Mobile phone pouches for South African schools, universities, concert venues, theatres, exams and corporate events.
The product
South Africa has no national school phone ban. Each school governing body sets device rules through its code of conduct, and independent and former Model C schools have been the fastest to adopt phone-free days. Theft and filming incidents are frequently cited reasons, which favours a pouch the learner keeps rather than a shared storage box.
Basis: School governing body codes of conduct.
Schools, venues and workplaces in South Africa 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 South African institutions.
Supplying Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and Pretoria and everywhere else in South Africa.
The latest phone-rule changes in South Africa.
Ongoing
