For Those Who Believe in Fairy Tales

A Cell Phone Case Stands Between You and Cancer
Would you believe it?> Not a few days after claims that cell phones cause cancer come out into the public arena, a cell phone case claiming to protect you from teh radiation that causes the cancer come out right along side of it. Coincidence? I don’t know, but I will find out. But, here is the thing, this company has been researching the subject fro a very long time and they seem to be the only ones with hard evidence that their particular products actually Do reduce the radiation from the cell phones. So, here is the story.

Here’s the Deal on the Cell Phone Case
According to reports, Pong Research is claiming that a cell phone case they make for the iPhone can deflect, a least partially, some of the radiation coming from a cell phone and being absorbed by a human head. They claim that the case can “redirect” up to 60% of the Standard Absorption Rate of radiation from the phone into the air, or at least away from our heads, anyway.

According to Pong’s research website they claim they are the first to scientifically prove their cases can reduce radiation, saying :

Pong is the first product to meet international testing standards for SAR reduction and has been verified by industry leading laboratory Cetecom to reduce SAR for the iPhone 3GS in the WCDMA 1900 by over 60%.

And while, yes, their research may show these things, it it even needed? Or is the product just a response to a scare tactic trying to be made ito law my a Legislator in Maine? Or maybe, call me a conspiracy theorist, I know, but just maybe, the Law got wind of the report and got scared. Either way, the report remains true so far. That, YES these cases reduce radiation and YES it is scientifically proven.

So Tell Us About the Case Then
Here are some facts direct form the Pong Research Webpage:

• Radiation is a form of energy. Your cell phone antenna emits powerful radiation in order to send and receive signals to and from the wireless network. The hazard is that the antenna also radiates its energy into your headspace.
• Pong uses a patented physics-based solution to redirect the flow of this energy.
• Through the proven science of passive antenna coupling, Pong channels the radiation through its laddered ‘chimney’ up and away from your head. Full signal strength is maintained, so your phone’s function and battery life are not compromised.
• Once redirected, the harmful radiation quickly dissipates and poses no threat to you or those around you.

And here is what they say the Pong Case does:

• Antenna – the Source of Radiation-Without Pong, your cell phone antenna emits radiation in all directions, both to the outside and toward your head.
• Transfer of Energy-The Pong technology module, optimally aligned with the phone’s internal antenna, attracts the radiative energy. The Pong Effect occurs as a pure energy transfer with no distortion due to the properties of the module material and microwave-tuned antenna design.
• Chimney Effect-The unique “ladder” configuration of the Pong module moves the signal and its hazardous radiation through the Pong case like a chimney, and away from the user.
• Full Signal Strength-The Pong module redirects cell phone radiation while maintaining full signal strength. You may find that your communication efficiency actually improves with the use of the Pong case.

And The Verdict Is?
I guess if you believe what they are saying, as many people do, buying a Pong iPhone case might just be the best hing you ever did. And if you believe the recent hype over cell phones causing cancer, then this is going to be your new best friend. And if you are going to buy this case at almost $60, then you better be a big believer and just as scared as the Law Lady up in Maine. But I will say this…

Although I do not personally believe in the “cell phones cause cancer” scare, I do believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and if they want to buy a case that scientifically proves it can help stop radiation, than so be it. Merry Christmas and all that. But here is what I want to know, ha came first? The Chicken or the Egg? The Cell phone case, or the scare of Cell Phone cancer? Any takers?

And while I do not buy into the hype as quick as others, if someone can show me proof of a strong connection between the two, then I might just want to protect myself, but for now I must say no to a new $60 case.

And while I do not apologize for my attitude towards the subject of cell phone fairy tales, I do apologize to those who take it in a mean-spirited way as it is not meant to be as such. I am just asking the logical questions that I can’t find already answered, is all.
