Introduction

The Universal Cell Wrap takes advantage of user's own cell phone speaker without Bluetooth, wires or earpieces. It works with any/all cell phones. It clips (easy on/off) to any seat belt. It is practically invisible when in use. It can also be used as just a holder for cell phones & MP3 players.

The materials used are leather, metal, see-through plastic and Velcro.

What I Learned

The website says the Universal Cell Wrap has a lifetime warranty. The package says 6 months limited warranty for mechanical and material problems. (Return with $8.25 for replacement.)

I was given a red seatbelt material Wrap Strap with Velcro, but I found I can only use it "under the collar", because the iPhone is heavy enough that it causes the Wrap Strap to slide down my frontside.

I also found with the iPhone, that I really need to remove it from the leather holder I use, so the Universal Cell Wrap will center in the back where the well-made rotate-360-degree clip is located.

On the Roneale website, there is a "12-Facts" page dedicated to Cellphone health and dirty power emissions. It may just be enough information to keep you away from cellphones permanently.

If that doesn’t do it, the next tab goes to "Cover-Up Risk?", which is a reprint from an article written by Byron J. Richards, "Truth in Wellness", from April 16, 2008, discussing the health advisory on Mobile Phones and Brain Tumors and that may do the trick!

I'm suggesting that these articles are intended to make us think twice about putting the cellphone next to our ear for extended periods of time. They have merit, but I do not think that those "dirty power" articles will sell a lot of "Universal Cell Wraps". Cellphone overuse is not healthy. Maybe the Universal Cell Wrap will help us from getting brain tumors. Or not.

If I happen to answer a call on my iPhone while driving in the state of Washington, I'm not supposed to have either headphones or earphones or a cellphone against my ear. I can get ticketed. Supposedly, the Universal Cell Wrap will allow me to talk on the iPhone in a hands-off mode. I drive that Hydrogen Hybrid diesel heavy-duty van. It is loud inside because there is only metal between me and the road. No wall insulation of any kind. I find it rather difficult to have a phone conversation as it is.

The Universal Cell Wrap might be a good hands-off solution for road-warriors that use vehicles that pick up less road noises than my current situation involves.

BYW, I can use the unit with the iPhone. The transparent plastic does not hinder performance.

Conclusion

Using the state laws as a reason for using this device has merit. Using brain-tumor studies as a reason, does not. It is still a great cellphone holder and using a seatbelt strap to anchor too, is a good idea.

Note: If they added a nape-grapper to the red, black or blue cellphone lanyards made from seatbelt material, guys could wear them without having to tuck them in under their collars.
