-ones. This fills that need without costing a lot. And, as mentioned, it is a nice quality for a case. We've come so far together. We've waded through health issues and govt (or the unmentioned psycho ex-boyfriend/girlfriend etc) tracking, but there is something else we need to talk about. I always read reviews. I find them very helpful though sometimes quite bizarre (you just thought, "my thoughts exactly"), I appreciate them. Now, however, it is more difficult to see the real reviews from the "I received the product for an unbiased review" (usually stated at the end as a "gotcha" to the reader). I should have known marketers would find out a way to compromise such a useful and usually truthful system. My reading of the reviews for this product led me to believe this bag was the real deal. I'd like to thank Ska Direct for not polluting the review waters with 5-star reviews provided by prostitutes - I mean, reviewers - who got a free bag outta the deal.I am gonna buy more. This expression came to mind: If something seems to be too good to be true, it usually is. Well, and not for the first time, Amazon (combined with slave labor) disproves that rule of thumb.

This works exactly as advertised and has proven quite durable. I'm not using it for a cell phone, though pretty much any recent cell phone would fit, but rather as protection for Passive Keyless Entry and Start (PKES) car transmitters. (Frankly, I'm not really sure why the average person would want to use it for a cell phone, as opposed to just turning the phone off, unless you're really, really paranoid. Cutting off the radio signal from a powered-up cell phone will cause it to crank up its own power output searching for a cell tower, resulting in dead batteries pretty quickly!)In the last year, most PKES systems have been shown to have a critical flaw that's led to a rash of thefts from locked vehicles. In most of today's PKES systems, the transmitter in the "key" is actually quite powerful-- so that the remote control features of the key (door unlock, horn, remote start) can work from a substantial distance. The transmitter in the vehicle, which activates when you press a switch on the door handle, is very weak-- so that the key has to be very close (about a meter) to the door before it'll unlock.Thieves figured out pretty quickly that a portable radio amplifier will boost the car's signal, fooling the car into thinking that the key is much closer than it really is. If your car is in the driveway, and your keys are inside your residence or workplace, they just need to walk up to your car with an small circuit board in their pocket, pull the handle, and the door unlocks. Not many cars have been stolen this way but anything you've left inside the car is "easy pickin's". Cell phone chargers and cables have been a favorite target.This bag blocks the radio signal to/from the key perfectly. Place the keys in the bag and fold the top, and you can stand right up against the car and it won't unlock. And this bag is large enough to hold all the PKES transmitters a typical household is likely to have. Until auto manufacturers fix this situation, it's a good and inexpensive workaround.

5 starts. It was great
