Protect Your Loved Ones This Christmas


Monkey Girl loves to play with my cell phone.  It is so cute to she her walking around with it held to her ear saying “Hello Papa”!  However, I started to worry the more I read about cell phone radiation.  I am so glad I got a Pong case for my iPhone!

In May 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) classified cell phone radiation as “possibly carcinogenic to humans.”  The WHO based its findings on a large, international study coordinated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer that showed an increased risk of a certain type of brain tumor called glioma from regular use of cell phones – defined in the study as 1,640 hours or more of cumulative use.  In consumer terms, that equates to slightly less than a half hour of daily use over a 10-year period.   Adding to the evidence is a separate 2011 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), which found that 50 minutes of cell phone use affected brain activity in the area nearest to the phone. Concerns about SAR have led the FCC to impose strict SAR limits on cell phones and tablets and mandate that Apple, Blackberry and other cellular device makers warn consumers not to put their cell phone directly against their head or body when using it.   But seriously, how do you use a cell phone without putting it directly against your body?  I guess you could use the speaker phone, but honestly, how often do we do that.

Founded in 2011, Pong Research Corporation is the world’s leading maker of cell phone and iPad cases that protect smart phone and tablet users from the wireless device radiation that the World Health Organization classified in 2011 as a possible carcinogen. Developed by scientists out of Princeton, Harvard, UCLA and MIT, Pong cases have been tested and proven in FCC-certified labs to reduce the level of exposure to wireless device radiation by up to 95% below the target set by the FCC.  Pong embeds in each case a patented and proprietary technology that redirects and redistributes the cell phone radiation that would otherwise be absorbed by the user’s head and body.  Easy to put on and take off, Pong  cases fit a variety of iPhones, BlackBerrys and Android phones as well as the iPad and iPad 2, are available in a variety of colors and styles and have been designed and tested to work anywhere in the world.  For more information, visit www.pongresearch.com.



I do not claim to be a scientist to know how these cases work, or a doctor to know the effects of cell phone radiation.  But as a mom, I will do anything to protect my daughter so I have been using my Pong case for my iPhone as soon as I learned about it!  We have been discussing a family iPad to use for vacations, etc and I will make sure to get a Pong case for that as well.  You can never be too safe!!  Plus they are stylish and keep your phone from slipping!  Get one today to protect your loved ones from those cellular Christmas presents under the tree.  sign up to “like” pong on Facebook
