I've updated this review many times over the years, and for good reason. Safesleeve is a company that continues to innovate and introduce new products.
Although Safesleeve is best known for its industry-first EMF protection cell phone cases, they now make a number of quality EMF protection products that I'll cover in this article as well.
I've personally used and tested just about every product SafeSleeve makes, and I'll give you my honest thoughts and experiences throughout the article. You'll also find a number of video reviews I made of various Safesleeve products so you can see how they work.
Here's a table of contents to help you get around:
Let's jump right in.
How Do SafeSleeve Cases Work?
SafeSleeve makes a large line of products that protect the user against EMF radiation, primarily cell phone cases, and tablet cases.
All of their products are intended to protect the user from harmful radiation while allowing you to use your devices.
The cell phone cases, for example, look like your average high-quality cell phone/wallet case, but what they hide is a plate in the front flap.
The shielding technology in this plate blocks 99% of EMF radiation, 99% of radiofrequency radiation, and 92% of extremely low-frequency radiation from your devices.
All of their cases have been tested and proven to work in FCC-certified labs.
You can read more about this and see the results of the tests on their website.
Why Only Shield the Front of the case?
This is to shield the brain and the body without disrupting how the phone works.
If the entire case was made out of shielding material, it would not be able to make phone calls or connect to the internet, rendering it useless.
So a good tip when using SafeSleeve cases is to have the flap facing your body when you put it in your pocket.
Also, be sure when you're using your phone without the flap closed to keep it at least 6 to 8 inches away to minimize radiation.
Safesleeve Product Reviews
Safesleeve has continued to improve its products over the years and I've been following the company and testing its products along the way.
Whether you're looking for EMF protection from your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or just about anything else, SafeSleeve probably has a product that can help.
Now, not all of their products are without their flaws and downsides, and I'll be sure to point those out as well.
Let's take a look at the individual SafeSleeve products, starting with their popular phone cases.
Here is a table giving you an idea of what we'll be looking at:

RF Blocking Blanket | Universal – Can be used with any device | 99% RF shielding from Wi-Fi, 5G, cellular, etc. | Soft OEKO-TEX certified fabric, lightweight, portable |
Anti-Radiation Headset | Compatible with all phones, tablets, and audio devices | Air tube technology reduces EMF exposure | Built-in microphone, noise isolation, hands-free use |
SafeSleeve Phone Case Review
You can see all of the phone cases for sale here.
SafeSleeve's phone cases are probably their flagship product, and it makes sense.
Cell phones are one of the largest culprits when it comes to EMF radiation exposure, and most people don't understand the potential danger.
SafeSleeve's phone cases are practically unrecognizable from other premium wallet cases but pack powerful protective materials.
As you can see from the image below, the front flap of the cell phone case contains both an EMF radiation blocking sheet, as well as a high-impact resistant insert to protect the phone from falls.
In fact, SafeSleeve puts all of their cell phones through military-grade drop testing to ensure that not only is it protecting the human body from cell phone radiation, but it's also protecting your phone extremely well.
Types of Safesleeve Phone Cases
I know when I first was looking at the different EMF protection phone cases that Safesleeve offered, I was a little confused about which one to pick between the three options.
So I wanted to quickly outline what those differences are (I also have a video review embedded after that shows the differences).
Feature | Detachable Case | Slim Wallet Case | Original Wallet Case |
---|---|---|---|
Design | 2-in-1 detachable design | Ultra-thin & lightweight | Classic wallet-style |
RFID Blocking? | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes |
Supports Wireless Charging? | ❌ No (when attached) | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
Best For | Users who want flexibility | Minimalists who want EMF protection & wireless charging | Those who prefer a full wallet case |
Detachable Phone Case
Has a 2-in-1 design, featuring a magnetically detachable inner case that gives you a lot of flexibility on how you want to use the case.
In my picture, you can see what the internal case looks like from the back.
That part of the case magnetically attaches inside, keeping it in place and allowing you to use the EMF protection capabilities of the front flap, without tethering you to it.
If having a bulkier wallet case always attached to your phone isn't for you, this might be a great option.
SafeSleeve Slim Wallet Case
This is a newer case to the SafeSleeve line but is one of the thinnest and lightest EMF protection cases on the market right now.
It still is a classic wallet-style case with an RFID-blocking card slot, but doesn't have a back flap behind the phone, meaning that you can still utilize wireless charging.
This is a great option if you want full-time EMF protection from your phone, but don't want to keep it in a bulkier case.
Original EMF Protection Wallet Case
This is the original Safesleeve wallet-style EMF protection cell phone case, which is still one of the best on the market.
Not only does it offer really solid, tested, EMF protection, but it's a stylish quality wallet case in its own right.
I own and have been able to test all three kinds of phone cases, and they all have their merits.
Watch my video review below to get a better idea of which might be right for you:
Pros
Here are some of the pros of Safesleeve phone cases:
EMF Radiation Protection
There are many products on the market that claim to protect the user against EMF radiation, but not many are measurable.
The thing I like about SafeSleeve's products is that you can actually test and see the protection for yourself.
There is no faith necessary, the products speak for themselves.
There is a simple sheet of EMF-blocking material inside the case that simply stops the radiation.
One other thing I do want to mention though, is that no matter what protective case you end up getting, you must keep the front flap closed whenever you're talking to someone, otherwise, you are not benefiting at all from the anti-radiation case that you bought.
In fact, if you utilize the speakerphone on your cell phone, you'll have even more protection.
RFID Blocking Wallet
On the back side of the front flap is an RFID-blocking wallet that holds up to 4 cards as well as cash.
As you may know, the way modern credit cards are designed, it is perfectly possible to scan information off of them right from your wallet or purse.
This protects your credit card and ID cards, as well as provides a convenient wallet for your most important cards.
Impact Resistance
Like most good phone cases, the case is designed to protect the phone from falls.
Since it encloses the phone entirely, it also protects the screen from scratches and cracks while it jangles around in your purse or pocket.

SafeSleeve Tablet Case Review
See all the tablet cases for sale here.
The tablet cases are very similar in design to the phone cases, so I won't go into too much detail.
They are similar to most iPhone or other tablet cases in structure, featuring a trifold case that acts as a stand, as well as a bungee to keep the case closed.
Pros
One of the things I really like about the design is the swivel portion.
When the case is open and folded as a stand, there is a metal swivel mechanism that allows you to change the tablet from landscape to portrait with an easy swivel.
Obviously, the most important feature of the SafeSleeve tablet cases is the EMR-protecting front cover, which works just as well as the phone cases.
Overall I think this is one of the best EMF protection tablet cases on the market.
Watch the video below to see my hands-on review and test of the Safesleeve tablet case.
Cons
Ok, now for my issue with the case.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this case because I feel like it is about as good as you'll get on the market.
The problem with any of these cases is mostly an issue with the tablets themselves.
The problem with tablets is that you can't do much with them without the screen.
The SafeSleeve case, just like any EMF protection case, can't do anything about the radiation making it to your brain while you're watching the screen.
So the only real protection these cases are providing is while you're transporting them, and while they are sitting in your lap since the protective flap will protect the backside of the tablet.
You won't get much better than this SafeSleeve case when it comes to EMF protection, but ultimately the best thing you can do is limit your use of tablets, and ensure you keep your distance.

SafeSleeve Laptop Case Review
See the laptop cases available for sale here.
The SafeSleeve laptop cases I think are a pretty great product.
If you've ever read my review of the DefenderShield products, then you know how much I like their laptop shield, which is essentially just a small desk for your lap that protects you from EMF radiation.
You may not know this, but amongst the many health dangers that EMF radiation poses is damage to fertility.
This is one of the reasons that protecting your body from the enormous amount of radiation that laptops emit is so important.
So the SafeSleeve case offers this same benefit, while also being a high-quality case to carry around your laptop.
See the infographic and video below to get a better idea of how the SafeSleeve laptop case works.
Overall I think the SafeSleeve laptop case is a fantastic product that just about anyone with a laptop should consider.
It combines all the things you would want in a quality laptop case, with the EMF protection your body needs.
SafeSleeve Lap Desk Review
The Lap Desk is a product that SafeSleeve didn't have when I first wrote this review, but I think it's a really great product if you're someone who is always using your laptop on your lap.
Most people don't realize how much electromagnetic radiation they are exposed to when using something like a laptop in close proximity to their body.
This is exactly why I wrote a whole article on NOT using a laptop on your lap or stomach.
You place the lap desk on your lap and then place your laptop on the lap desk.
Not only will it completely block the EMF radiation from reaching your legs (and other important body parts), but it will also protect you from the heat of your laptop products.
You might not realize it, but it's not good for your skin to reach high temperatures, and it's completely possible to burn yourself with a hot laptop.
Here is a helpful infographic that SafeSleeve made explaining the benefits and uses of the lap desk.
SafeSleeve Accessories
Safesleeve's main products are the ones I talked about above, but they also now have quite a few accessory products.
Since there are so many, I'm not going to cover them all, but I'll highlight a few that I think are important to know about.
SafeSleeve Anti-Radiation Headset
See the headset here.
Like most of the EMF protection companies on the market, SafeSleeve has an Airtube Headset.
Now, if you've been to EMF Academy before, you'll know that I'm a huge fan of Airtube headsets (read my full article on Airtube headsets).
I think they are such a smart product, and protect the head from so much EMF radiation.
Safesleeve's version of this product is not bad by any means but is not my current favorite (this is my current favorite).
I think that they have lacked innovation with their headset, and although the price is really good, the quality doesn't quite compare with some of the other products on the market.
SafeSleeve RF Blocking Blanket
Safesleeve also came out with an RF-blocking blanket as well, which is a solid protection blanket that I have tested and it absolutely works as intended.
If you want to read all about these types of blankets and find out which one is my favorite, read my full article here.
EMF protection blankets are a great product. They are extremely versatile and can help protect you from all kinds of radiation exposures.
For example, if you're working with a tablet or laptop on your lap, you can protect your body with a blanket while you work.
Safesleeve's blanket blocks over 99% of RF radiation (including Wi-Fi, 5G, cellular, etc.).
The outer material is made of OEKO-TEX-certified material that was rigorously tested to contain no harmful substances and to not irritate the skin at all.
Another feature I like is that built into the corner of the blanket is a small hood to help kids keep warm and keep their heads protected from radiation.
Although this is a great blanket with some great features, I do think there are some better blankets on the market at the moment.
I think it's smart that Safesleeve has a wide range of EMF protection products, but in my personal opinion, they are best at making protection cases for cell phones, tablets, and laptops.
Other SafeSleeve Accessories
None of the other accessories warrant an actual review, but if you're going to purchase one of their mobile phone cases, then I do think some of these might be worth it for you.
Here are a few of their other accessories:
- UV-C Phone Sterilizer
- Magnetic Car Mount for SafeSleeve Cases
- Magnetic Desk Mount
- Cross-Body Purse Strap for Safesleeve Cases
- Cell Phone Belt Pouch / Holster
Related Questions
Over the years that I've been updating this article, I've gotten some common questions over and over. So I thought I'd put my summary answers here, in case you have the same question as well.
Are SafeSleeve Products a Scam?
No.
Although you're right to be skeptical of EMF protection markets, as they don't all actually work, SafeSleeve is one of the few companies making products the right way.
Unlike many of the unverified products on the market, SafeSleeve has FCC-accredited lab testing that confirms the effectiveness of its shielding.
SafeSleeve phone and tablet cases are designed with a built-in EMF-blocking layer that can block 99% of RF radiation and 92% of ELF radiation.
I've also used and tested virtually all of SafeSleeve's EMF protection products and can attest that they absolutely do reduce the amount of EMF radiation you'll be exposed to when used correctly.
Do Safesleeve Phone Cases affect phone signal or call quality?
This is a great question since SafeSleeve cases are designed to block EMF and RF radiation.
However, the answer is no, Safesleeve cases are designed to only shield the front-facing side of the phone while allowing signals to pass through the back and the sides.
This is why it is especially important to use the cases in the correct way (by closing the front flap while you're on a call), or you won't experience any protection at all.
Can You still use wireless charging with safe sleeve phone cases?
Although the wallet case and detachable wallet case don't offer wireless charging, the SafeSleeve slim case does support it due to its ultra-thin back case.
Do Safesleeve Products Protect against 5G?
as 5G networks continue to expand, many people want to reduce their exposure to the RF radiation emitted by these towers.
Luckily, Safesleeve cases have been tested and proven to block 99% of RF radiation, including the millimeter-wave frequencies used by 5G technology.
Final Thoughts on SafeSleeve Products
I've been using and testing SafeSleeve products for years now, and although I don't always recommend them to my audience, they do make really great EMF protection products and always seem to have really good customer reviews.
In fact, Healthline recently talked about SafeSleeve products in their article on Smartphone Radiation.
Unlike many of the EMF protection products on the market, SafeSleeve has actually had its products tested in FCC-accredited labs and posted the results right on their website so you know you can trust them.
I hope you enjoyed my updated review of SafeSleeve products, if you did, please let me know!
