Aram Bartholl of Germany has created silver and copper pouches that prevents a mobile user to being located or having his movements followed.
Mobile phone pouch Silver
Mobile phone pouch Copper
The mobile phone pouches "Silver" and "Copper" act as Faraday cages, completely shielding the phone and preventing it from sending or receiving signals.The material used, a flat silver-plated polyamide fabric, remains transparent. The copper fabric however has the qualities of a solid paper.Without the knowledge of most users, portable phones send location-related data to the service provider. The pouch prevents the user being located or having their movements followed. Even turning off the phone cannot always guarantee this. In the possession of this personal radio blocker, a mobile phone owner can decide whether they would like to be in a spatial data model or not.A simple piece of fabric in the form of a pouch turns off a highly intergrated and technically complex appliance.The constant space-related data exchange becomes identifiable by being interrupted.

isnt this useless?
there was a line in the quote above that even turning the phone off cannot gaurantee you not being tracked. thats got to be rubbish surely? im no expert but i would think once the phone is turned off the network can only tell your location when the phone was switched off.
if thats the case then this pouch is nothing more than a glorified carry case! |

Lol! I challenge you to find a retail phone that is not off when you turn it off.

Wasn't there this Siemens mobile a few years back that could be used as an espionage device? You could plant it somewhere and call it from a different location, and it would turn itself on without ringing and only activate its mic so you could hear what was going on in the room. But i guess that would mean it wasn't off, it just pretended to be. Dorment until awoken. Hehe.
Silly concept.

Well I can say I've tried this case and it don't work, nice try for the sales team, but under real life it is not all up to the specifics as it says. |

Turn the phone off and take the battery out. Would like to see how it can be in "sleep" then.
Or, since putting it in this bag would stop it getting a signal just don't bother carrying a phone!
