Mitch and Savanna Bain are a husband and wife team that have a passion for raising awareness of the distracted driving epidemic. This epidemic is plaguing our roads and is taking 11 lives a day.



They took on this challenge in 2016, but brought more passion to the cause recently when Savanna and 3 of their children were hit by a distracted driver. Savanna and their children were lucky to walk away with minor injuries, and now use this incident as personal evidence that drivers need to use a CellSlip.

After the crash, Mitch found a material that would block every signal to a cellular phone, and shortly after, designed the first CellSlip pouch. Savanna and Mitch want CellSlip in the hands of as many drivers as possible and are confident it will save many lives. Whether you are buying a CellSlip for your teen driver, yourself, or for your organization, we want to thank you for joining us in the mission to save lives!



Mitch and Savanna

isnt this against some fcc law and could endanger people if you leave your phone in the "slip" and get hurt or something?

i have to say i agree with this initiative: people shouldnt stick their phones up their butts. a case is a much better place for it

why not tell people to turn their phones off, isn't that a much saner version of the same idea

oh wait, i guess "turning your phone off" isn't a product that they can profit from

How will they know the bag blocks the cell phone signal? You can't see the screen when it's in the bag!

The ol' butt method has the same issue.

I'm not sure if the light in my fridge goes out when I close the door either. :tinfoil:

every few months my grandma sees a news story about those drat kids texting and driving and she phones me to tell me i should make an electronic thing that blocks all phones from working while you're in the car.

i told her that it was illegal to jam cell phones and she said "well it shouldn't be if it's on your own property" and i guess i can't really argue with that logic

but imho the real problem is idiots with such poor impulse control that they can't wait until they're stopped to take a text, and those are the same people who would never use this because "what if it's important"
