ySky Portable Phone Lock Box with Timer for iPhone and Android Phones, Self-Control Timed Phone Jail Locker to Help Kids,Students, Adults Focus Back, Unplug from Phones Boost Your Mental Wellness

It’s been years since originally buying it and it still works great!!

This is a wonderful way to outsource your willpower—if you have the willpower to place the phone in the box. However, I find it to be flimsy so you have to restrain yourself from breaking it open. Give the plastic an illusion of power and pretend it cannot be opened. Great value! Very easy to use! Placing it face down is the most effective because I found I worked around it too much with the holes face up. Good luck on your screen time control journey!! Worth a shot to see if this tool works.

I have been using this to enjoy more quality and focus better at work. Unfortunately today I accidentally locked it for 18 hours and realized i ran out of emergency unlocks. Previous solutions showed you could removed the battery to reset this feature but my 2023 model does not have that easy option as the battery cables are not removable. To get my phone out i had to remove the locking gear (second photo) and move the lock up to release then put everything back together. You will need special screw drivers made for electronics such as iphones. This solution will not reset you 5 emergency unlocks.

I had to buy this a second time because the driver delivered to the wrong address initially 😡. The product is really good. Sturdy, uncomplicated, locks tight, not hard to figure out and does the job. My teen son who has ADHD (poor impulse control) is still able to be on the phone talking with his friends without having access to social mediaall night long. I dont have the energy to have the "give me the phone" battle every night. I think that because the phone is still in his possession he feels good about the process. There is no hassle about locking it up and he wakes up rested and ready for school. I notice he is on the phone alot less during the day. His mood is better (probably because he is sleeping) and overall I'm embarrassed to need the device but not too proud to admit We needed the device.

People tend to chalk this item up for those who lack self discipline, but limiting your access to the phone actually frees up your self discipline reserve for more important things. The ability to lock your phone face down, where you can truly ignore it, or face up, granting some, albeit difficult, access, is perfect for me. The timer before locking is great as well, gives me a chance to realize i actually need to do one more thing first beforehand. I set up my Bluetooth headphones too so I can still take calls and play music through Siri, and having limited-use ICE access code prevents me from hacking into every time since I need to save those for emergencies. After two years, the plastic hinges broke from normal wear and tear, got a lot of use, and I will be buying this again because it is such a great product

It worked well for a few weeks / months. Then, I put a timer for 25 minutes and saw it count down from 25 minutes to 24:59, 24:58, etc. When I came back (after about an hour and a half) to collect my phone, the timer was counting down from 80 hours. I had to slide my phone out by physically pulling one corner enough for it to slide out. I tried again, and same issue. I can’t seem to contact the company to find a fix (and the troubleshooting doesn’t have a solution to this issue). Money wasted / can’t trust the device again.

I bought one (transparent cover) as I couldn’t keep my smartphone away from myself before going to bed which frequently led me to watching YouTube shorts for hours. After getting this product, I locked my phone for the sleeping hours and it helped me so much with sleeping enough hours, getting up early in the morning. The quality of life has improved. I also used it for studying time. I can still answer calls if needed but kept me from watching YouTube shorts, which helped me alot. Please try it.

This really is a great lock box for the phone. Once you set the time and it locks NOBODY can open it till the time is complete not even the parents. There is no override option. I love it. The kids not so much, lol.

Works great to restrict device usage, gives you total freedom instead of having to fight yourself. However, there is a bug or perhaps a feature that the store page did not mention and i saw one other reviewer mention, once a timer is set, you can easily override it by clicking the up hour button about 10 times in quick succession, which made me think that the product was useless. Just before returning it however i tested it again and found that it disappeared. It seems that this override feature only works about 4-5 times and then turns off, as in you cant override it again ever. So i would recommend finishing all the override chances asap to make it actually work as intended, after that its a great device, almost refunded it but now its perfect.

I received the product it looks exactly like the picture and it’s helpful

Lo he usado por poco más de dos semanas y me ha ayudado a reducir el mal hábito de perder horas scrolleando videos cortos. Antes pasaba horas viendo este tipo de contenido; ahora dedico menos de 30 minutos al día, entre otras mejoras. El único inconveniente que encontré es que la tapa del seguro parece frágil, como si pudiera romperse fácilmente con un poco de fuerza o tras una caída. Sin embargo, mientras no se necesite para uso rudo, cumple bien su función.

Item works excellent and how it's advertised. Helps with kids for timing out phone time. Highly recommend. Has a timeout to stop it from locking if you accidentally hit lock (5 seconds)

I personally used this as a deterrent from me using my phone excessively, and to a degree it does work. The construction and build quality is not great; plastics are thin and it wouldn't take much force to break the thing open if one tried. It is however very easy to use, and seems to have good battery life in that I haven't needed to charge it since receiving it, which is impressive. It's a great way to take a break from devices, but only if you can be honest about it and not challenge the weak lock and structure of it.
