RF Safe (Protecting Families From EMFs Since 1998)
So, You Think You’re A Smart Shopper? Think Again.
Let’s be clear right from the start: if you’ve spent your money on products like SafeSleeve or DefenderShield laptop and tablet cases, you’re not just gullible—you’re actively endangering yourself and misleading others. Why? Because you bought into the scam without a basic understanding of physics or common sense.
I founded RF Safe back in 1998, pioneering the first true anti-radiation phone cases online, a decade before these current scammers ever learned what EMF even stood for. But when laptops went Wi-Fi around the year 2000, I immediately discontinued our laptop shield. Why? Because shielding your femur—the largest, strongest bone in your body—while bringing a microwave transmitter closer to your abdomen, bladder, reproductive organs, and unborn child is absurdly reckless.
Yet here you are, two decades later, proudly buying and flaunting these dangerously misengineered “anti-radiation” laptop pads and tablet folios. Congratulations on being an easy mark.
Why These Products Are a Dangerous Scam
Shielding the Wrong Place – The Height of Stupidity
Radiation shielding is simple physics. If the shield is placed directly between your body and the device’s antenna, it reduces exposure. Great. If it’s placed anywhere else—such as folded behind the device while in use—it becomes a reflective antenna extender, amplifying and redirecting radiation straight through your internal organs.
SafeSleeve and DefenderShield claim “lab-tested” reductions in radiation exposure, but here’s the kicker: their “tests” show measurements taken with the case closed—precisely how you never use your device. In reality, the second you flip that “shield” behind your tablet or laptop, you’re broadcasting intensified radiation deeper into your body.
Think that’s smart? Think again, genius.
The Antenna Doesn’t Care About Your Ignorance
Your device’s antenna isn’t smart—it doesn’t care about your misconceptions. Block its signal, and it simply cranks up power output to compensate. You’ve just turned your device into a stronger microwave transmitter, with you inches away.
Your shiny new folio isn’t protection—it’s a loudspeaker directing amplified radiation straight through your reproductive organs, intestines, and developing fetus.
Great job supporting scammers. You’re officially part of the problem.
Why You’re Making It Worse for Everyone
Every dollar you spend on scam “protection” funds misinformation and diverts resources from genuine solutions. Here’s what you should be fighting:
- Repealing Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act, which strips your First and Tenth Amendment rights by preventing communities from blocking cell towers based on health concerns.
- Holding the FCC accountable for ignoring its legal obligations after losing a 2021 lawsuit over outdated radiation safety guidelines.
- Restoring funding to the National Toxicology Program (NTP), abruptly cut after they found clear evidence linking cell phone radiation to cancer.
Instead of battling these critical issues, you’re too busy posting selfies with your new DefenderShield cover, encouraging other clueless shoppers to join you in ignorance.
A Brutal Checklist for the Self-Proclaimed “Smart Shopper”
- Believe a shield behind your antenna reduces exposure? You’re an idiot.
- Trust marketing photos taken in unrealistic usage scenarios? Double idiot.
- Boast on social media about your anti-radiation purchase? Congratulations, you’ve inspired more idiots.
- Spend $100 on gimmicks instead of a $10 shielding cloth that truly reduces exposure? You’ve achieved peak idiocy.
Real Protection, No Gimmicks
Here’s how real protection works:
- Distance: Every inch counts. Keep devices away from your body.
- Download and disconnect: Airplane mode beats streaming radiation directly into your lap.
- Wired peripherals: A cheap USB keyboard or headphones reduce exposure effectively.
- Demand better design: Insist on devices with antennas placed away from your body, automatic power-down functions, and ultimately, Li-Fi technology.
Final Thoughts: Stop Being the Problem
If you continue buying into these scams, you’re worse than misled—you’re complicit. You’re fueling a dangerous industry built on ignorance and fear, diverting critical energy away from solutions that can genuinely protect you and your family.
Stop funding lies. Start demanding truth, accountability, and science-based solutions. Or continue proudly wearing your badge of consumer idiocy.
The choice—and its consequences—are yours.
