When Should You Use Faraday Sleeves And When You Shouldn’t
Your phone lights up. Not because you touched it but because the world did. Apps refresh in the background, networks reach out, advertisers listen in.
Every ping, every update, every invisible handshake builds a live map of your life: where you are, who you meet, what you do.
Most people never notice it. But once you do, it’s impossible to ignore. That’s the moment you realize privacy isn’t something you have, it’s something you claim back.
That’s whereFaraday sleeves come in. They’re not for hiding. They’re for choosing, because control over your signals means control over your story.
What a Faraday Sleeve Actually Does
A Faraday sleeve doesn’t mute your phone, it cuts it off completely.
It blocks every frequency — cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, RFID, NFC — creating a physical barrier that no app or software setting can imitate.
No tracking. No hacking. No leaks.
It’s the difference between asking your device to disconnect and making it physically unable to.
It’s not digital security. It’s signal silence.
When You Should Use One
1. While Traveling
Airports, hotels, rideshares, these are signal-dense environments built on surveillance.
Whether you’re crossing borders or charging your phone at a public kiosk, every connection is a potential risk.
Slip your phone or passport into an SLNT® Faraday sleeve and the link is severed instantly.
No more passive data trails. Just you, moving freely.
2. When Going Off the Grid
Airplane Mode is software trust. A Faraday sleeve is physical truth. For moments when you need complete silence, whether you’re on a hike, at a retreat, or taking a few hours to disconnect, it guarantees no notifications, no pings, and no background noise.
Perfect for a digital detox that actually works.
3. During Private Meetings
Phones don’t need to record to compromise privacy, their signals alone can expose you.
Whether you’re a journalist protecting sources, an executive discussing confidential plans, or a creator safeguarding your next idea, keeping devices inside a Faraday sleeve stops all wireless transmissions.
No signals. No leaks. Just focus.
4. When Storing or Transporting Devices
Even powered off, devices can still transmit or be probed remotely. A Faraday sleeve keeps phones, key fobs, and drives secure from cloning, tracking, or tampering. If it’s sensitive enough to encrypt, it’s important enough to isolate.
When You Shouldn’t Use One
A Faraday sleeve is powerful but total silence has its time and place.
If you’re waiting for a call, using GPS, or relying on real-time updates, this isn’t it.
Think of it like blackout curtains: perfect when you need darkness, frustrating when you need light.
Use it intentionally.
Control isn’t about disconnecting forever. It’s about being in charge of when you connect.
Everyday Power. Zero Noise
Faraday gear isn’t about fear, it’s aboutfreedom. It gives you control over your digital boundaries. When to engage. When to go dark. When to move unseen.
AtSLNT, we design Faraday solutions for modern life; sleek, durable, and built for the people who refuse to be tracked.
Because privacy isn’t a luxury anymore. It’s power.
SLNT. Silence the chaos.
