FAQ - Signal Blocking Faraday Bags
-
A Faraday bag works on a principle called Faraday cage blocking. This is how it works:
- Electromagnetic Fields: Devices including our phones and car keys, generates electromagnetic fields. These fields are invisible waves of energy that carry information. Cell phone signals, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth and radio waves are all examples of electromagnetic fields.
- Conductive Material: A Faraday bag is essentially a pouch made with a conductive metal mesh. This mesh acts like a cage for the electromagnetic fields.
- Field Disruption: When an electromagnetic field hits the conductive material of the bag, the electrons in the metal are forced to move around. This movement creates a current that opposes the original field. As a result, the electromagnetic field is canceled out inside the bag.
- Signal Blocking: Since phones rely on electromagnetic fields to communicate with cell towers and Wi-Fi networks,the Faraday bag disrupts these signals. This prevents your phone from sending or receiving signals, essentially creating a signal-blocking zone.
In simpler terms, the metal mesh acts like a shield, deflecting the electromagnetic waves away from your phone and preventing them from entering or exiting the bag. This protects your phone and car key signals effectively

A phone Faraday bag provides protection in several scenarios. Turning a phone off offers some privacy, but a phone Faraday bag creates a complete shield for your phone in various scenarios:
- Government Buildings and High-Security Locations. In certain government facilities or sensitive areas with strict data security protocols, a Faraday bag can ensure your phone doesn't accidentally transmit confidential information or interfere with sensitive equipment.
- Blocks Location Tracking. Many apps and services track your location through GPS or cell tower signals. A Faraday bag disrupts these signals, making it difficult for anyone to track your phone's location.
- Travel in High-Risk Areas. While traveling to countries with a higher risk of digital theft, a Faraday bag can offer peace of mind. Blocking data transmission makes it more difficult for criminals to remotely access your phone or steal information through malware or unauthorized apps.
- Mitigate Malware Risk: Some malware might still operate in the background on a powered-off phone.A Faraday bag completely blocks data transmission, preventing any potential leaks.
- Digital Detox: For those seeking a break from the constant connectivity and notifications, a Faraday bag can facilitate a true digital detox. By disconnecting your phone, you create a space for uninterrupted focus, relaxation, or improved sleep hygiene.

A car key signal blocker bag prevents car theft by blocking the radio waves emitted by key fobs, making it impossible for thieves to use a technique called a "relay attack." This is how it works:
Keyless Entry and Relay Attacks
- Modern cars often use keyless entry systems, where a key fob transmits a radio signal to unlock the car when you're nearby.
- Thieves can exploit this system with a relay attack. They use two devices; One intercepts the weak radio signal from your key fob near your house (often through windows or walls). The second device, placed near the car, amplifies the intercepted signal and transmits it to the car, tricking it into unlocking as if the key fob is right there.
Car Key Signal Blocker
- When you place your key fob inside the bag, the radio waves it transmits get disrupted.
- The electrons in the metal mesh move in response to the waves, creating a current that opposes the original signal.
- This opposing current weakens or cancels out the radio wave from the key fob inside the bag.
Essentially a Silent Zone for Your Key Fob
- With the signal blocked, the thief's device outside cannot receive or amplify the key fob's signal.
- The car's receiver never "hears" the signal, preventing it from recognizing the key and unlocking.
-
No, you cannot use the car key when the key is in the Faraday pouch. They are designed to provide maximum protection against signal cloning or interception in all scenarios, even when a scanner is nearby.
To use your car key, e.g. to open or start the car, simply remove the key from the pouch. The included keychain makes this easy while the key stays attached to the pouch.

Modern smartphones are not completely powered off when turned off. Some parts can still be operational even when they are off or in airplane mode. This is because they have a subsystem (the baseband) that controls radio functions (such as sending and receiving signals) and can work independently of the primary operating system.
Responsible for radio frequency (RF) communication, the baseband operates independently from the phone's main operating system to a significant degree. This architecture allows a seemingly "off" phone to maintain a powered and operational baseband.
Powering down a smartphone does not completely deactivate it. The baseband enters a low-power state while retaining receiving and transmitting capabilities. Apple's "Find My" application is an example of this concept. It leverages the baseband's continued operation in low-power mode to locate lost devices, even when powered down.In short, turning off your phone offers some privacy, but for complete security, use a phone signal blocking faraday bag.
Compact Solution
Our Faraday bags are the perfect size for a car key or phone, and while the main compartment effectively protects, the secondary pocket is great to carry house keys, coins or other items.
Premium Shielding Fabric
Our bags feature double shielding for maximum protection against hackers. The woven metal mesh construction provides an extra layer of security, protecting from unauthorised access.
Universal Compatibility
Our faraday bags are compatible with all mobile phones and car keys, so you can be sure that you will be protected from hackers and trackers.
