What's the use case for these products?

Even if the radio is blocked, how does that stop a device from collecting data anyway, and exfiltrating it the moment it finds a network? Won't it look for a network the moment you take it out of the bag? And don't you have to remove it from the bag to use it practically?

Ultimately, if your device is compromised or untrustworthy to the extent that it has to be policed this way, is it not safer to just... get rid of it?

I still wonder why phone cases with physical blockers for camera and mic aren’t in high demand, and why there aren’t hundreds of pirated copies on the market for the ones that have been developed.
