Review on πŸ”’ OffGrid by EDEC Faraday Key Fob Bag: Top-notch Anti-Hacking Security, Military Strength Signal Blocking by Cedric Edwards

Keep unwanted drivers away from your vehicle!

So I got this mainly because I'm an Uber driver. My Nissan "Intelligent Key" design is a double-edged sword, in the sense that not locking the key fob in the car also means you can't lock others while driving if you have the key with you. Now that I have it, it does what it says on the tin and prevents outsiders with a sensitive smart key from unlocking my care while I'm inside. The only "common sense" pain is that you have to take the key fob out of your pocket every time you want to get in your car and start it of course (at least on my car). Maybe the only other minor thing is that this bag is bigger than the others so it doesn't fit in your pocket as easily as the others. I quietly kept it separate from other keys and simply carried the case and keychain in my pocket, pants or jacket. Actually it's not that important. I've had the bag since Friday, it does what it's supposed to and absolutely no signal to my car. Yes I was literally right outside the door and nothing would open, start etc. This is a well tailored little bag and not only does it have velcro but a nice flap that velcros back. I noticed that competitors only have velcro or valve. If you ask me, you both need secure fasteners. In addition, the key fob can be easily inserted and removed again. The key loop is big enough to attach a key ring if you want (I don't like carrying bulky key rings). Like I said, the stitching feels solid and the bag itself is pretty basic. Drop the keychain and you're done. Definitely a good way to positively "dumb down" a modern keychain and put more control in your hands (sometimes technology goes too far, IMO).

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • I don't have much to complain about, everything is fine
