Maybe someone will come up with a cell phone case that will block all harmful radiation from the cell phone.

First, somebody would need to come up with a cellphone that emits harmful radiation.  The closest they have was the old analog phones that emitted about 100X the power of modern ones.

Even then the link is iffy.

A friend of mine has one. Dunno exactly what it's made of. To test it, we were standing a couple of hundred yards from a cell tower. I had five bars. He put the phone in the pouch and told me to call him.

Nada.

Simple enough, you just need a faraday cage.  A foil or knit metal mesh that has an insulator on the inside and outside so there's no physical electrical contact.  The tricky part is having an opening to put the phone inside of it.  A plastic zipper, for example, would provide an opening.

How about a chain mail helmet, instead?



Don't think you'd even need a grounding strap.  Impinging energy would probably be dissipated in eddy currents.

You'd need one that covered your face as well.  Of course, in your case it'd probably stop all the screaming anytime somebody looked at you, so bonus there.

Nah, I don't have a problem with that any more:

"murse" is a term invented by women.  Real men disregard that stupid appellation.  :)

I carry my stuff in a Maxpedition Versa Fatboy.

I use a Messenger Bag and am secure enough in my manhood enough not to give a darn what anyone else thinks. I used a bag even before I was forced into the wheelchair. I can put my bag in my scooter's basket now though I guess...
