Its design reminds me of a Tumi style ballistic nylon briefcase

I ordered my first Faraday bag without the Mission Darkness window from another brand that sells a collection of different sizes of layered mylar bags , which allow them to be stowed inside each other (nested) to create the protection they offer. Before ordering, I noticed that they offer an app on the Mission Darkness website that you can download to your phone to actually test the effectiveness of the packages at blocking cellular coverage. and Wi-Fi signals; as a means of testing the pouch's ability to block energy waveforms that may be part of an ESD or EMP event. Both items arrived the same day and I went to the Mission Darkness website to download the app for my phone. The Mission Darkness Faraday case with no window for phones is a good size and I also tested it to see how additional devices might fit; for example, an external hard drive for backups, memory cards, cryptocurrency hardware wallets, and a portable ham radio. For me, the items I tested fit my purpose, namely: I want a separate bag for each one, a backup hard drive in one, a ham radio in another, etc. Mission Darkness offers larger bags, but this one fits me in size . , I ordered the Mission Darkness bag first. After downloading the application I followed the instructions that you start the application and run it for 30-60 seconds initially to allow the application to baseline for testing. I then put my phone in the Mission Darkness pouch, rolled up the top of the pouch and closed it with a velcro strap that attached to the pouch. I followed the instructions and left the phone in my pocket for about a minute and when the time was up I took the phone out of the Mission Darkness pocket and looked at the results. As detailed on the Mission Darkness website, the app has demonstrated that the Mission Darkness pouch completely blocks cellular and Wi-Fi signals. I repeated the test a second time to see what happens if I don't fold the top of the box and close it completely; The results showed some signal blockage but not complete, only around 20-40% still managed to reach the phone. Next is another brand of multi-layer Mylar bags. Using the same instructions and testing procedures for the Mission Darkness app, I started with a Mylar case, launched the app as before, placed the phone in the case, and closed the case with the built-in zipper. Wait a good minute again; The application showed no signal blocking. I started the test again, this time placing the first pouch inside the second multi-layer Mylar pouch; The app again showed no signal blocking. On the third test, I put the first two packages into the third package and started the test; Again, the app didn't show any signal blocking. It wasn't until I tested it for the fourth time with four nested Mylar bags that the app showed no signal blocking; This time, the Wi-Fi signal was completely blocked, but only about 60% of the cellular connection was blocked. What I love about the Mission Darkness bag: Its construction reminds me of a Tumi-style ballistic nylon briefcase. Ease of use and access to articles. can be called frequently or periodically. It only takes one bag, the bag itself, to block the signals as shown in their app. I recommend the Faraday Mission Darkness Windowless Bag for Phones to anyone who wants to protect not only their phone but other electronic devices as well. Devices such as an external backup hard drive, memory cards, cryptocurrency hardware wallets and/or a portable ham radio. For added water protection, you can place your electronics in a zippered plastic bag before placing them in the Mission Darkness bag.
