Cell Phone Safety Products

Hands Free Kits, used properly, can reduce the proportion of the radiation emitted by your cell phone that you absorb.
Some Antenna Radiation Shields may protect you from the radiation emitted by your cell phone, but others are ineffective.

In addition to the Five Steps to Safer Cell Phone Use that you can use to minimise your exposure to cell phone radiation, there are a number of safety products available that claim to make your cell phone safer. If these claims are to be trusted, then even if you have a phone with a low SAR, excellent network coverage in your area, and are using your phone in the safest way possible, there is still more that you can do to protect yourself against cell phone radiation.
Cell phone safety products fall into two main types, hands free kits and antenna radiation shields. While each type of product may help to some degree, there are reasons to be skeptical about the more extravagent claims that are made about their benefits. For each product type, there are not only ways in which they might reduce the risks of cell phone use, but also ways in which they might increase those risks. Those who buy cell phone safety products should therefore be careful. Buy products that have been shown to have beneficial effects in independent testing, and make sure that you know how to use your product effectively.
To read about the potential benefits, and risks, of the two types of cell phone safety product, see the sections on Hands Free Kits and Antenna Radiation Shields respectively.
