On a phone, swipe the table sideways to see every column.

Sizes are interior dimensions as listed on each product page. Measure your device (in its case, if you’ll keep it in one) before choosing.

Faraday bag FAQ

How do I test a Faraday bag?

Faraday Defense’s basic test: seal a phone inside the bag and call it. If the call doesn’t go through, the bag is working. Close the bag the way the model is designed to close; most need a double fold before the hook-and-loop, magnets or clips are fastened, and any opening (even a cable sticking out) can let signal leak in. This test is for the signal-blocking NX3, JACKET and DRY bags. NEST-Z bags are EMP storage bags and don’t block cell signals, so a phone will still ring inside one.

Is airplane mode the same as a Faraday bag?

No. According to Faraday Defense, airplane mode turns signals off in software while the hardware stays active; a sealed Faraday bag blocks signals physically.

What’s the difference between NX3 and JACKET bags?

Both use triple-layer CYBER NC fabric. Faraday Defense describes NX3 as having no outer shell or card pocket, while JACKET bags add a rugged exterior and a card pocket. JACKET Pro bags use CORDURA® nylon and a magnetic closure.

Can I store electronics in a Faraday bag long-term?

Yes. Faraday Defense recommends testing bags used for long-term storage once a year, keeping them dry, and keeping them away from sharp or abrasive objects. For EMP-only storage of spares, NEST-Z bags are heat-sealable and suitable for vacuum packing.

Do you ship across Canada?

Yes. We ship Canada-wide. Standard shipping is a flat $20 per order by Canada Post Regular Parcel (tracked), and it is free on orders of $250 or more (after discounts, before tax).
