WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?

GPS

Even on airplane mode, it is still possible to track the phone´s location. The GPS remains on!
That happens because the GPS antenna only receives information and the airplane mode prevents the signals that are out-going, which are the ones that could interfere with the airplanes telecommunication system. Our sleeves block all signals!

The three smurfs

Dreamy Smurf is a program that allows its user to activate someone's phone when it is ‘apparently’ turned off. Nosey Smurf is a “hot mic” feature that accesses the inbuilt microphone to listen in to conversations going on nearby. Finally, Tracker Smurf can track your location, and other accompanying tools can retrieve messages, e-mails, web history, call records, videos, address book, notes, calendar from your phone.

IT IS NOT A MYTH.

A radiation warning exists in every smartphone user manual. You can find it in your settings, for iPhones, it is under General>About>Legal>RF exposure. It states that you should carry your phone with at least 5 -10mm separation from your body depending on the model.

The evidence is growing and shows that phone radiation – even at low levels - harms our health. It can lead to health issues such as infertility, cancer, or sleep disorders.

Behaviour design

It is the science behind the apps to increase the amount of time we are interacting with the screen. Little rewards such as likes, smiles, and updates are continuously feeding our brain. That way we feel the need to be constantly checking our phones. It often happens unconsciously.

Our ability to accomplish tasks

Studies have shown that the mere presence of a smartphone in a room affects the cognitive capacity of a person while solving tasks. Putting the phone inside the sleeve, the screen is out of your sight and helps to reduce unnecessary use.
