Unbound. The modern standard for secure phone-free spaces.
Unbound magnetic phone pouches reduce distractions and protect privacy across schools, workplaces, and events. Designed to support phone-free environments, they help organisations maintain focus while still ensuring safety, consistency, and trust.
A smarter solution for a connected world.
Secure the pouch. Free the moment.
Purpose
Phones are powerful tools, but in high-focus environments they often undermine attention, safety, and connection. Unbound helps create spaces where people stay present, engaged, and distraction-free.
People
Unbound partners with schools, businesses, and event venues committed to fostering safer, more productive experiences. Our solution empowers educators, leaders, and staff to maintain clear expectations without conflict or constant enforcement.
Proof
Our magnetic locking pouch enables secure, temporary device restriction. Users keep possession of their phones, while unauthorized use is prevented through fast, controlled unlocking stations.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Many schools, venues, and workplaces find that removing mobile distractions improves focus, safety, privacy, and overall behaviour. Phone-free spaces help people stay present, reduce interruptions, and create a more productive and respectful environment.
-
In February 2024, the UK’s Department for Education issued non-statutory guidance recommending that schools prohibit mobile phone use throughout the school day, including at break times.
Schools are expected to reflect this in their behaviour policies. -
A pouch gives schools a practical way to enforce “seen, heard, or used” bans without confiscation or exclusion. According to official guidance, keeping phones secure but in students’ possession is one of the recommended policy models.
Unbound’s pouches let schools follow best practices while respecting students’ ownership and safety. -
By locking away phone use, pouches help reduce classroom distractions and the risk of cyberbullying during school hours. Schools benefit from improved behaviour and focus, while students still retain their devices in a way that doesn’t infringe on property rights or safety.
-
Yes — but Unbound’s design helps mitigate many concerns:
