Are you worried about radiation or signal strength? Pong Research has got you covered with their Pong Case. They produce cases for a handful of Android smartphones and today I will be showing the Soft Touch Pong case for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM). This case is no ordinary case, this is a premium case that is built to last and protect from not only what you can see but also what you can’t.

Cell phone radiation is a growing concern among scientists and consumers. Pong Research has created this case to attend to those needs. Pong Research has embedded an antenna that helps redirect the radiation away from your head. The radiation in turn has a better chance to communicating with the tower which helps to optimize your signal strength. Plus, for those that didn't know when you device has trouble connecting to a tower it actually consumes more battery to continuously re-attempt to connect. So not only does it help with radiation, signal strength, but also helps conserve battery. Oh and I almost forgot it is an awesome looking case that provides great protection.

The case itself is well built and can take a beating. The graphite black finish is soft to the touch and easy to grip. The overall finish and design is stylish making it a great compliment to the Galaxy Nexus. There are two models of this cases that fits the GSM & Verizon models. The Pong case for the Verizon model fits the Galaxy Nexus with or without the extended battery. There are cutouts for every port and physical button on the Pong Case for the Galaxy Nexus.

Price for a Pong Case goes for $59.99 through Pong Research. Hefty prices for a case but do not forget there are others out there just as expensive. This provides more than physical protection and gives those that are worried about radiation peace of mind. For more details, testing, and certification can be found below. Do you think cellphone radiation is something to worry about?

Testing & Certifications:

Due to testing equipment limitations it was hard to test myself these claims. However, through some research WIRED.com published their finding and stated that "Pong’s claims seem to be legitimate: Its case reduces the amount of radiation going from the iPhone into your head to a third of what it would be without the case. Contrary to what we initially wrote on the Pong case, it does appear to work." Pong Research has been certified by CETECOM and RF Exposure Labe. Both of which are "recognized TBC (Telecommunication Certification Body) capable of issuing FCC approvals. CETECOM and RF Exposure Labs perform SAR measurements according to US, Canadian, European, and Australian standards for devices operating within the frequencies of 800MHz and 6GHRz. Such standards are accepted in most countries in the world. Visit theCETECOM and RF Exposure Lab websites for more information."
