Works great to keep my focused and concentrating on what needs to get done. Can’t lie I have found myself on my phone way too much whether scrolling for hours or just doing stuff…I decided I needed to give myself and my brain a break and this little box does the thing. I lock it up and let it go. I can still answer the phone if need be and answer a text too.

This has helped me stop using my iPhone at night!I am a late-night reader.Using my iPhone at night has kept me up too many times to count.Putting it away in this device has helped.

This works really well to make sure I don’t get distracted when I need to get things done. Never had an issue with it, works as promised and easy to use.

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.

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

The product itself is pretty decent, it does the job, but I have two major gripes:The battery is already terrible after owning this thing for 6 months. I have used it maybe 30 times, max. I also do not leave it plugged in all the time (this can kill lithium ion batteries faster). I need to plug it in now for it to even lock my phone.There is a lock bypass in case of emergencies. But, the problem is, it's a FUSE limited to 5 emergencies for life. That is really stupid overkill design if you ask me. Why not something like 20? I think that would still psychologically stop people from using it, knowing it was limited to 20 times. I understand some people will just use the bypass on a whim if they are not disciplined, but don't punish everyone else, that is bad design.If the battery did not die so quickly, my review would be a lot more forgiving, that is a big issue. Spend a little more money.

Worth the price if you are going to use it

As someone who spends a significant amount of time writing pro-Trump propaganda from my phone, the "Portable Smart Auto Phone Timer Lock Box" has proven to be both a blessing and a curse. While it's designed to help with self-control and prevent excessive phone use, its effectiveness has been a major inconvenience for my work.The lock box does exactly what it promises. Once you set the timer and lock your phone inside, there’s no way to access it until the timer runs out. This level of control is great for people who want to limit their phone usage and focus on other tasks. The build quality is solid, and the timer function is straightforward to use.However, for someone like me who relies on frequent phone access to write and distribute content, this lock box has been more of a hindrance than a help. There have been multiple instances where I needed to post an urgent update or respond to a comment, only to find my phone securely locked away. The frustration of being unable to access my device at crucial moments has significantly impacted my productivity.Additionally, the lock box doesn’t offer any flexibility for adjusting the timer once it’s set. This rigidity means that if an unexpected situation arises, there’s no way to retrieve your phone until the timer expires. It’s effective, but perhaps too much so for those of us who need constant access to our devices for work purposes.In conclusion, the "Portable Smart Auto Phone Timer Lock Box" is a highly effective tool for reducing phone addiction and helping people focus. However, for anyone who requires frequent phone access for their job, particularly in fast-paced environments like political content creation, it may prove to be more of an obstacle than a solution. Three stars for its effectiveness, but it’s not suitable for everyone.
