Keep Your Family Safe with the Radiation Reducing Pong Cell Phone Case- Review & Giveaway!

I’m on my phone…a lot.

I answer emails from my phone (Someday I will count all the answerable emails I receive each day. I’m guessing it’s around 30.). I’m on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.  I’m Googling the answers to myriads of questions that come to my 7 year old’s mind.  I’m texting pictures, like these I took yesterday, to The Husband of Little Z’s crazy antics.

Given my blog and presence in social media, I’m pretty sure that I can hold my own in competition with today’s Sleep With the Cell Phone Under Their Pillows (a VERY dangerous practice, by the way) generation when it comes to cell phone use.

But, did you know that cell phone use isn’t without serious risks?

Here are a few facts about cell phone radiation:

• Your head and body can absorb over 50% of your smartphone’s transmitted signal during normal use. RF wireless energy impacts soft tissue, especially in the brain. Your head and body absorb this energy not only when you talk on your smartphone, but also when you carry the device in your pocket.
• Even though the health effects of RF wireless energy on our bodies are uncertain, the FCC has recently ordered a review of its safety standards. The World Health Organization has classified cell phone radiation as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”.

Are you concerned yet?  I am, and you should be too.

Critics will argue that no study has shown conclusively that cell phone use and RF energy can be tied to cancer.  To this I pose two thoughts:

1) limits were set before 2000, you know, back in the day when people (if they had them) used their cell phones like regular phones–I’d talk for 5-30 minutes and then hang up and put my phone back in my purse, on my dresser, wherever and walk away.  Nowadays people have their cellphones on them all the time.  We’re sending texts, perusing Facebook, tweeting, sharing pictures on Instagram, checking email, and, oh yeah, we still talk on the phone sometimes too. For the average user, our cell phone usage has shot up from minutes a day to hours a day.

2) An increasing number of young children and adolescents regularly use smartphones.  Children may be at an increased risk for several reasons, including the fact that their nervous systems are still developing leaving them more vulnerable.

This is where The Pong Cell Phone Case comes in

Pong makes smartphone and iPad cases custom-designed for each mobile device and works to redirect radiation away from your head and body. The Pong cell phone case has a micro-thin, gold-plated antenna embedded inside that redistributes your wireless service’s signal, pulling it away from the head and body and redirecting it towards the back of the device to decrease wireless energy absorption without decreasing the device’s signal strength.

Pong sent me cases for my husband and I to use on our iPhone 5s’s.  Due to the fact that we have a mischievous toddler in the house we chose to review the Rugged Pong cell phone case.

Here are a few quick facts about the Rugged style Pong cell phone case for the iPhone 5s:

• Pong transmits stronger outbound signal up to 27% for an iPhone 5s
• Pong increases Range up to 13% for an iPhone 5s

Take a look at the video below for a closer look at the Rugged Pong cell phone case and to see what I thought of it.

So, until someone proves that extended cell phone use is completely without detrimental side effects I’ll be keeping my Pong cell phone case on my phone.
