Designed to work as a Faraday cage, SLNT’s Faraday Phone Sleeve creates a barrier that traps your phone’s ability to communicate with the outside world. It’s akin to switching your phone off, but without the hassle. Pop it in and your device goes off the grid – no network, no signal, no WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, nothing. Why would you want such a pouch? Well, for privacy, of course.
Obviously the Faraday Phone Sleeve isn’t for everyone, but it’s the kind of pouch I’d definitely consider having. Your phone is quite literally an all-hearing device that indiscriminately shares information with your phone maker, service provider, the government, and all the apps that track you through your mic, your location, and your phone use. “By placing your phone or device inside, you can instantly disconnect from the grid, making yourself undetectable, untraceable, and unhackable,” says SLNT.
Designer: SLNT
Crafted with military-grade shielding technology, the sleeve blocks all incoming and outgoing signals – cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS. The engineering behind it draws from the same principles that protect government facilities, but SLNT has managed to compress this technology into something that slides effortlessly into a back pocket. The secret lies in SLNT’s patented Silent Pocket® faraday technology that works remarkably well. Put your phone in the pouch and close the magnetic flap and it’s practically off the grid. If you want connectivity, take the phone out. It’s that simple.
The pouch is a nifty EDC accessory that stores your phone along with perhaps a charging cable. It comes in 3 sizes, working with practically any smartphone. The Silent Pocket® tech relies on SLNT’s Multishield® fabric, which blocks any signal from passing through. It’s military-grade (it follows the MIL-STD certification) and comes in 4 classic color combinations.
To use the phone sleeve, simply slide your phone into the pouch, ensuring it sits below the metal ribs. Once that’s done, shut the magnetic flap and you’re done. The phone is officially untraceable, unhackable, and totally offline for all intents and purposes.
Why can’t I just use Airplane Mode instead, you’re probably asking. Well, Airplane Mode only shuts off the WiFi and Cellular modems. Your phone is much more connected beyond those two. It still uses GPS, Bluetooth, RFID, NFC, satellite connectivity, and most phones even have an FM chip for emergency broadcasts. Slipping your phone into the Faraday sleeve blocks those out too. It also shields your phone against EMPs, solar flares, static shocks, etc.
To be honest, the Faraday Phone Sleeve is an incredibly niche product – but it’s great for anyone who’s privacy-conscious. If you’re someone who doesn’t want your phone being tracked or hacked while it’s idle, just slide it into the pouch and you’re good to go. I just have two recommendations – for the love of god, don’t do anything illegal, and don’t lose your Faraday phone sleeve with the phone inside it – there’s no way you’re ever finding that device again!
