Radiation-Blocking Cell Phone Cases

It’s smart to try to block EMF radiation, and cell phones are one of the major culprits. What if there were a way to help? One item is with radiation-blocking cell phone cases. But, do they work? And if so, how do they work?

What Are Radiation-Blocking Cell Phone Cases?

Radiation-blocking cell phone cases claim to block EMF radiation. These are special cases that use shielding, absorbing, reflecting and/or signal-interfering material. This is meant to protect you from the radiation coming from your cell phone.

Do They Work?

Here’s the problem with claims that these work. For a case to block the radiation, it would have to cover the entire phone. For example, a Faraday material case would work. The problem is that your phone cannot get a signal through this material.

When using other materials, they may work on the back of your phone. But what about the front and sides? These are areas still exposed and still radiating radiation. They may block some, but they’re not going to block it all.

Now, you could theoretically keep your phone in a Faraday case at night when you’re not using the phone if you’re worried. But for day-to-day use, it’s not going to work.

In fact, independent studies have shown that while these non-Faraday cases may stop some of the radiation through the back, and sides are exposed. And in some cases, the measures of EMF radiation were actually higher than normal.

Even the Federal Trade Commission issued warnings about radiation-blocking cell phone case scams. FTC Cellphone Shield SCAM and the FCC Cellphone Shield SCAM are two known warnings.

So, What Can You Do?

According to EMF Expert, Michael Neuert EMF Engineer and owner of Neuert Electromagnetic Service:

If a person must use a cell phone, I recommend that people use the phone on speaker mode, with the phone located as far away from their body as possible.

And if using speakerphone mode is not a good option, then another good option I would recommend is to use an air tube type of headset, allowing the cell phone itself to be placed as far away from the body as possible.

It’s important to keep your cell phone away from your immediate vicinity when possible. And this is the best way to protect yourself better from EMF radiation from cell phones.
