How to Tell if Your Faraday Product is Actually Working

Man slipping his phone into a Faraday Phone Sleeve

Imagine buying a raincoat that soaks through at the first drizzle. Plenty of “signal-blocking” products looks ready for a storm until the moment you actually need it. Real protection isn’t about appearances. It’s about performance under pressure.

The Risk is Real

Your phone, laptop, and key fobs are broadcasting constantly. That means hackers, thieves, and data harvesters have endless opportunities to intercept signals, clone access, or track your location. It’s not paranoia, it’s physics. Once a signal is out, it’s out. And if your Faraday product isn’t truly working, you’re giving away your data and security every time you carry your devices.

Why a Physical Solution Matters

Digital “fixes” like VPNs and software blockers can only go so far. They don’t stop the signal itself, they just try to disguise it. A genuine Faraday bag does something much simpler and more powerful: it creates a physical barrier that cuts your device off from the outside world. No signal in, no signal out. That’s protection you can trust, no software update required.

Everyday Scenarios Where it Counts

  • Travel: Toss your passport into a Faraday bag to block RFID skimmers at airports.

  • Commute: Shield your carkey fob from thieves who use signal boosters to unlock vehicles remotely.

  • Business: Keep confidential data safe by isolating devices when not in use.

  • Everyday Privacy: Drop your smartphone in and instantly stop being a target for location tracking and remote tampering.

How to Test Yours

A workingFaraday product should blockall signals: cellular, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, RFID. The easiest test? Place your phone in the bag, seal it, and try to call it. If it rings, your bag isn’t doing its job. If you can still unlock your car with a key fob in the bag, the protection isn’t real. Simple as that.
