Is Off Pocket any different to putting your phone in airplane mode every time you put it in your pocket?
It's certainly more convenient, but also harder on the battery life as the phone continues to search for a signal.

- buro9 13y agoBattery life was talked about on the original Kickstarter campaign: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/offpocket/off-pocket https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/offpocket/off-pocket I never ordered one as I missed the window of opportunity. But it was claimed by the creator and users that battery life was variable depending on the make and model of your phone, and whether you had lots of background apps attempting to do things. The claim was that in some combinations you get better battery life by using Off Pocket, and with others you get worse. Phones don't drain greatly when they don't have a signal. A day riding the tube system between meetings in London doesn't significantly affect my battery life, so I've no reason to believe that Off Pocket would've resulted in a different outcome.
