This signal-blocking phone sheath was designed by Adam Harvey of the anti-drone clothing collection. Harvey, alongside materials consultant Johanna Bloomfield, created the OFF Pocket to make your phone entirely untraceable. The carrying case is made with [metalized fibers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shielding-jacket) that can completely block your phone's GPS, Bluetooth, WiFi and cell signal. In addition to keeping you safe from the [NSA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/do-not-track-kids), the case is also waterproof and is a great way to keep yourself from playing with your phone while at work. Harvey and Bloomfield are offering up clothing from the former's anti-surveillance collection to deep-pocketed donors, and the entire campaign hopes to raise $35,000.
