Video: Yondr Locks Up Smartphones for No Phone Zones

Yondr has designed special pouches to help create no-phone zones. The pouches can be used in classrooms, concerts and anywhere else smartphones are not wanted.

People put their smartphones in a Yondr case when they enter the venue. Once they have entered the phone-free zone the Yondr cases will lock. Attendees maintain possession of their phones. If they need to use their phone they step outside the phone-free zone to unlock the case.

Comedian Dave Chappelle has been using the Yondr pouches at his shows. A teacher decided to lease the bags for her school after enjoying and remembering a concert more when she was forced to use a Yondr pouch.
