Signal blocking phone cases must achieve 40-60 dB attenuation across cellular frequencies (700 MHz to 6 GHz) while maintaining case thickness under 3mm. Current designs struggle with tradeoffs between effective shielding and maintaining essential phone functions like emergency calls, wireless charging, and camera access.

The fundamental challenge lies in selectively blocking RF signals while preserving device usability and avoiding interference with legitimate wireless operations.

This page brings together solutions from recent research—including selective antenna region openings, moveable RF-blocking panels, frequency-specific attenuation materials, and radiation redirection techniques. These and other approaches aim to balance signal blocking effectiveness with practical everyday use of mobile devices.
