That's what I use for my hat (Aluminum foil).
Works great.
Haven't been probed by aliens yet.
Yeah, but Hunter...how do you really know *grin*?

I bought one last year that only lasted about ~month before it stopped working (I forgot to take the FOB out of the bag and the door still opened).

So then I purchased a different brand that advertised "3 layers", and now that one stopped working after ~2 months.

That had me considering the GoDark Vault key Fob case. It's double the price of the pouch at $50 ea, getting away from the soft pouch design:

The GoDark Vault - Key Fob Faraday Cage
https://godarkbags.com/collections/...t-key-fob-faraday-cage?variant=44151447781589
View attachment 141745

But before I ordered it, I thought my keeping the keys attached to the FOB while it was in the pouch had possibly contributed to damaging the signal blocking liner.

So the bottom line is, I had an extra unused pouch that I will now test out without the keys attached. I'll keep you posted ...
This is a worthy post. I bought three for the three key Fobs - two pockets. One isn't shielding anymore. I could try lining it with aluminum foil.

I do have two house keys on the Fob that I use the most - they may have damaged the wiring inside the fabric that creates the Farady Cage.

Guess I don't.
There actually is an alien abduction that supposedly happened here with 2 people that worked where I now work.
As an addendum, my father always believed that they were smoking the funny stuff (although they denied any such activity).

these attacks are real and more common than you might think.

Don't know if it actually happened or not, but both maintained there stories up until their deaths.
I've never seen a UFO, but the universe is so big, it's certain that life exists elsewhere.

I’m sure the story of these two people is probably well known?

If alligators and pythons are considered aliens, I'm sure it happens somewhat frequently.

CONTEST: Guess How Many Rolls Of Aluminum Foil It Took To Wrap The Car!

Winner gets all the old foil from the car when the owner has to replace it. :rolleyes:

I don't see why extraterrestrials, who would possess advanced technology to travel enormous distances of interstellar space, would want to come here?

We have large groups of dumb@sses who worship trees and block highways, who then elect chronic bald faced liars who support their delusions.

Yeah, I'd bet the space maps would say "WARNING: You might want to skip this planet"

I wonder how many thousands of people are unknowingly using defective Key Fob Bags?

The companies who make must be aware of the problem. Seems they'd be liable for any losses incurred by their customers ...

Since I like leaving the key in the car, should I carry a Faraday pouch just in case?
And we wonder why insurance companies keep getting their rate increases approved. :unsure::oops:

Same reason we go to zoos.

That must be the new style solid state relays. The old kind was well behaved.

Possible reasons for the visits:

As Hunter mentioned, we're a large open air zoo ..................
We're some advanced species science project gone horribly awry and they're trying to figure out how to rein it back in
Our buttholes are simply irresistible and fascinating (but the Mando woman might F that up for them)

Seriously tho, while I do believe we're not alone in the universe, I don't believe visitors from another world would come here to abduct/experiment on people or animals. When you think about the level of development & knowledge needed for interstellar travel, they would have no need to come here for food, water or minerals. They would have solved those issues eons ago. At best we're a curiosity and they are watching to see if we blow ourselves up or actually 'grow up' and achieve a level worth contacting.

But we "need" to go to the moon and mars?
