Those "little tabs" for cellphone make my blood boil.
The ones I have seen (and belive me, we have watched this product for many years) are supported by one of two types of bogus research: 1] the package has a thermal image of a face after using a cellphone, showing that it is quite warm; and a thermal image of a face after using a celphone with the device... and it seems noticably cooler. But what about the before pictures??? Even though I have requested before pictures well over a dozen times from various sources, they never materialize. 2] a 6 x 6 inch piece of the shielding material used to make the "little tabs" is tested in a laboratory set up and shown to be effective at shielding microwaves. Therefore, the (flase) conclusion is that a very small piece of this material stuck to your phone will deliver the same shielding performance. That is like believing that since light will not penetrate a brick wall, you will be in total shade if you hold a brick over your head. I believe the lawsuits regarding these products have previously been discussed in this group.
