Mobile phone pouches for Irish schools, universities, concert venues, theatres, exams and corporate events.
The product
Ireland is unusual in having put state funding directly behind pouches: the Department of Education announced funding to help post-primary schools go phone-free, with pouch systems explicitly in scope. That makes the buying question here about specification and durability rather than whether to do it at all.
