Ever wondered if radiation from your pocketed mobile phone is hurting your body? If the answer is yes than you’re like me. I think about this a lot. My phone is in my pocket pretty much wherever I go, for hours at a time. Even if it’s in your back pocket, how much better for you is this? What if I told you thanks to Kickstarter there is a company that’s making a mobile phone case that protects your body from cell phone radiation. The new gadget is called ‘Avias Radiation-shielded Leather Cell Phone Wallet Flip Case’ and it’s on Kickstarter:

This is one of those products that I think to myself, “Why didn’t I think of that?” In a way it’s common sense. Why wouldn’t a cell phone case protect the body from potentially harmful radiation? For the price of a fun night out, you get peace of mind about radiation, protection for your phone, and a stylish accessory to boot.

FYI: The side facing your body is shielded. If it was completely shielded you wouldn’t receive phone calls.

Why Should I Care?

“There is reason to be concerned about cell phone radiation and cancer. The World Health Organization calls it a Group 2B “possible carcinogen”. In May 2016, early results were released from a large rat study conducted by the US National Toxicology Program (NTP). The data showed an increased rate of certain brain and heart cancers in rats. Other studies have indicated cell phone radiation causes DNA damage. These troubling results inspired us at Avias to create a stylish leather phone case that could block RF radiation while being attractive and easy to use! The risks of cell phone radiation are still poorly understood. Why continue to expose yourself to radiation, when protection can be this easy, stylish and affordable?”

How The Technology Works

“Avias shielding technology works on the same basic principle as a Faraday Cage, using highly conductive materials to reflect radiative signals away from your body harmlessly. Our cases feature radiation shielding only in the front cover, which protects the user holding the phone to their ear, while still allowing the device to communicate. This means optimum convenience combined with shielding that’s backed by physics. Because this aspect of our product is so important, we’ve also conducted internal tests with cellular-frequency testing equipment to verify that the shielding is effective.”

What Else Do I Get? 

“The case doubles as a “pocket protector”: when the phone is in your pocket, simply ensure the shielded front side is facing inward, against your body. Head protection is the most essential (because of the greater potential for cancer), but we’re pleased to offer protection at all times the phone is against your body.”
