Our Winter issue features an in-depth look at the effects of radiation on pregnant women, babies… well, pretty much all of us. And to help increase awareness on this important issue, we reached out to some of the smartest green brands who are not only leading the way in research, they’re also creating products that protect us from the devices we can’t live without.
The first of these is Pong Research. This company is breaking down the information into bite-sized pieces.
You’ve probably heard there are some risks associated with wireless devices. But everyone around you continues to use them – held next to their brain, propped up on their belly, or carried around in their pocket. Maybe we’re all thinking if we ignore the dangers, they’ll go away. Or maybe we just don’t understand it enough to make a clear decision.
The Science section of Pong’s website contains some of the most clear and easy to understand information on the risks of wireless device radiation. It’s broken down into five critical categories:
- Mobile Use
- Mobile Radiation
- Radiation Absorption
- Reducing Exposure
- Protecting People
When it comes to Protecting People, that’s where Pong walks their talk. They create cases for all types of phones, tablets, and devices that reduce radiation exposure. Pong cases have been tested in FCC-certified labs and are shown to reduce radiation exposure by up to 95 percent below the FCC limit. These cases are patented and developed by scientists out of MIT, Princeton, Harvard and UCLA.
So here’s your chance to win one of these sleek, great-looking cases for your smart phone. You choose the case that fits your smart phone. Fill out the Rafflecopter form below.

This would be great to win. It’s a nice looking case and would have added benefit for our family.
Would love to win this and reduce radiation! And it even looks nice
I just got my first smart phone a few days ago, so just started thinking about this. Would be great to have this case.
I try not to use it when the baattery is low because I heard it has more radiation during that time
thanks for the chance!
This is such a great idea. I don’t let the children use the cell phone at all, and I use it very little, just because of worrying about this.
Airplane mode when possible!
Wow. Didn’t know these existed! Great!
look great !!
Unfortunately no, but this post/giveaway has gotten me to realize it’s something I need to do.
We put the phone on “airplane mode”.
My family uses Pong Cases, but I could use a new one. It is more than 2 years old and in need of replacing.
Cool! I haven’t heard about these before. Nor have I taken precautions with my phone. :/
I currently don’t take any precautions when using my phone.
I don’t use any special things or precaution either.
No, haven’t used special precaution. But we only have cell phones and I never knew there was a case to protect from this kind of thing.
I have just acquired an Iphone and this is a great idea, I want to get one for my grand daughter who has her ‘phone attached to her ear!!!!
We try to use speakerphone at all times with the kids.
I am currently pregnant so no protection needed yet, but I am protecting my abdomen with a radiation blanket when I’m on my laptop.
This seems like a great product! No kids currently, but would be great to have once my bundle gets here in August!
I don’t currently take any precautions but this giveaway has reminded me that I need to.
This case is a great Idea. I try not to have the phone to close to my body (like in the pockets of clothes)
My husband has a Pong case but I could use one!
He’s still too small and I wouldn’t let him
Play with my phone
Would love to win for my hubby!
Eek! After reading the article in the latest issue, we’re definitely making some changes around here, esp. with a baby in the house.
I had one of these awesome Pong cases for my last phone! It felt great knowing that the phone was safer. I sometimes put the phones on airplane mode now when the kids play on them, or when I sleep.
Not as many as I should, this is an eye opener for sure!
I would love one of these cases. I have been worried about smart phone radiation for a while.
I don’t really let my son talk on my cell phone. We are military, so we frequently flip through family photos on it or Facetime with friends and family. If he used the phone to talk, it’s our landline. However, I didn’t choose this as a means of preventing exposure, but as a way to save money on wireless plan. I’m glad that my trying to save money has paid off ten fold in limiting his exposure to the cell phone. That said, having a Pong case would be even more reassuring, even for us adults.
Greate product….love it
Great product!
Yes, we take precautions. Mainly, we don’t treat the phone like a toy. My daughter doesn’t play on it, and we keep it away when not in use.
This looks like a great product.
I try to always use the speaker phone, don’t carry cell in my pocket, and minimize having it touch my body
I don’t let my kids use my cell phone for too long, but other than that I don’t take any current precautions. I need to start thinking about that though!
