Novelty idea but not necessarily practical
This is a cute idea for like a game night but obviously not practical if you’re trying to use it for your children. The lock and key are pretty flimsy and could easily be broken. Also I have a new iPhone max and my phone barely fit inside. I had to put it sideways. So I can’t imagine for a game night being able to put multiple larger phones in here. Maybe if you got creative.

Nice idea depending on use
This product arrived fully assembled and ready to use. The materials were unexpected as it is made of plastic, but it has six slots to hold phone of average size comfortably and includes a small lock with two keys (think small journal or diary style) and an instruction sheet with directions for disassembling the jail. While I love the concept and it would be great to use for meals with family or friends to encourage conversation it would NOT work as an actual “phone jail” if you were taking away a child’s phone privileges since they could likely just break it apart to retrieve it.

Help! My iPhone is in jail!
This is a neat little gadget. It can be used as a joke or for more practical purposes, such as having a party without phones or some much-needed unplugging time. There are two keys and a small lock included, but if those get lost, then the jail can also be disassembled.

phone jail
This is a fun way to teach your children to keep their hands off their phone for a while to be more productive. The lock that came with this looks cheap. If you are serious, you might want to replace the lock with a much better combo luggage lock.

Cute idea
This phone jail is great for putting phones in during meals, family time, etc, but definitely not sturdy enough to keep phones locked up for consequences. It’s flimsy and my 6 year old figured out the key to the lock is the same key as his and his sister’s journals. Cute idea, though

Works great
This phone jail works great for the purpose. I like that this works great for locking up cell phones when you don’t want them being used. This is a fun way to keep my kids phones “locked” up when I don’t want my kids on their phones all of the time. I like that it comes with the two keys. This is big enough to hold big cell phones with no trouble.

Screen Time Management
The phone jail is perfect to help anyone mange screen time. This will ensure your phone is resting easy so you won’t be tempted to use it. The phone jail will help to take a much needed break from the constant distractions of your phone. Very easy to use. I would highly recommend!

Poorly executed
It’s a nice idea but poorly executed. I like that it fits multiple phones, and that it has a lock and key. However, it is very flimsy. Both of my kids could bend it to reach in and get the phone out, even when locked.

Great Concept
What a cute and great concept to come up with when your children need a screen time out from their cell phones. It is easy to use and it is compact in size. It was easy to find a place to put it anywhere in my home.

Box is tougher than the jail inside!
Cute waste of money and space on your desk or something to put stuff in to challenge your toddler or small cat to get. Who am I kidding honestly, this thing is unbelievably fragile. I fit a moto play 2021 and an encased and a caseless Iphone 13 in it for the picture, also holds the iPhone 16 in a basic case that took the pictures.

Love this!
I love this for after dinner time! It can hold up to 6 phones and keeps my kids from being tempted to try and check their phones. It gives 2 keys in case you lose one too! Great product and quality!!!

Novelty item; nonfunctional as a cellphone jail
You can use the lock to lock the door, but the jail is flimsy and the entire thing can be taken apart which renders it useless if you intend to actually use the product as a cellphone jail. The entire top comes off even when locked, so it can’t actually be used.
