Why a laptop should be shielded in transit
A laptop in sleep mode is not offline. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules stay active, scanning for known networks and broadcasting identifiers as they do. Some machines wake on their own in standby to fetch updates or sync.
In a hotel, in a coworking space or in transit, the device is therefore reachable for hours without you noticing. A Faraday sleeve stops that completely for as long as it is closed.
When it is worth it
Travel and border crossings. The device is completely cut off from radio traffic in transit.
Hotel rooms and coworking. A laptop left in a room stays reachable. Inside a closed sleeve it does not.
Confidential work. When a device demonstrably must not transmit, a power button you have to trust is not enough.
Choosing the right size
No Signal Sleeve XL. Full signal blocking for laptops up to 14 inches and for tablets. Blocks every radio connection when the sleeve is fully closed. DEKRA certified, tested to IEEE Std 299-2006.
Shield Laptop Sleeve. Shielding built into an everyday Dyneema laptop sleeve, made for daily transport.
Do not forget the camera
A laptop camera cannot be reliably disabled in software. A mechanical cover is the only measure that works independently of the operating system. See the webcam cover.
Other devices
For smartphones there are Faraday phone cases, and for Keyless-Go keys, Faraday pouches for car keys.
How the shielding works technically is explained under signal blocking and Faraday bags.
TOCA designs and produces signal-blocking sleeves and bags. DEKRA certified. Designed in Germany. Built for everyday use.
Faraday Shielding
Offline in transit.
A laptop in sleep mode stays reachable. Inside a fully closed Faraday case it does not.
