Your cell phone device has in-built antennas that enable it to communicate with cellular networks. These antennas emit a potentially harmful microwave frequency radiation that can be absorbed by the body. I don’t know about you, but I don’t feel 100% comfortable that it doesn’t cause health risks! And my daughter uses my phone often enough that I worry about what the radiation might be doing to her. Cell phone radiation protection is a concern for me.
For the last six months, I’ve been using a case made by Pong. It’s designed to redirect the radiation emitted by my phone towards the back of the device and away from the users head and body. Every time I see a better-looking or fun case – even when I’m offered free cases, I think about switching. Then I remember my daughter using my phone and stick with my Pong.
The technology in Pong cases has been tested in Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-certified labs and proven to reduce your exposure to cell phone radiation by up to 95% below the FCC limit, while optimizing your mobile device’s signal strength.
This is a screenshot from my phone with the recommendations from Apple on how far your phone should be kept away from your body.
In the middle there, it says…
10mm equals a little more than 3/8 inch.
I don’t know how you use your iPhone but I don’t always use a hands-free option or headphones or keep the iPhone more than 3/8 of an inch away from my head and my daughter doesn’t either….
A friend offered me a free iPhone case last month, and I turned it down explaining why I keep my Pong. She shook her head and said, “you believe that, huh?”. I am not a scientist, I haven’t read all the research, but for me, this is a “better safe than sorry” issue. There is enough doubt that it’s worth giving up “cute” and “trendy” – which for me is not easy!
One lucky reader is going to win a PONG case of their own for an iPhone 3/3gs!
