Mobile phone pouches for Dutch schools, universities, concert venues, theatres, exams and corporate events.
The product
The Netherlands introduced national guidance removing mobile phones from secondary classrooms from January 2024, extended to primary schools later that year. Schools implement it through their own rules, and the early evaluations reported calmer classrooms — which has kept the policy in place.
Basis: Dutch national agreement on mobile devices in schools, 2024.
Schools, venues and workplaces in Netherlands are adopting phone-free policies to protect focus, privacy and live experiences. PhoneLock supplies durable neoprene locking pouches with magnetic keys (GS 12000 / GS 14000), unlocking stations, signage and custom branding to Dutch institutions.
