A Safer Way to Cell
PongResearch Radiation-Reducing Phone Cases

With all the talk about what cell phone radiation might be doing to your brain, you’ve still whipped out your trusty iPhone more times than you’d like to admit — when Grandma calls for the umpteenth time, you answer.
Which is why we think the covers from the local experts at PongResearch are worth checking out. The only case proven to reduce cell phone radiation by FCC-certified labs (and backed by studies from the brainiacs at Wired), it cuts exposure by as much as 60 percent.
How do they do it? In layman’s terms, there’s an internal thingamajig aligned with the phone’s antenna that attracts radiation and moves it away from your head, funneling it up the case like a chimney.
Current models fit the iPhone 3G, 3GS, and BlackBerry Curve. An iPhone 4 version is on the way. Choose from discreet black or a mom-friendly shade of find-it-at-the-bottom-of-the-diaper-bag green. So Grandma never has to go to voicemail.
