Lockable phone pouch rental in New York City

Q: How quickly can pouches be delivered in New York?

Depending on the event, we recommend placing orders two to four weeks before your event date, though rush delivery options may be available for short-notice bookings. For events over 1,000 attendees and for custom branded pouches, we require six weeks' notice. Local NYC delivery means short-notice bookings are often workable, so ask.

Comparing phone pouch options in New York

Yondr operates nationally from Los Angeles and runs a large education program alongside its events business. Phone Locker ships from Australia and the UK. Lockabl dispatches from London and Manchester. All three use a fully sealed pouch, which means a guest who needs their phone has to leave the room and find a staffed station.

Before The Internet offers local rental with a Semi-Frosted pouch, so a guest can take a call or pay at the bar without unlocking, while both camera lenses stay covered. See the full comparison against Yondr, Lockabl and Phone Locker.
