How Should I Store my Phone When Using the SYB Phone Pouch?Updated 7 days ago

To maximize protection from EMF radiation while maintaining full device functionality, the SYB Phone Pouch should be used correctly based on its one-sided shielding design.


How the SYB Phone Pouch Works

The SYB Phone Pouch features EMF shielding material on only one side—the side that faces your body. This reflects radiation away from your body while allowing your phone to stay connected to the network (cell, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) through the unshielded side.


Correct Way to Store Your Phone

1. Place the Phone Inside Normally

  • Slide your phone into the pouch so the screen faces outward and the back of the phone (where most radiation is emitted) faces the shielded side.

2. Position the Shielded Side Toward Your Body

  • Whether in your pocket, bag, or belt clip, the shielded side of the pouch should always face your body.

  • This directs the radiation away from you, reducing your personal exposure by up to 99%.

3. Don’t Use It as a Full Faraday Bag

  • The pouch is not meant to block all signals—doing so would interfere with your phone’s function.

  • Keep the unshielded side exposed to ensure your phone can still make calls, receive texts, and access data.

4. Optional: Airplane Mode for Extra Protection

  • If you don’t need connectivity (e.g., during sleep or long flights), placing your phone in airplane mode while inside the pouch offers maximum protection.


Situations Where the Pouch Works Best

  • In your pants or jacket pocket

  • Attached to your belt or waistband

  • Inside a handbag or backpack, positioned with the shielded side against your body
