How It Works

A simple, effective system to help students stay focused throughout the school day.

1

Insert

At the start of each school day, students slide their mobile phone into the Clario pouch. The pouch fits all common smartphone sizes comfortably.

2

Lock

The pouch is secured using our magnetic locking mechanism. Once locked, the built-in Faraday technology blocks all wireless signals to and from the phone.

3

Learn

With their phone secured and signal-free, students can fully engage in their lessons. The pouch stays with the student throughout the day.

4

Unlock

At the end of the school day, the pouch is unlocked using the school's secure unlock mechanism and students retrieve their phone.

The Technology Behind Clario

Faraday Shielding

Each Clario pouch contains a layer of conductive material that creates a Faraday cage around the phone. This blocks all electromagnetic signals — including WiFi, cellular data, and Bluetooth — ensuring the phone cannot send or receive any communications while secured.

Secure Locking System

The pouch features a secure magnetic lock that can only be released by the school's authorised unlock stations. These can be configured to unlock at set times or on demand by staff, giving schools complete control.

Built to Last

The pouch is constructed from water-resistant neoprene with reinforced stitching and a padded interior to protect students' phones. Each pouch is designed to last a full academic year with daily use.
