The latest breaking news from the FCC is that they are investigating Apple and Samsung for violating Radio Frequency (RF) radiation limits emitted by their cell phones. This is in response to an internal study by the Chicago Tribune that showed RF emissions as much as 5 times the limits set by the US government -- limits that have already been criticized for being outdated (established in the 90's) and overly lenient. A related lawsuit has also been filed against Apple and Samsung.
In addition, new research from the National Toxicology Program (NTP, a division of the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)) revolves around a common and seemingly non-threatening item, the cell phone.
However, the results are in.... Cell phone radiation does, indeed, have adverse health effects. Ranking as one of the most comprehensive assessments to date; the 25-million-dollar, ten-year government study determined the effects in rats and mice from exposure to radio-frequency (RF) radiation from cell phones. Researchers found increased rates of cancer in male rats exposed to cell phone radiation.

All of your personal electronic devices (laptops, cell phones, tablets etc.) emit Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR), or Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) that are comprised of Extremely Low Frequencies (ELF), Radio Frequencies (RF, Wi-fi, data etc.) and Thermal Radiation (heat), all of which are potentially harmful. Gamma Rays, X-Rays and UV are also types of EMR.
EMR has a high decay rate which means that most of the exposure is felt within a few inches and especially with direct contact. EMR can penetrate most natural and man made materials including wood, plastic, pillows, blankets, clothes etc.
How YOU can start protecting yourself RIGHT NOW
- Keep your phone and other devices on airplane mode
- Use your speaker phone and avoid direct contact to skin
- Keep phones out of pockets and clothing as much as possible
- Have children especially refrain from extended electronic use
- Use a corded phone when accessible
- Avoid using your laptop or tablet on your lap
Seem Impractical? Well, There is Another Way...
- Position the shielded area of your SafeSleeve case between your electronic device (cell phone, tablet, laptop etc.) and your body to deflect radiation.
- For your phone close the radiation shielding front flap to take a phone call and speak as you normally would.
- When storing in your pocket, face the front flap towards your body to deflect the radiation away.
Unlike most other products, it blocks multiple types of radiation from your electronics: over 99% of Radio Frequencies (RF), over 92% of Extremely Low Frequencies (ELF), and Thermal (heat).
"As an engineer, it feels good using a product that I know actually works. The case is well made and of quality products."

"I've had my case for about a week and it's exactly what I was looking for. It's very easy to answer phone and talk through the case and I feel protected. The fact that I can carry my debit card is a huge plus for me. It's just great and my phone is always protected as well."
