Abstract: A personal communication device (“PCD”) holder including (i) a first housing portion including a material that causes the first housing portion to be data signal blocking; (ii) a second housing portion including a material that causes the second housing portion to be data signal blocking; and (iii) a data signal blocking gasket fitted to at least one of the first and second housing portions, the gasket positioned and arranged such that when the first and second housing portions are mated together to form an enclosure about the PCD, the data signal blocking gasket engages and seals to the other of the first and second housing portions to ensure that the enclosure is completely data signal blocking regardless of whether imperfections are present in an interface between the mated first and second portions.

Abstract: A personal communication device (“PCD”) holder includes: an at least semi-rigid housing having a base wall and at least one side wall extending from the base wall so as to form a housing into which a user can place a PCD, the base wall and the at least one side wall including a conductive material so that the base wall and the at least one side wall bock are data signal blocking; and a lid configured to be moveable with respect to the housing so as to enable the user to (i) place the PCD into the housing and (ii) securely and releasably close the lid onto the housing, the lid also including a conductive material so that when the lid is closed onto the housing, the holder is data signal blocking, preventing a data signal from reaching the PCD.
