The Case for Truth
Products can help you use tech more safely — policy fixes the problem.
A well-engineered case reduces near-body exposure by enforcing correct orientation and better habits. It cannot repair a system held to heat-only, 1996-era limits, preempted local voices, and stalled federal obligations. We fight to update the rules and pivot indoor connectivity to light — while helping you protect your family today.
No percentage claims. Real-life reduction = orientation + antenna behavior + duty cycle.
Mechanism — Real Signals, Real Biology
Pulsed / Modulated RF → Ion-Channel Mistiming → ROS
- AReal-world signals are pulsed and modulated. Envelopes force-oscillate voltage-gated ion channels (Ca2+, Na+), mis-timing cellular currents.
- BMistiming spikes ROS. Ca2+ upshifts mitochondrial and membrane redox enzymes (NOX/NOS), flooding reactive-oxygen species.
- CROS is the universal amplifier. Wherever oxidative stress drives pathology—plaque, DNA breaks, neuro-inflammation—extra ROS accelerates it.
Evidence — Oxidative Stress
Overwhelming OS signal at non-thermal intensities
- 93/100 RFR studies positive for oxidative effects (Yakymenko 2016).
- 124/131 (95%) positive at non-thermal RF/WC intensities (Frontiers 2025 synthesis).
- WHO SRs: strongest certainty for heart schwannomas; moderate for gliomas; male fertility SR shows adverse signals (corrigendum 2025).
Misleading marketing vs. first-principles design
| Misleading claim or feature | TruthCase™ principle |
|---|---|
| “99% protection everywhere” from a fabric swatch | Orientation & duty cycle rule reality. Put the shield between you & the phone; teach habits. |
| Metal loops, magnet plates, thick 360° wraps | Don’t detune antennas. Phones raise transmit power to hold the link. |
| Large unshielded ear-side speaker hole | Maintain continuity at the ear. No big aperture where you need reduction most. |
| Vague or no usage guidance | Teach the playbook. Calling posture, pocket orientation, distance, night discipline. |

Tick any that apply to your current case.
Ohmmeter verification — proof you can touch
- Set any basic ohmmeter to continuity (beep) mode.
- Touch one lead to the access point near the ear-side aperture inside the front cover.
- Touch the other lead to a second point on the shield layer.
- Continuity = a real conductive shield path.
What a good case can — and cannot — do
✓
Help you place the shield correctly between body & phone during calls and carry.
✓
Avoid antenna mistakes (no magnets/loops/plates, no over-thick builds).
•
Reduce duty cycle by habit (distance, airplane mode at night, disable radios).

It won’t fix policy — accessories don’t replace modern standards & oversight.
Policy Action Center
Products are training wheels. Policy is the solution.
Act now: enforce Public Law 90-602, complete the FCC court remand, and restore local rights by repealing §704. Pilot Li-Fi (IEEE 802.11bb) indoors.
SAR Research & Tools
SAR is thermal compliance; real exposure depends on orientation, duty cycle, simultaneous radios, signal quality, and antenna efficiency.

SAR is thermal compliance — not a biological safety seal
U.S. SAR 1.6 W/kg over 1 g; EU 2.0 W/kg over 10 g. Heat-only metrics miss modulation & long-term biology.
Oxidative stress base (93/100 → 124/131)
Consistent OS findings at non-thermal intensities, typically pulsed/modulated.
WHO SRs 2023–2025
Animal cancer certainty strongest for heart schwannomas; male fertility SR shows adverse signals (corrigendum 2025).
Simultaneous transmit & power control
Multiple radios + poor RF → higher UE transmit power.
Quick answers
Does it “block 99%”?
No slogans. Real exposure depends on orientation, antenna behavior, duty cycle.
Why avoid magnets/loops/plates?
They can detune antennas; phones raise power to hold the link.
Is TruthCase™ the same as QuantaCase®?
Yes — antenna-aware, ohmmeter-verifiable, usage-guided.
What about kids?
Distance (speaker/wired), avoid pockets, shorter on-head calls, no nightstand phones.
