An interesting phone gadget.

Hide your phone from the network. You could just take the battery out, but this is a bag!

QuoteTrue, this black hole phone bag probably appeals more to pasty tinfoil types than badasses who can kill you with a phone book, but it'd be nice when you're hiding from your crazy hacker girlfriend 'cause you just want to play Halo with your friends. Slip your phone in the bag and it disappears from the network—no calls, no triangulation, no black helicopters. Twelve dollars seems like a small price to pay to avoid making all those Will Smith blunders when dodging G-Men.

Is there a bag out there that's big enough that I can fit my whole body in?
Oh yeah . . . but I'd be dead~!

There ain't no hiding. If "they" want you, they'll get you.

They used to send out bags like that with your E-ZPass so you could put it in whenever you didn't want to be monitored, or just wanted to pay your toll in cash for whatever reason that day. No more.

Very interesting. You could get a lead box too. I'll just either take out the battery or leave the phone at home.

One of my favorite tricks is to let other people borrow the phone for a while.

If I really need to get rid of a phone, there's always somebody who's about to leave town and is willing to accept a free phone with a bunch of minutes still on it.

I keep a piece of tape on my (new, ugh) phone's battery - after hitting the power switch, I pop the back open and move the tape over the battery contacts before reinstalling it. Keeps the battery in the phone, so less items to juggle, and still makes sure it is OFF.

Plus, unlike being in a bag, the phone won't be using more power trying uselessly to contact a network.

I bet that thing looks a little less dorky on your head than a tin-foil pyramid hat.

you dopes don't know anything.  I just hook up an exterior ground to my cloaking hat and it cloaks everything in a 2 meter area around me. ;D
