Pongs claims to have made a new smartphone case which
would reduce cancer risks by absorbing radiations emitted by cellphones.
It is widely believed that microwave energy emitted by mobile devices is
largely absorbed by the phone users while making calls. The company said
it has resolved the issue by making the case which it said is made of
the same material as a NASA spacecraft.
The Pong case, which is available for a range of different smartphones,
claims to redirect radiation away from the user and reduce exposure by
up to 95 percent.

According to Pong’s Chief Technology Officer, Ryan McCaughey, their
invention doesn’t make mere empty promises to ward off those deadly
radiations, and the case has been rigorously tested to check its
effectiveness
“The scale we base our research is the industry standard of SAR, or
specific absorption rate. All cell phones are measured to this standard,
and what we do is compare the effect of a cellphone on SAR with and
without the Pong case,” the Herald Sun quoted McCaughey as saying.
“Our lab tests, including independent lab tests, which we feel are a
very important validation, show that we reduce SAR by up to 95 percent
below current safety limits.”

But even McCaughey admitted that the case isn’t a complete solution,
because not enough known is yet known about how safe even small levels
of radiation are, ANI reported.
“There’s so far no known safe limit. We can’t say that someone using the
Pong is going to be completely safe from radiation, but we’re of the
feeling that less exposure to radiation is better, and that’s what Pong
is providing,” he said.
