Rent or buy

Everything you need to run a phone-free event

Already have a quote from Yondr, Lockabl or Phone Locker? Send it over and we will beat it.

Pouches that leave the venue locked, or come back damaged, carry a replacement fee per pouch. It is on the quote, and it is waived where a safety emergency meant phones could not be depouched.

Which pouch to rent

Semi-Frosted

One side frosted, screen visible

Cameras covered, screen visible. Calls, texts and Apple Pay work through the panel without unlocking. Face ID does not.

Rent it for: concerts, festivals, nightclubs, comedy shows, weddings, campus events, anything over a few hundred adults.

Fully Sealed

Opaque on both sides

No panel, no access, no exceptions except at a staffed unlocker station.

Rent it for: album listening parties, closed sets, test screenings, product reveals, anything under NDA.

Not sure which? Tell us how secret the event needs to be and we will tell you. Or see how both compare to Yondr, Lockabl and Phone Locker.

Your phone policy

How locked-down does your event need to be?

Start with the goal. If you want a better room, lock the cameras and leave the phone usable. If something cannot leak, lock everything that records.

Level 1

Presence

A room that is actually watching the show.

Lock away: phone cameras

Pouch: Semi-Frosted. Calls, texts and Apple Pay still work.

Good for: concerts, comedy, weddings, dinners, campus events.

Level 2

Privacy

Nothing said or shown in the room ends up online.

Lock away: phones and camera glasses

Pouch: Semi-Frosted or Fully Sealed, depending on the room.

Good for: corporate offsites, VIP areas, brand previews, private parties.

Level 3

Full embargo

Zero access until the doors open.

Lock away: phones, camera glasses and smart watches

Pouch: Fully Sealed, opened only at an unlocker station.

Good for: listening parties, closed sets, test screenings, product reveals, anything under NDA.

Buying outright

Venues running a recurring phone-free night usually buy after their second or third rental, because at that point ownership is cheaper than paying per event forever.

A custom phone pouch with your logo on it is the most-held object in the room. Custom branded phone pouches carry your logo, a sponsor's logo, or both, silk-screened onto the panel that every guest holds all night. Custom colours are available for enterprise accounts and recurring venue contracts. Print production adds six weeks, so plan the order around your season rather than a single date.

Pouches to purchase

 

Booking timeline

Standard rental

Two to four weeks before your event date. Inside that window, ask about a rush before you assume it is too late.

Large and custom orders

Six weeks for events over 1,000 attendees and for any custom branded pouch, because the sponsor panel is printed.

Staffing

Booked with the pouches. Plan on a minimum of two designated pouch staff per 100 attendees.
