Question

Safesleeve

Jan 20, 2015 10:27AM PST

Has anyone used or tested a Safesleeve case on their cell phone or laptop?

It appears to be a good product however I have been unable to find any certified testing data.

That an electric oven can emit that much or more than a laptop. These folk prey of those that believe.

Why don't people do their own research?

ROTFL A little common sense is in order here. The LCD display isn't covered, and that's where you would also receive EM- from the laptop LCD screen.

Cell phone radiation
Jan 21, 2015 1:57AM PST

I realize wifi and cell signals are everywhere, however even apple fine print states there should be distance between your phone and your body. Many leading engineers in the RF field recommend that you never hold a cell phone to your head.
You cannot do without the technology or escape the RF signals but I think you should take some basic precautions to protect yourself as much as possible.

All of the affects, if any, will not be apparent until 20 years or so have passed. Certainly obvious at this point that smoking causes real health risks and might be thinking the same thing about RF waves in 20 years or so.

Yes, there is no escaping it since it is in the atmosphere but we do have some very minor controls as individuals.

So why not use wired headphones.

Oh, wait, that emits EMI. Maybe for those that feel like this, they need to turn it all off and more?

The question was intended for users who have used or researched Safesleeve, not opinions on the possible hazzars from cell phone use.

A few of my prior jobs

Was making shielded chambers for testing RF gear. It's without a doubt that any sleeve that lets the phone work with cellular is a sham. You're being ripped off. But hey, if that makes you feel better, that is, a placebo can work on some folk.

Think about this a little harder
Jan 21, 2015 9:05AM PST

How could anyone possibly have 'researched' a new product enough to go against the current data concerning safe radiation levels?

Let's get down to the brass tacks, eh?
Jan 21, 2015 9:04AM PST

What the product claims to do it cannot, even based on arguably 'anecdotal' banter here. You make a lot of assumptions, and have little data to back it up.

The RF engineers @ Apple have mostly been persuaded to make those statements because of the litigious nature of our society, in order to cover their company's posterior region.

Your paragaph #2 seems to assert that you have some definite proof that the current amount of radiation emitted by cellular phones necessarily requires more control to protect ourselves? Why isn't it therefore as obvious to you that the product simply cannot work as described? Please be verbose.

ROFL!

Yep, or can go around using galvanizing spray all over the inside or outside of the home, or the paranoid route of doing both, then painting over it to hide it, and put that metal roof on. Of course then they need to ground it all out and worry about lightning every time a storm comes up. Don't forget the windows, need to put those metallicized films on all of them too, but what fun when you realize your cellphone service is no longer reachable.
