Lockable phone pouches · Australian owned

Phones in the cubby.
People present.

PhoneCubby gives every phone its own pouch. Students and guests keep their own phone, sealed and silent, until it's time to open up. Built for Australian classrooms, gigs, weddings and workplaces.

How it works

Ten seconds at the door. Hours of quiet after.

  1. Phone in

    Each person slides their own phone into a PhoneCubby pouch. Nobody hands over their device, so there's no lost-property stress.

  2. Click it shut

    The magnetic pin locks the pouch. The phone stays with its owner, in a bag or pocket, but can't be used.

  3. Tap to open

    At the bell or the encore, a tap on the unlocking base releases the pin. Bases sit at exits, classrooms or the front office.

The pouches

Two pouches. Pick how quiet you need it.

Both lock with the same magnetic pin and open on the same base, so you can mix them in one rollout.

Questions

Things schools and venues ask

What happens in an emergency?

Staff carry a portable unlocking base, and every exit point can have one. Families can always reach students through the school office, as they would during class time.

Can a student force a pouch open?

Not without visible damage. A forced pouch is easy for staff to spot, and numbered pouches make it simple to see whose it is.

Does Victoria require pouches?

No. From Term 1, 2027 devices must be switched off and put away during school hours in all Victorian schools. Pouches are one way to do that. Others include lockers and front-office collection. Many schools prefer pouches because students keep their own phone.

Do we need the signal-blocking version?

Most classrooms don't. Cubby Quiet suits exams, performances, smart watches and places where any buzz or transmission is a problem.

How long do the pouches last?

They're designed for daily school use across multiple years. We sell replacements individually so you never need to rebuy a full set.
