Ultra Armor® Shielding

Advanced, Flexible RF Protection for Soft-Sided Applications

  • Frequency Range RF (10 kHz - 2.5 THz)
  • Performance Advanced Protection
  • Flexibility Semi-Flexible
  • Best Application Best for when you don’t want to use a permanent EMF-blocking case for your device, but would still like protection when occasionally keeping your devices close by or on your body. Can be used with a range of small wireless devices for more versatility, and can store other accessories. Alternatively, when you wish to shield devices fully in a Faraday bag to block wireless RF hacking and EMP attacks, when your device is not in use in a public place or during travel.

Good to know
  The EMF shielding is built into the back panel only and provides directional protection. Keep the back of the bag against your body so the shielded panel sits between your devices and your torso. Place your phone and electronic devices in the main compartment or front pockets — not in the hidden back zipper pocket, which sits between the shielding and your body (storing a device there means the shielding is not between your phone and your body). Your phone stays fully connected inside the bag — calls, texts, and notifications come through normally. For complete signal blocking, see the DefenderShield Cell Phone Faraday Bag.

Description

Carry Your Phone with a Shielding Layer Between It and Your Body

🛡 Ultra Armor® Back Panel — Up to 99% Directional RF Shielding

The back panel of the crossbody bag is lined with Ultra Armor® shielding. When the bag sits against your body with the back panel facing your torso, the shielding blocks up to 99% of wireless RF radiation from your stored devices before it reaches you. The frequency range extends up to 2.5 THz, covering WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, NFC, cellular, and all three 5G bands including high-band mmWave. Your phone, tablet, or other wireless devices remain fully connected inside the bag — calls, texts, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS all function normally. The shielding is directional: it blocks radiation heading toward your body through the back panel while allowing signals to pass through the front and sides.

Five Pockets — Organized, Accessible, and RFID-Protected

💼 Main Compartment + Front Zipper + Open Pocket + Hidden Back Pocket + Water Bottle

The main zipper compartment holds your phone and everyday essentials with mesh interior pockets for organizing small items. The front zipper pocket includes 4 RFID-blocking card slots for credit cards, IDs, and access passes — protecting card data from wireless skimming — plus its own mesh interior pocket. The front open pocket gives quick access to keys, lip balm, or anything you grab frequently. A hidden back zipper pocket behind the shielding panel is designed for your passport, cash, or documents — safe from pickpocketing. And a concealed water bottle pocket runs vertically along the back with an adjustable top band, fitting bottles up to 3.75” in diameter without adding visible bulk.

Wear It Left or Right — Adjustable Crossbody Design

🧩 D-Ring Shoulder Switch + 37” Adjustable Strap + Comfort Pad

The strap adjusts up to 37” with a clip-on D-ring at the bottom that lets you switch between left and right shoulder orientation. Clip onto the right D-ring (when looking at the back of the bag) to wear the strap on your left shoulder with the bottom strap wrapping under your right arm — or clip onto the left D-ring for the opposite configuration. A shoulder strap comfort pad distributes weight during extended wear. The strap attaches with a durable plastic buckle.

Water-Resistant Nylon — Built for Daily Carry and Travel

☔ Durable, Lightweight, Minimalist Design

The exterior is water-resistant nylon with reinforced stitching and high-quality zippers. At 10.2 oz and 8.75” × 6.25” × 1”, the bag is slim enough for commuting, travel, and everyday errands without feeling bulky. The neutral black finish works with both casual and professional outfits. Compatible with phones up to 8”, including current models from Apple, Samsung, Google Pixel, and other major brands.

How to Use

    Getting Started

    1. Adjust the strap. Set the strap to your preferred length (extends up to 37”). Use the clip-on D-ring at the bottom of the strap to set your shoulder preference: clip to the right D-ring to wear on your left shoulder, or clip to the left D-ring to wear on your right shoulder.

    2. Load the bag. Place your phone and electronic devices in the main compartment or front pockets. Slide credit cards and IDs into the 4 RFID-blocking slots in the front zipper pocket. Store your passport, cash, or sensitive documents in the hidden back zipper pocket.

    3. Wear it with the back panel against your body. The Ultra Armor shielding is in the back panel. When the bag hangs against your torso, the shielding sits between your devices and your body. This is the correct orientation for directional EMF protection.

    For Maximum RF Reduction

    • Keep the shielded back against your body. The shielding is directional — it blocks radiation heading from your devices through the back panel toward your torso. If the bag is turned around with the front facing your body, the shielding is no longer between your device and your body, offering no body protection.

    • Do NOT store electronic devices in the hidden back pocket. The Ultra Armor shielding is in the backside of the largest pocket. Therefore, any device placed in the hidden back pocket would not have the EMF-blocking shielding in between your body and your device.Use that pocket for non-electronic items only: passport, cash, documents.

    • For hands-free calls, pair with Air Tube Earbuds. Connect DefenderShield Air Tube Earbuds to your phone, keep the phone in the bag, and accept calls from the earbud controller. The phone stays shielded in the bag while you talk and listen through the earbuds.

    Water Bottle Pocket

    Locate the vertical zipper on the back of the bag running from top to bottom. Unzip and pull out the fabric lining to reveal the water bottle pocket. Slide in a bottle up to 3.75” in diameter and adjust the top band to secure it..

    Care Instructions

    • Spot clean the exterior with a damp cloth as needed.

    • Do not machine wash or tumble dry — the shielding layer can be damaged.

    • Avoid bending or puncturing the internal shielding fabric.

    • Keep zippers free of debris for smooth operation.

    Lots of pockets for nearly all the things I used to carry in all the pockets of cargo shorts. High quality. I wish it were 1"x1" bigger and I wish the small pocket on the front had a zipper because I have nothing I want to carry in it that I am willing to risk falling out.

    I LOVE this bag! It was perfect for my international trip, I was able to carry my passport, water, phone, and snacks while walking around without feeling like I had a bulky backpack, and while feeling safe from EMF from my phone.

    I love the size of the bag and that it fits my kindle and my sunglasses and it has a water bottle holder. It will be great for my Alaska land tour and cruise!

    Perfect for being out all day!

    I own the DefenderShield Hip Pack (in both colors now), which I love. However, since I always need water with me for a day out and about, the DefenderShield Crossbody Bag is the perfect solution, with its hidden water bottle pocket. I wore this for two full days at an amusement park, and it fit all the necessities, plus a water bottle. And of course, it blocked the EMF coming from my phone!

    Hi Adelina,

    Thank you so much for the glowing review! We are thrilled to hear that you’ve expanded your DefenderShield collection from the Hip Packs to the Crossbody Bag.

    It’s great to hear that it was the perfect companion for your amusement park trip! We specifically designed that water bottle pocket for long days on the go, so it’s wonderful to know it made your experience more convenient while keeping your phone’s EMF at bay.

    Thank you for being such a loyal part of the DefenderShield community. We look forward to protecting you on your next big adventure!

    Warm regards,

    The DefenderShield Team

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    EMF Protection Crossbody Bag FAQ

    The back panel only. The Ultra Armor shielding is sewn into the back of the bag. When you wear the bag crossbody with the back against your torso, the shielding sits between your devices (inside the bag) and your body. The front, top, bottom, and sides are not shielded. The design is directional so your devices stay fully connected while radiation heading toward your body is reduced.

    No — do not store electronic devices in the hidden back pocket. That pocket sits between the shielding panel and your body. A phone placed there would be closer to your body than the shielding — the shielding would face outward, away from you. Use the hidden back pocket for non-electronic items only: passport, cash, or documents. Place your phone in the main compartment or front pockets, where the shielding is between the device and your body.

    Yes — fully functional. The shielding covers the back panel only. The phone’s antenna communicates through the unshielded front and sides. Calls ring, texts arrive, notifications push, WiFi holds, and Bluetooth stays paired. This is not a Faraday bag — it does not block all signals. For complete signal isolation, see the DefenderShield Cell Phone Faraday Bag.

    Use the clip-on D-ring at the bottom of the strap. When looking at the back of the bag: clip to the right D-ring to wear the strap on your left shoulder (bottom strap wraps under your right arm), or clip to the left D-ring to wear on your right shoulder (bottom strap wraps under your left arm).

    Phones up to 8” in length. That covers current iPhone models, Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel, LG, Motorola, and most other standard-sized smartphones. Measure your phone with its case to confirm it fits within the main compartment dimensions.

    Yes. The 4 card slots in the front zipper pocket are RFID-shielded, blocking the wireless scanning signals used by contactless payment readers and RFID skimmers. Credit cards, debit cards, IDs, and access passes stored in those slots cannot be read wirelessly through the bag.

    The Pouch is a single-purpose phone carrier with one main pocket, a front pocket, and a pen loop — designed to shield and carry just your phone. The Crossbody Bag is a full everyday bag with five compartments, RFID card slots, a hidden water bottle pocket, and room for your phone, wallet, passport, and daily essentials. Both use Ultra Armor directional shielding in the back panel. Choose the Pouch for minimalist phone carry, and the Crossbody Bag when you want to consolidate your daily carry into one shielded bag.

    The concealed pocket fits bottles up to 3.75” (9.5 cm) in diameter. It runs vertically along the back of the bag with a full-length zipper. Pull out the fabric lining, slide in the bottle, and tighten the adjustable top band. The bottle sits flush against the bag without adding visible bulk.
