SLNT Alternative | The Faraday Bag Compared

Looking for an SLNT alternative? Here's an honest side-by-side. SLNT (slnt.com), the "Silent Pocket" brand, runs a broad lifestyle range — backpacks, wallets, and apparel — built around their Multishield® lining. We're a focused, value signal-blocking brand with leather key-fob pouches and fire-resistant fiberglass bags.

Price & Material, Side by Side

	SLNT	The Faraday Bag
Entry phone bag	$44.95 (Waterproof Faraday Phone Bag)	$17.95 fireproof pouch (in stock) / $14.99 phone bag
Fireproof stated?	Not stated	Fire-resistant fiberglass shell (no fire certificate)
Key fob pouch	$21.95, 500D weatherproof polyester	$15.99 leather / $29.99 2-pack
Published RF lab cert	Yes — MIL-STD-188-125-2, 100,000:1 reduction	Fabric-sample test, 10 MHz–1.5 GHz (not a finished bag)

Where SLNT Wins

• Range — far more than bags: backpacks, wallets, apparel, all with shielding built in.
• Published RF-attenuation cert — they state a MIL-STD compliance and a 100,000:1 signal-reduction figure; we don't publish an RF number.
• Lifestyle design — pieces built to look like everyday carry, not gear.

Where We're the Better Fit

• Price — our in-stock fireproof pouch is $17.95 vs SLNT's $44.95 phone bag.
• Fire-resistant shell — our fiberglass bags add a fire-resistant outer layer.
• Leather key-fob pouch — leather rather than 500D polyester.

The Honest Part: Shielding Certifications

This is the section most "alternative" pages skip. SLNT publishes a named, independent RF-attenuation lab certification for their shielding fabric (MIL-STD-188-125-2 compliance with a stated 100,000:1 signal reduction ratio). Our published test pack has a lab shielding test of our conductive fabric by the Beijing Institute of Radio Metrology & Measurement — on a fabric sample, not a sealed bag, and only from 10 MHz to 1.5 GHz, below Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and most cellular bands. (Its SGS fire test was on our leather, not on the fiberglass bags.) If a finished-product test across those bands is your deciding factor, that's a genuine point in SLNT's favor today, and we'd rather say so than dodge it.

Our In-Stock Lineup

• Universal Signal-Blocking Pouch — $9.95, the least expensive signal-blocking pouch here (phone or key fob).
• Double-Layer Fireproof Shielding Pouch — $17.95, a fireproof organizer for phone, cards & documents — still cheaper than every fireproof/phone option the other brands list.
• Fireproof Waterproof Faraday Bag — $37.95, fits a phone up to a laptop, fireproof + waterproof.
• Leather Faraday Key Fob Pouch — $15.99 (or 2-pack $29.99), genuine leather rather than nylon or polyester.
