By now, you have probably noticed that not all smartphone cases are the same. A Pong case, for example, is the only mobile device case proven to reduce your exposure to cell phone radiation while still protecting your signal strength.
And while all Pong cases are rigorously tested by our researchers in state-of-the-art facilities, did you know that most mobile phone cases are neither tested nor factored into the device equipment authorization process, even though most people use a case with their mobile device?
As a result, the “radiation profile” of a given device with a case may be drastically different compared to the same device without a case, often dramatically increasing Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) and decreasing Total Radiated Power (TRP).
At Pong, we think that consumers deserve to know how their mobile device cases affect their exposure to unwanted radiation, which is why we filed a letter with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) asking it to “seek information on ways that the device testing guidelines can be improved to more accurately reflect predominant consumer behavior.” We think that test data should include the presence of a case, which would more accurately determine (among other things) “real SAR,” especially since most consumers use cases (as many as 85% according to many sources).
