The box is used to store the keys to my car to prevent them being cloned as is the current fashion amongst car thieves. The box is the right size for the task and is conveniently placed in our hallway table without being an eyesore. I have tested the box and the two pouches that come with the box by trying to start the car while the keys are stashed and the car refuses to start so it appears that the box does what it claims.
Nice product. I actually mostly need the pouches as I’m always unlocking my car when my keys that I keep in my pocket get squeezed. The pouches stop this from happening. As my current car is not keyless I had the box as well for future use. Tested it by holding my key inside and pressing the unlock button. Not a proper test as I can’t close the lid with my hand inside. But tested it enough to see that it works.
I can’t tell from the listings what the difference is between the “medium” and “large” models, but I ordered the “medium” model and the outer dimensions of the box measure17x12x9.5cm which does equate to those shown in the product listing and photos.
Both the box itself and the key pouches work well and I was able to stand right next to the car and the keys weren’t detected.
The box is quite large and there is plenty room for one or more phones inside as well as the keys unless you have an especially large phone.
The pouches on the other hand are rather small – you can squeeze an individual key in – so fine for long term storage of your spare key, but I wouldn’t want to use them on a daily basis or try to get a bunch of keys into them…not really a problem as the box can be used for that.
Ordered the Medium sized box.
The box measures approx. 17cm (w) x 12.5cm (d) x 9.5cm (h).
Comes as shown, with two vinyl key pouches. These pouches are not just designed to look like unrealistic carbon fibre, they are also designed to block signals.
Not a fan of the reflective gold clasp on the box lid. From the look of the photos, it appears that the large sized box has a more tasteful antique coloured clasp.
The box itself is faux leather on the outside and a very stylish material lining on the inside. The interior base of the box and underside of the lid are also padded.
The lid when opened, does not stay open by itself – it’s not quite able to be opened beyond 85-ish degress. Therefore just falls closed if you let go. Not sure if this was an intentional design feature or if my box suffers a manufacturing defect. (Photos taken with the lid open were made possible with the use of propping up the vinyl pouches against the lid. No CGI, Photoshopping or AI was used).
Real life action packed tests (sitting in the car together with car key inside box) reveal that the box does indeed stop the car key signal and our stuntman was unable to start the car when pressing the auto-start ignition button.
Fun Fact: As long as the car key remains inside the box, this will also work on preventing all non electric ignition cars from being started.
Now… just have to find somewhere to store the box out of sight from car thieves…wish the glove compartment was a little bigger.
The two ‘not so little’ portable vinyl key pouches pretending to be carbon fibre, also passed the key test. All manner of blind button pressing through the outside of the pouch resulted in successful zero response with the cars*.
*Plural – Tests carried out on two different vehicles.
No carbon fibre was harmed during any tests or the writing of this review.
This not unattractive box will give some peace of mind that my new car can’t be easily robbed. It’s quite large just for car keys (17cm wide, 12cm deep and 10cm high) so I may look for a smaller one. I’m not sure I’d bother using the two pouches that come with it but I guess they’d add security if you were bothered to put your key straight into one each time you walked away from the car into your house/office etc
I wish these boxes didn’t have clasps on them as this makes it slightly more awkward to open to chuck in your keys. There are a lot of very similar looking faraday boxes on the market. This one seems reasonably priced.
I’m not blown away, but equally I can’t really fault it for the price.
