Black Hole Phone Bag is a glorified way to push the off button
The unnecessary cellphone accessory market is still booming, which has been made apparent with the Black Hole Phone Bag. This bag does essentially that, it sends your cellphone into a black hole, figuratively, not literally. The bag is manufactured by renowned consumer electronic accessory maker (yes, sarcasm), Brando. It shields a cellphone from receiving any kind of cellular signal, therefore making it practically worthless.
What can you do with a dead cellphone? Normally you could at least play the games, or do work if it is a smartphone, but because the Black Hole Bag is a pouch, all of those options are eliminated. Shouldn’t you just turn the phone off at this point? Oh well, it is available for $12, and surely some sucker will buy it.

I would use the bag to protect my credit cards that have RFID chip in them. But for cell phones.... guess not.

This pouch is better then pushing the off button, since your phones never really off (unless you remove the battery).
Nowadays, when you shut off a cell phone, it's a form of "soft off". That's why roving bugs can eavesdrop on you via your cell phone mic, even when it's off.
Just my two cents.
on your cellphone!
