I received the product and it is of a very good quality. I did all the possible tests and the conclusion is that this product does its job very well for which it was designed.
I will return with feedback in a few months to make an assessment from a resistance in time perspective.
I was pleasantly surprised by the letter attached to the product! Very inspired!
I was a bit sceptical about buying one of these pouches but now I would highly recommend it. Tried it out by standing next to my vehicle to see if it would unlock the doors as it usually does but whilst the key was in the pouch, the doors would not unlock. Exactly what I bought it for.
I totally forgot that this was a two package item, so was very please to see two items in the package. I was even more pleased by the quality of the product. Its just slightly bigger than what I’d expect. But, I’ve never had one of these pouches before and it’s fits my keys perfectly. I recommend this product and will gladly purchase again as a gift for a friend as I trust mine will last a long time not needing a replacement.
Gives excellent protection. Well worth the price. The pouch is fairly large but no issues. It even fits into a Faraday box (pouch &key)
I have bought many security pouches for my car keys which have all been great but..I kept losing them!
This pocket has a chain and attachment for keys. Perfect! All going well so far as keys stay with the pocket.
Quick delivery and if you are like me, loose things, then this is a good choice.
I like the fact that I have peace of mind when my car keys are lying in my house. I worry a bit when I approach the car and remove the keys from the pouch. This is an unguarded moment for a scammer. I put the keys back in the pouch and drove off. I received a message from the car saying it could not find the key. So I had to remove the key from the pouch. I feel that it’s a chink in the security armour.
This product gives me peace of mind as I kept forgetting to put my keys in a tin that we use for our car keys………well made and good value with fast delivery I can’t fault this product…….and yes it does work as I spent a few seconds wondering why I couldn’t get in the car because keys were in the pouch
The pouch is large enough to hold several keys 5 or more on a key ring. It is very convenient to have both the key holder chain and the clip for attaching to handbag or belt loop. The most important thing is it does work as described.
Products received by next day delivery and were exactly what I wanted, a pouch to protect my key and another for the spare, which people often leave lying around unprotected in their home. I haven’t rated durability as time will tell but the product certainly seems well made so I am sure it will be fine. Finally I was surprised how inexpensive they were. I love the fact that I can still attach my door keys as I am used to having them all together and don’t want to have to keep checking if I have lost them.
Quick purchase as I needed to protect my keys/car. Fast delivery but it was a shock at the size, but that was my mistake as I’d been looking at others. Beware this packet is very big for a Ford key! I chose this supplier because of the internal chain, after first use one chain and the stitched loop came away from side of packet. The chain isn’t closed off properly either allowing the gap in the ring to tear the material ! I should have returned but sewed the packed up myself and altered the way the loop fixed to the inside. How long the rest will protect my keys I don’t know but will not be buying again. UPDATE – I’ve received a new pack from the company. These are much better quality than the original pack I received. My alteration is still working so I shall keep these for when needed. Thank you for caring about your product.
Excellent, well-made product that effectively blocks the signal to prevent our car keys from being duplicated and our car from being stolen. We tested the pouch and no signal permeates the pouch. It is also big enough to fit two Mini Cooper key fobs. Thank you for this excellent product at an affordable price.
Only just purchased, so not sure of durability, but the design is good and the bag fits a key well. I tried to start the car with the key in the bag and it didn’t start, so I count that as a success. Hopefully they will remain effective
This is a great wee pouch, not small but just ideal for holding the car keys.
I have a keyless entry/start car so we tested the pouch to see how secure the key signal would be.
The car remained locked when I tried the usual method of opening the doors with the key in the pouch.
I unlocked the car and sat in the drivers seat returning the key to the pouch, I then tried starting the car but nothing happened because the key’s signal was blocked buy the pouch. It definitely works as advertised, the pouch is sturdy & well made and will give a long time of use. Definitely worth the 5*’s
Note: This is an independent review, I have not been incentivised to submit this review. (I’m never that lucky anyway. )
Got these pouches to protect my keys from thieves after thieves with a scanner tried to steal my neighbours car. They weren’t successful as he had them in a Faraday pouch. I bought a pack (2) 1 for your spare key. I know they work because I tested unlocking my boot with the key in the pouch (it usually opens when your key is in range). It didn’t open. Well worth the money to protect your car!
Tried some simple tests which were positive. Couldn’t open the car door when the key was in the pouch. Just make sure the pouch is fully closed.
Once in the car, it wouldn’t start if the key was in the pouch.
Thanks.
I am no expert but the quality of the workmanship and the material looks to be very good. Most importantly they work. If the key is in the pouch the car will not start. Take it out and the car will start. I will give it a few months and update on how they fare durability wise but I don’t envisage any problem.
I had a different pouch from these ones prior to buying these.
Those pouch’s lasted less than a year before one ripped and the other broke down and was useless to protect the key
So really cannot comment on longevity of these new pouch’s only time will tell so far though the one pouch I use is doing a good job of keeping the keyless entry from working which is what it is supposed to do
This looks and feels great. My only issue is that, if you put the car key on the pouches key ring and don’t take it off when driving, the pouch dangles down so far that it constantly hits your leg which is both annoying and distracting.
This product is a very well designed item. I whole recommended this item above others. Reason as it has an external carabiner and a internal key ring for security to retain the key fob.
Quick Delievery, All round product looks good, nice packaging, even a hand printed message from the small business owner. The Carbon effect looks great and quality of Stitching is splendid. The hook/clip provided is useful for all occasions.
Let’s just see how long it will last with fair wear and tea
It blocks signal you can’t start the car unless you take it out of the pouch, I tested it buy having it in the car whith me the car didn’t star until I took the key out,
Reason I given 4 star for durability I only had this for couple of day.
Great little wallet nice and slim and not to big can walk past the car with the key in the pouch and in my handbag will not let the doors open Keep your key in the pouch during the night to prevent keys being cloned by car thieves while you sleep would recommend
.
Good product, works well. Light and fits fine in your pocket.
Nicely designed item at a good price, but a little small for my wife’s bunch of keys
Excellent product, but with a bunch of keys and car keys added it needs to be slightly larger.
place the keys inside, and tried to open the car door which did not work – no other way to test if this pouch works
Bought these as a replacement for 2 that gave up the ghost after 3 months or so. They are lot larger than the previous ones I’d bought.
A type of plastic imitation leather which isn’t too attractive.
I should have checked the measurements before I bought them as I’ll struggle to fit it in some of my small handbags.
Working great at the moment but I hope these don’t stop working too.
A lot of people are saying you can’t attach your house keys to it. What do they think the large clip on the top is for?!
House keys attached no problem.
Early days but the quality seems good and the product does as advertised. Value for money.
Product was exactly what we needed but what I thought was really lovely (and why I wrote review!) is the letter that came with it. It explained where it was made and a bit about the families. I just thought this was a nice touch. Thank you Li! I hope that you are having a nice week! Hannah x
Secures your car keys safely in a handy Faraday pouch. Two sets of car keys- two pouches in the orde
This Faraday car key pouch blocks 100% of signal.
I can put my key in the pouch and press it against the car lock or anywhere for that matter and no signal
is received by the car.
That also means nobody can scan your key when jt’s protected in the case.
And you get 2 for your money – so if you share a car they are protected as well.
So as you can probably guess i like it.
Quite a large pouch for my Suzuki Vitara keys. Like the chain that is inside so can attach key fob and easily get keys in and out without dropping them. Does cut off the signal when keys are closed in the pouch.
Was bought to replace another brand that started to fail at blocking the signal after 2 months.
On the downside feels and looks a bit plastic like – better to have function over form though.
I got this as I had been hearing a lot about people cloning car keys but was still dubious about it – I tested it by trying to start my car with the key in the pouch and the car could not detect the key so happy with my purchase and feel a little more easy about my car keys being kept near the front doo
You get 2 in a pack and they are very large so all of my key rings could also fit on, it also clips to your keys so it’s always around!
Also I locked my keys in my pouch when I got in the car and I was so impressed to see that the car wouldn’t start because my keys were in my pouch! Goes to show it really works
A little larger than I’d expected (pic with standard size tea spoon) but I’m getting use to it now. Clips onto trouser/shorts belt loop easily (seems to be a strong enough clip).
Or, just slips into a pocket.
The key chain inside the wallet is handy for other useful keys with enough room for the fob/remote to slip in also.
Had this a couple of weeks & so far so good
A neighbour had mentioned their faraday pouch no longer worked so I tested my old one and found it didn’t work either. Having looked through various new pouches I found this one.
It’s big enough to take the car key and have space for the door key without being so huge it’s ridiculous. Nicely made with good stitching and a helpful little clip on the pouch to store it too.
Rather large but is able to take the key and a fob or other keys attached to it.
Seems to be quite durable but time will tell. So far still looks good.
Items arrived quickly and were suitably packaged. I have only had the Faraday pouches for a few days so can’t really comment on durability but they appear well made and certainly serve the purpose. When the keys are inside, the car door will not open even if you are standing right next to it – so they do the job they are intended to do. Good size and look nice too. Very happy with the purchase.
Smart looking Faraday pouch. great for my car fob, but if you have a bulky key-ring attached to your car fob you may have to remove it before putting fob in pouch.
I purchased this for my girlfriend’s grandmother, having taken delivery of her new keyless entry car I informed her about the increase of keyless entry car thefts and advised about ordering some, without a second thought she requested I ordered some which I did. These work flawlessly, I’ve tested it from in the house, in my back pocket to placing the key in the pouch on the car roof and it blocks the signal at such close range.
Don’t be fooled by the price, they are excellent value for money and with two pouches, it means the spare key can go in the other one too.
Bought these from Amazon, mainly because they had the most positive reviews, I’ve just bought a brand new car which Is keyless entry and start, after numerous car thefts in my area (all keyless) I decided to get one of these bags, works perfectly, held it right up to the car in the pouch and it didn’t unlock, great that it came with two Pouches, one for the spare key that I can put away in the cupboard.
We bought these as car theft is increasing in our area alot with the theirs using amplifiers to pick.up the car signal to unlock the cars. Delivery was really fast I received the item the next day. Secondly the company sent an email asking me to contact them if there were any issues immediately. The product looks good not cheap material so looks like its very durable. I decided to test the product as I dont have an amplifier the only way I could test it was by putting the keys inside and pressing the buttons on my key fob to see it would open I tried near the windows, near the doors and at different heights and different places. It worked it did not unlock the car. A great product, good value for money.
Product arrived with a letter from seller which gave that personal touch and good to hear from the seller and understand their passion and importance to produce good product that will satisfy the customers.
I wasn’t sure how to tell if it works and does what it says it would do, as your protecting against a thief!! However, one day I went into my car with the key in the pouch and woooh, I couldn’t start the vehicle, the warning on my dashboard stated “No key detected”, there it was that light bulb moment…… I suddenly had my test, the pouch works. So I definitely recommend and have done so to few friends already.
This double pack of faraday key pouches were purchased to replace a failing pair of pouches bought some 18 months ago on (whisper it quietly) eBay.
As every with Amazon prompt, effective and covid secure delivery. You pretty much just have to think “what do I need?” And there it is on the doorstep.
As soon as the pouches arrived the package was ripped open and our old keys put in them and rushed out to the cars to see if the shielding was working. Success! They worked perfectly on a Japanese and a German car both with the wireless key technology. The old pouches had been sporadic in their effectiveness and in all honesty we only checked them every so often and were quite surprised that they had lost their effective shielding.
If you read up on the pouches it would appear some manufacturers items fail after a year or so. Let’s hope these last longer. In defence of these new items, they look well put together and are a little larger than the items they replace. They are easy to fit in male pocket and female purse/handbag I’d certainly recommend them.
You can use the clip at the top of the key pouch to hang keys up (including car + door keys) eg on a hook, or to clip onto or into a handbag, or inside of a rucksack – or you can put all keys inside the pouch and pop it in your pocket.
Because of the clip, if you’re shopping you can pop the boot of your car without fiddling around with a handbag or inside of a pocket; and then lock your car again while you put the trolley back, sanitise hands etc. put kids in the car whatever…
This is a really well thought out simple product I wish I could give it more than 5 x stars.
I bought these for the car keys, after reading how thieves can steal cars with keyless entry / ignition. The large size holds one of my bulky keys comfortably. They are completely effective – with the key inside, the door stays locked even when the pouch is right next to it. I’ve just bought them, so it’s early days, but they seem well made and look as though they ought to last. They came with a nice message, and I think the makers take pride in them.
Unless and until we get someone trying to externally access our car keys, it is impossible to tell if they will do their job. However, we assume they will, and as we have a camera directed at the car at all times following a total bumper theft, we would be able to tell if someone does try. This is the only reason I gave 4 rather than 5 stars, and we both found we could include the house key still on the ring with the car key to fit in the pouch. For your information it is the current BBC FRONTLIE FIGHTBACK series which drew our attention to a possible problem, not until then being aware the criminals’ technology existed to start our cars remotly.
I was attracted by the price for 2, who remembers the spare key tucked away ‘just in case’ in a draw somewhere?. I certainly didn’t until I saw this product listing, then realised I need two.
First impressions, the pouch is big, big enough to fit my fob with all the little storecards and keyrings attached, it’s actually big enough to fit a Motorola razor in (remember them).
nb: If you are going to put anything sharp-edged in these pouches use the end of an old sock or other piece of cloth as a liner so the inner fabric doesn’t get damaged.
It seems well made, a nice leatherette case with bound edges solidly stitched all around.
Ok so impressed so far, does it work?
Yes, my car is touch open and touch lock, not with the key in this pouch, it can’t detect it even with the pouch pressed against the handle.
I also tried the remote lock/unlock it kills that too. So it does what it claims.
Durability: I’ve just got it so no idea how long it will last but I’m happy if I get a year out of it, the spare key will ‘hopefully, never be used, so that should sit there until it rots.
So cheap, works and from the reviews I’ve read they should last about a year, I’m more than happy with that.
This is a very good product. Arrived on time and well packaged. It certainly does what it says, blocks the signal from your key-less car key. I had the key in the pouch and was standing next to my vehicle and until I took out of the pouch it didn’t recognise the key. I would definitely recommend this seller and their product. Thank you to the seller for the lovely note enclosed inside the box, it was very thoughtful and well received.
Received my pack of two Faraday pouches.
Well on time.
The price paid I think is reasonable.
Not knowing any thing about these I suppose I thought I they would be bulkier than they are. As long as they do the job then I suppose what they are is better.
What I will say is that that I only carry two keys and a s/market trolley token on my fob and it is a snug fit. Seeing that some people carry a much bigger bunch of keys than a larger pouch may be needed.
It looks quite well made from the outside the inside looks a less so and again may not stand upto regular use from a larger bunch of keys.
Security : 1-5
Durability : estimated 3.5
Early days but overall happy with my purchase.
In our modern world “technology theft” is a worry. To safe guard our car I bought a 2 pack security pouch for the keyless fobs .
One off our best friends had done all the hard research and found this to be the best . I must say , I am impressed with my purchase the speed of delivery the next day along with an excellent price . I no longer fear my husband losing his fob from his pocket . Perfect all round a definite winner . I also received a very nice message from the seller .
It is difficult to say how effective this device is but if it lives uo to the sales talk, then brilliant , I hope that I will never know the full truth because as a blocking device it should do the job without me ever finding out.
Tested with my mobile inside and called it within same room and signal did not get through
Excellent value and looks good
If ever there was a solution to a problem that didn’t ought to exist, this is it. But sadly the problem of relay auto theft has been thrust upon us, and so, if it concerns you, a solution is needed. A faraday pouch provides a cheap low tech solution by blocking the radio signals emitted by your “keyless entry/start” car fob,.
Initially I made my own out of cardboard, aluminium foil and sticky tape. It worked absolutely fine but wasn’t exactly stylish! So I looked to find something cheap but a little more resilient than my home made effort. This one certainly appears to be good quality and works provided you close the flap as per the instructions. I’ve only had it a few days so too soon to tell for sure how durable it will be,but first impressions are good and I will update the review if it falls apart!
Standing by, or sitting in the car, and the car cannot detect the fob if enclosed in the pouch, so that’s good. To open the car I don’t actually have to get the fob out, i just have to open the flap in the direction of the car and the car can see the fob again so that’s actually quite useful. It would be a pain to have to keep getting the fob out to unlock. Of course I do need to take the fob out to use the buttons to lock the car, but it’s reassuring to know that once locked, with the fob back in the pouch it’s secure.
Pouch is quite large but not overly so. It means it is big enough to hold quite a chunky fob and maybe a second key if attached to it. I can’t of course fit all the keys I would normally have attached to my car keys. but having my car fob in this pouch and my other keys on a separate key ring is something I’ll just have to get used to. This pouch can still be slipped easily in back pocket of adult jeans or in my jacket’s inside pocket. It’s external dimensions put it around the size of a jeans back pocket. Slightly smaller. Overall very impressed and a pack of two for the price (as obviously the spare will need protecting too) feels like good value.
I didn’t have any problems like one review I read where key could be slipped into “wrong pocket” in the pouch and thus be unprotected by the metallic pouch. Mine only had the one pocket so maybe this has changed.
So, if you are concerned about the possibility of a “relay theft” of your car using keyless entry, then I recommend this product.
Of course, you can do the same thing cheaper if you really want to save your money… you can make your own out of cardboard, aluminium foil, and duct tape. Just make sure the foil fully wraps around with no gaps… but having tried both, I prefer this pouch! Recommended.
Does the job well, blocks the signal. I would advise to check it works once a month, and change every 6-12 months and buy a new one, as they stop working after a while.
I would HIGHLY recommend you buy one and keep in your car, once you start the engine put the key fob in the pouch, this is because car thieves are now scanning car fobs whilst out and about shopping and driving, so I would ideally have 3, 1 for your fob, 1 for your spare fob and 1 to keep in your car.
Having bought a new car with keyless entry I was mindful of reports that such cars can be stolen when the keys are kept nearby and decided to buy a suitable pouch.
The car fob is quite bulky but even with the dealer’s key ring attached it fits inside the pouch easily. The pouch appears to be of good quality and I can’t see it falling apart.
As a test I stood next to the car with the key in the pouch and the car remained secure. Since that is all I want it to do I am happy that I have bought simple protection at a reasonable price.
Ordered this to protect my car keys from scanners. tested it by placing key fob inside and then putting the pouch in my pocket. Tried to open door handle but signal blocked. Cannot give a star rating for durability at the moment because it is still new so could only give honest score after I have used it for a while. Certainly seems to block the signal to the car so hopefully this will be good enough to prevent the fob being scanned. Good value for money. Gave another to a relative and he seems pleased with it to. Does what it says on the tin as they say so very pleased.
My car has keyless entry and keyless ignition with the only requirement that I have the fob about my person if I want to use it.
The faraday bag is, for me, a vital security option to prevent the signal accidentally being picked up while my car is parked at home and allowing anyone free access to it.
This little pouch seals my key and ensures no signal from the fob to the car is picked up at all. I have stood next to it and until the fob is taken from the pouch, the car doesn’t respond at all. The key pouch does exactly what it was meant to do and at a very reasonable price as well. One each for myself and my wife too, job’s a good’un.
Does what it says “on the tin” ;-). Just got this and tried it. Car unlocked when close to it with the pouch Open (as key was on my bunch of keys) but I closed the flap and hey-presto – couldn’t lock or unlock my car when standing right next to it – or even when the key (in the pouch) was up against the lock! Works great and will give us peace of mind now when leaving keys in the house in case anyone tried to scan the codes and steal our cars!! Great product, very happy!
The product was actually recommended by a popular high profile motoring website. That helped a lot as there is a massive choice available for this type of product.
Ordered Saturday afternoon and arrived Sunday morning. So, we’ll done Amazon too – again!
To get two of these for the price is a bonus as I can use one to protect my debit/credit cards etc. Like many, I carry a bunch of these and it’s good to know that they, and my car keys, will be protected from criminals’ digital eyes!
For me, they are just the right size & the Velcro is strong & secure. They look like leather but of course they’re not. However, they seem well put together & likely to last the course. My 4 stars for durability is simply because I’ve only just got them. Mind you, even if they only last a year or so, at least the replacement cost is not going to break the bank.
Finally, I do have to say I was impressed with the lovely letter from the seller that came with the order. So polite, thoughtful and very customer focused. For me, that kind of consideration from a supplier gives me confidence to buy from then again.
With a sudden rise in car theft in my local area. I decided to give these a try after reading many reviews elsewhere etc.
These work a charm. They are a great size – they fit my key in as well as keychains I have attaches to my key, with ease!
Once the key is in the pouch, it’s basically in it’s own bunker. I tried accessing my keyless entry car and no access happens at all!
If I ever have the need to get more of these. These signal pouch blockers will be the ones I buy.
No nonsense Faraday wallets. The outer construction material, (some type of flexible PVC plastic), makes them rather stiff across the width, but that in no way detracts from their primary function.
They have plenty of room inside for the car key-fob, a keyring, and a couple of other keys.
They do the job of stopping the key’s signal from being transmitted, and for the price, (2-pack), in comparison with the many similar items out there, these would be hard to beat.
I’m glad that I went with the review on honestjohn.co.uk, which rated this the best bags to buy. The quality of the stitching seems fine, although I’m only 2 days into using them. My rfid car key fits in fine, though there’s no room for a phone as well (though why would you put a phone in?). The only point to note is that it’s quite big to go in a pocket, though I can manage it, but I don’t think a smaller one would fit my car key, unless it was a different shape (more boxy rather than a pouch). And you get 2 so you can protect the spare key at the same time.
# Note : 6 months in and still working well.. tested last night and they still block the signal, it quickly became a habit, just slipping the key into the pouch as soon as I walk through the door.
1. Stood next to car with key in bag and attempted to unlock the car – the car would not unlock.
2. Got in car, put key in bag on the passenger seat and attempted to start the car using start button – nothing happened.
If I had a criticism, which I don’t, is the bag is on the big side. There are two bags and most of us have 2 keys – one in each bag so I would have thought they could be made a little smaller.
I HAVE A MERCEDES GLA 200 SPORT & ONE HOT DAY (WITH THE FRONT DOOR OPEN & VARIOUS WINDOWS) “LIKE YOU DO”.
JUST FOR CURIOSITY, I WENT OUTSIDE & SAT IN MY CAR, PRESSED THE IGNITION BUTTON & MY CAR STARTED UP . YET MY KEYFOB WAS INSIDE THE HOUSE AROUND 8 METRES AWAY .
I HAD SEEN A TV PROGRAMME ABOUT HOW TODAY’S THIEVES CAN SCAN FOR A KEYFOB TO GAIN ACCESS TO A VEHICLE , WHEREAS THIS PARTICULAR PRODUCT WOULDN’T EVEN LET ME START MY OWN CAR WHILST I WAS ACTUALLY SAT IN THE CAR .
I was a little skeptical at first but recently I was inside my vehicle and central locked myself in but when I went to start the car, nothing happened. I got a warning message on my dashboard to tell me that I needed my fob (key fob). Only then did I realise that it was inside the pouch. I put my fob back in once inside my car. It definitely works as even though I was in my car and the fob was in the pouch, I wasn’t able to start my car.
Don’t have any negatives.
It’s good value for money, you get a pair and it’s black.
I recently bought a new car which features keyless entry and whilst it is a nice feature to have, the car industry really aren’t up-to-date with what a security flaw this is. At night when you put your key somewhere ‘safe’ a would be thief can sit in your garden with a cheap bit of tech and ‘extend’ your wireless key range to fool the car into thinking you are nearby so that they can open the car and even start it.
I knew all of this when i bought the car and that is why my first action was to buy a protective bag. For the price i was sceptical that it would work and when it arrived i was even more sceptical! There is no weight to the wallet and it looks very very low-tech, just a leather pouch. Ready to start the return process i placed the car key inside the wallet, walked out to the car and attempted to open it……. the car did not open. I then put the wallet (key inside) up against the windscreen, the car still would not open. I then removed the key from the wallet opened the drivers door and sat in the drivers seat, i then put the key back in the wallet and immediately the car dash reported that the key could not be found! I was impressed to say the least.
So having tested the product straight away i was pleasantly surprised and can confirm that it 100% works. This being said, it will be nice to see how long this product lasts so i will be sure to come back in a few months time to report my findings!
Pros:
1) It actually works
2) My Hyundai key plus 2 keyrings and one small key easily fits inside
3) Its nice and compact
4) You get two!!
Bad Points:
1) It would be nice if it had a hook / loop so that you can hang it up with your other car keys at night
2) Would be fantastic if it had a seperate ‘slip’ that you could put your contactless bank card in… double whammy!
Delivery was prompt, and the items look durable – I have marked durability as a 3 as I have only had it a short time so I don’t know how durable they will be.
The bags themselves are easy to use, you just lift the top of the pouch up and place the key into the gold section, and close the top again. If I have one critique its the fact there isn’t a handle of some kind on the back of the pouch so I am not able to hang it up in my key cupboard and I have had to use ribbon to make a loop. That said the pouch does what is is designed to do and the car will not start when the key is inside.
I have tried the suggestion of keeping the fobs in a metal box but have found the cars can still be unlocked. These bags do however work. Even with the bag a few cm away from the lock and the flap of the bag open the cars refuse to unlock so it seems unlikely that a thief could read them from a distance so they seem to offer a reasonable level of security at a low price. They also have the advantage over many security measures that using them is quick and easy so it does get done – most of the time.
I read reviews as they help my buying decisions. If this helps you please click the LIKE so I know I am not wasting my time.
The fact that there are two pouches included is great as both the main car key and the spare are covered. I think I may even be able to fit my contactless debit card inside which is a super bonus.
Highly recommended.
They are amazing, now accepted not as a amazing as the joy I felt of the birth of my daughter to be honest. but from a ‘secure your car’ from the scumbags of this world who try to stand outside your home reading you car key signal so they can steal your car these are amazing they work perfectly. I waved the pouch around the door handle, and no it would not open, I unlocked the car properly then put the key back in the pouch and the car would not start… it does exactly what you need. Now I just need a pouch that makes me irresistible to females and I’m all good 🙂
The first thing I did was to test the quality of the signal blocking and I did this by trying to get into the car with the remote control in the blocker case. I was pleased to note that it worked as advertised.
I carry the ‘in use’ remote control and its case with me when I use the car and the spare remains in a second case at home and located as far from my garage as possible (whether that makes a difference I’ve no idea!).
The blocker case is no more trouble than a spectacle case to carry about and is ‘soft’ rather than ‘hard’ and weighs almost nothing.
There are two sections. The rear part just fits a Volvo keyless key fob with a key ring Attached (no keys attached). It’s a tight fit but it fits. There is a second, front pouch but I can’t really see the value of the front pocket in the pouch.
I put my fob in the rear pouch and tested the pouch but the signal wasn’t blocked and my car opened. Then I saw I had just put the key in and not closed the flap on the pouch properly. My mistake, once rectified the pouch did it’s job. Literally stood next to the key sensor on my Volvo but the signal was blocked by the pouch and I couldn’t get in the car.
The pouch itself looks a little cheap and I am not sure how durable it will be but for 8.99 I got two pouches to block anyone from relaying the key signal from my home to the car and driving off with it while I am in bed.
It’s not a designer item but for a few pounds I can now leave my keys in a handy location at home knowing the signal relayed from outside while I sleep. It does what it says on the tin for a very reasonable price.
Drop the keys inside the pouch, its big enough for a bunch of keys or just the main car key and leave the rest outside its up to you.
– First test with my car a BMW with the keys dropped in but even with the top left open and the car couldn’t detect them at the ignition at all.
– Second test on the wifes car that has comfort opening on a BMW. Again drop the keys in and fold the top of the push and walk to her car. Touch the handle NOTHING it won’t open.
– Third test – Continue to try the car by touching the handle whilst opening the pouch still nothing, only when the push was fully open and the key just out of the top did the car detect the key. I’d ensure the pouch is fully closed to ensure it works but I was shocked how far open and out the key could be before the car could detect it.
All in all if you are worried that your car is going to be stollen with these new devices and you have keyless ignition or keyless opening.
GET THESE ORDERED!!
Attached photos show car key with three other keys on other rings + photos of keys inside the pouch.
It was because of this that I picked up the Signal blocker cases. These are so simple to use and for little over 10 will protect your expensive, keyless ignition car from being stolen! Its a no brainer to me.
I have tried and tested these to the max and can assure you they work. I have tried oiperating the remote from within the case and also starting the car with the key in the bag in the car and the signal 100% of the time does not get out and your car can not be started or unlocked which means that there is no signal from the case to be intercepted by the thieves.
Like I said before, its an absoluote no brainer if you have a keyless ignition car.
It’s a nice size for your pocket, fits my set of house keys and car fob perfectly but anything more could be a struggle.
Keys inside and pouch closed my car would not detect the fob even if I pressed the pouch anywhere against the car, really works well.
2 pouches is a good idea, one kept in the house and another in the car should you park at the shops, restaurant, cinema etc and worry about someone following you to boost your fob signal. This pouch does give you peace of mind.
All in all a GREAT product.
Thought it would all be a bit bulky at first, but surprising that the whole thing does not bulge in the pocket, sort of just lies flat.
More importantly, it just works!!! If the key is in the metal pouch, the car will not open. The same applies if you have the habit of leaving car keys on a table in the hallway or hanging on a hook inside the front door.
You have to take the key out of the pouch for it to work.
The inner metal pouch is stuck down against the outer pouch on one side only, the other side is not.
Very pleased with it so far, stitching around the pouch looks good, no loose edges etc. You get two of them as well.
