Cell Phone Lock Box with Timer, Portable Time Lock Box for iPhone and Android Phone, Help to Be Self-Discipline and Focus to Achieve Goals, Prevent Phone Addiction (L, Pink)

Does what it says it does.

I love this! I’m currently working on a relaunch and I’ve been working in my coworking space. I love the quietness of my space but I find myself aimlessly scrolling for minutes to hours and then boom! I look up and time had ran out and I’ve didn’t get any work done……until I I bought this. I select how long I want my phone to stay locked and I use all that time for productivity and then when it beeps to unlock I give my self 10-15mins to aimlessly scroll, answer messages or return phone calls and then I lock it back up. The only thing is that it does feel a little cheap and I can’t put my iPhone 14 in the lockbox with its case, which is a slim case. I have to take it out of the case in order to put it in the lock box

Recently I had an epiphany that I could be so much more productive in my studies and work projects if I just put my phone down, but finding the willpower to not impulsively pick up my phone and check Instagram or Facebook every 5 minutes was difficult. This helps me use the Pomodoro method of studying (lock my phone for 30 minutes and then have a 5 minute reward).The case is easy to use. There is a small button on the side that is spring loaded to open the top of the case. The large black circle is how you set the time, each button press adds 5 minutes, double tap to add an hour, and holding it for 2 seconds starts the timer. There is a safety release option which you can hold for 10 seconds to emergently unlock the box, however you can only use it twice in the product's lifetime. There is a small window to use your phone for calls if needed, and you can also charge your phone while it is in the lock box. I received my lock box with a full battery, and I have been using it for a week without recharging it yet so the battery life seems strong. The product does come with a charging cable and there is a port on the top of the lock box to plug it in.I took off one star for that because I do feel like there is potential for that to be a safety issue, and because my phone does not fit into the box unless I remove the case. I have an iPhone 13, and I have a thin case which technically fits into the lockbox, the issue is that I also have a popsocket attached to the case and when I remove the popsockets and just leave the base/adhesive part it still does not fit. This is just a minor inconvenience for me but those two factors combined are why it is reduced to 4 stars.I highly recommend this product and several of my coworkers have been very impressed by it that they have also ordered it and have expressed how much it has helped them be more focused.TL;DR:Pros: Good battery, multiple time settings, cute colors, well designed product with opening to charge phone or receive calls while locked, will motivate you to study or get work done!Cons: only 2 emergency unlocks in product's lifetime & phone may not fit with a case (definitely will not fit with a pop-socket attachment, even if the pop-socket is removed)

Box died with my phone in it and I had to break it open. Splurge on a higher quality one.

Getting started with using the product is the most difficult part because the operation of the product is not intuitive, even though it is meant to be simple. It involves a series of button presses and holds, which may be confusing if users are accustomed to some other format, such as multiple buttons for different functions. One of the major flaws is that when the battery is low, some of the behavior does not work with certainty. However, on a full charge and once you have understood all the functions, the product works exactly how you think it would.

This "penalty box," (as I had intended to call it) is a great idea, but impractical due to how thin it is. A larger phone in a protective case can BARELY squeeze in, which isn't good for the very basic reason that you could scratch your screen sliding a phone in or out, and I can imagine that getting the phone back out could be tedious. I think I'll use it on my Son's device as opposed to having my dad use it on my niece/his granddaughter's cell phone who is on his wireless plan. (Her's is a much newer and larger phone than his, but they're both on their devices ENTIRELY too much.)I'm glad I left this review, because I might actually be able to make use of this after all.

I don’t usually leave reviews on things I buy on Amazon, but this item has been one of my best purchases this year.As someone with ADHD my phone is one of my biggest distractions and phone addiction has affected everything from my work to personal life for years. I’ve tried apps that lock certain other apps for periods of time but those never worked for me. It was too easy to unlock.This is the only thing that actually works, and ever since I bought this my productivity and attention to detail have improved immensely.GET IT!

I bought it mostly for laughs but quickly figured it is actually worth having especially at work. I tend to get distracted by my phone easily so being able to lock it and not being able to get into it does a lot to my productivity at work. I work overnight shift though, when most of everyone I know is asleep, so I don't get too many phone calls that I need to worry about. Instructions do let you know that while you can override the lock, the box has a limit of two oveerrides total, so you have to use it in emergency cases only.
