Mobile phone pouches for Korean schools, universities, concert venues, theatres, exams and corporate events.
The product
South Korea legislated in 2025 to prohibit smartphone use during class hours in elementary, middle and high schools, taking effect from the 2026 school year. Schools now need a defensible method of enforcement rather than teacher-by-teacher discretion.
Basis: National Assembly amendment to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, 2025.
Schools, venues and workplaces in South Korea 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 Korean institutions.
Supplying Seoul, Busan, Incheon and Daegu and everywhere else in South Korea.
The latest phone-rule changes in South Korea.
