2.0 out of 5 starsFaraday pouches stop working after 1 month of use
Reviewed in Canada on July 1, 2024
The faraday pouches worked as advertised when I first received the product. I tested them regularly by trying to open the car door with the key fob inside the pouch. For the first month or so, they worked perfectly. But after that, I noticed on a few occasions I could open the driver door with the key securely in the pouch. After a few more weeks, I could open the driver door and start the car every single time without taking the key fob out.
It seems the signal blocking material they use in the pouch liner is too delicate to withstand normal wear and tear. If you buy these, make sure you test them regularly and be prepared to replace them as needed.
I have no complaints about the faraday box that came with the pouches, but I have not done the same testing. I still put the fobs in the faraday box at night.
I am currently looking for a more reliable replacement for the key fob pouches. I would definitely not buy this product again.
