Shoulder Strap

Helping Schools Create Phone-Free Classrooms Without Creating New Problems.

Today's schools are working to reduce classroom distractions and improve student engagement. VaultED™ was designed to help make phone-free policies easier to implement without the complexity, cost, or frustration of traditional locking pouches.

Unlike lock-and-key systems that can create bottlenecks at the end of the day and often require dedicated unlocking stations, VaultED™ keeps the process simple. Students securely store their phones during class while maintaining immediate access in the event of an emergency. The result is a solution that promotes focus, respects students, and makes enforcement easier for educators.

Wrapped in our durable CleanShell™ exterior, VaultED™ is built for everyday school use. Integrated RF shielding helps block cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth signals, reducing distractions from calls, messages, notifications, and wireless connectivity throughout the school day. An extra-loud Velcro® closure provides an audible alert if a student attempts to access their phone during class, while a clear ID window makes assigning and managing pouches quick and easy.

Whether clipped to a backpack, carried on an optional lanyard, or stored in a classroom, VaultED™ offers a practical, cost-effective approach to supporting phone-free learning environments, without locks, waiting lines, or unnecessary complexity.

Why Schools Choose VaultED™

• No locks. No bottlenecks. Students retrieve their phones immediately at the end of the day without waiting in line.
• Emergency access when it matters most. Devices remain accessible in unexpected situations without damaging the pouch.
• Encourages responsibility and trust. Supports school policies without creating an adversarial experience for students.
• Lower total cost. A simple, durable design costs a fraction of traditional locking systems while avoiding expensive replacement locks and damaged pouches.

Key Features

• Integrated RF shielding helps block cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth signals to reduce distractions during school hours.
• Extra-loud Velcro® closure provides an audible alert when the pouch is opened.
• CleanShell™ exterior resists dirt, stains, moisture, and everyday wear while wiping clean with ease.
