FAQ
What is a Lockabl® pouch?
A Lockabl® Pouch is a secure, padded pouch designed to keep smartphones locked away during events, ensuring attendees stay focused and fully engaged. Made from waterproof neoprene, the pouch protects devices from the elements while keeping them safe.
With its quick-lock mechanism, the pouch can only be opened using the companion Pouch Unlocker, ensuring devices remain securely locked throughout the event. The pouch is compatible with all major smartphone sizes and includes a lanyard hook, allowing it to be worn around the neck or attached to a bag. It’s the ideal solution to help maintain the exclusivity and magic of your event, while reducing distractions for both performers and the audience.
How does it work?
The Lockabl Pouch works with a simple but effective locking system. When attendees arrive at your event, they place their smartphone inside the pouch. Once the pouch is sealed, it locks instantly with a built-in quick-lock mechanism, ensuring the device stays safely secured. The only way to unlock the pouch is with the companion Pouch Unlocker, which is held by event staff or placed at designated unlocking stations.
While locked, attendees keep their phones on them throughout the event thanks to the pouch’s handy lanyard hook, meaning they can attach it to a bag or hang it in a cloakroom. This way, they have peace of mind knowing their phone is safe and protected but inaccessible, allowing them to stay present and enjoy the event without distractions. At the end of the event, simply visit an unlocking station to have the pouch reopened and retrieve your phone. It’s an easy and secure way to enhance the overall experience.
Which devices do the pouches work with?
The Lockabl Pouches are compatible with all major mobile phone brands and models, including both iPhones and Android devices, regardless of size.
Whether you have the latest large-screen smartphone or a more compact model, the pouch is designed to fit comfortably and securely. In addition, the pouches also accommodate smartwatches, ensuring all your tech remains safely locked away during the event.
With their versatile design, Lockabl Pouches are perfect for securing a wide range of devices, allowing you to enjoy the moment without any distractions.
How do I unlock my device?
To unlock your device from the Lockabl Pouch, you’ll need to use the companion Pouch Unlocker, which is managed by event staff. At the end of the event, or if you need access to your phone, simply visit one of the designated unlocking stations.
A staff member will use the Unlocker to quickly and securely release your device from the pouch. The system ensures that only authorised personnel can unlock the pouches, keeping your phone safe and secure throughout the event while ensuring a seamless unlocking process when it’s time to retrieve your device.
What if I need access to my phone during an event?
If you need to access your phone during an event, simply ask the venue or event staff, and they can provide access to a Pouch Unlocker at designated unlocking stations. You’ll be able to step outside the event space to use your phone.
However, to maintain the integrity of the event, attendees won’t be allowed back into the event space until their phone is returned to the pouch and locked again. This helps ensure that everyone can enjoy the experience without distractions.
Will the pouch damage my phone?
No, the Lockabl Pouch is designed to protect, not damage, your phone. The pouch is made from high-quality padded neoprene, which cushions your device, keeping it safe from knocks, drops, and scratches. It’s also waterproof, so your phone is shielded from the elements.
The locking mechanism securely holds the pouch shut without coming into contact with the device itself, ensuring your phone remains in perfect condition throughout the event.
I forgot to get my phone unlocked. What should I do?
If you’ve left the event without unlocking your phone from the Lockabl Pouch, don’t worry! Simply contact the event or venue organisers as soon as possible. They will arrange for you to return to the venue or provide details on how and where you can access a Pouch Unlocker.
While it’s always best to unlock your phone before leaving the event, the organisers will help ensure you can regain access to your device promptly.
