Does anybody know a Faraday Bag/Box brand that works? (lemmy.world)

Seems if you scroll around shopping websites and look at the negative reviews you always see people saying things like "never worked at all" or "stopped working soon after".

It can't really be that involved to line a small enclosure with some metal fibers, can it?

The most reliable way to know if a Faraday bag works is to test it yourself - put your phone inside, call it, and if it doesn't ring or go straight to voicemail, it's blocking signals effectivley.

Well yes but in that case you have to keep buying and testing bags until you find one you like.

So, alternatively, I asked if anybody here has used or reccomends them.
