Phone Timed Lock Box,Phone Lock Box with Timer for Android Sumsung/Google/iPhone 15/14/13/13 pro/12/11/X/XR/XS/8/ for Kids/Students/Parents to Unplug from Phones, Video Games, Social Media

The media could not be loaded. I really wanted to like the TaiZhou timer box; its design had a cool/modern look to it. Unfortunately, it just doesn’t fit my iPhone 11 with the case on (Otterbox’s Commuter case). It’s not deep enough and barely fits width-wise anyway. I’m not changing cases just to fit this, so I must return the TaiZhou model.On the other hand, iDiskk’s Timer Phone Locker fits rather well with the case still on! It also allows 100 hours of time if I wanted an extended weekend fast from my phone. The only downside is I’m not a fan of the design (it looks kind of clunky) but I can live with it.Overall, if your phone and case is thinner (less than 1/2”) and 12 hours suits you well, then get the TaiZhou. For everyone else, the iDiskk is best (design aside).

As a person who resisted getting a cell phone until 2004 I never dreamed I could be addicted to an electronic advice but as I got into the world of Apple the phone really took over my life. It’s still a battle but this box really helps. I’m still figuring out how long and when exactly I want to lock it up but it’s amazing how much more productive I am when virtually all distractions are eliminated as I don’t own a tv. I wish I knew about this years ago. I’m slowly working my way up to locking it up for eight hours a day as I work for myself from my home and I don’t need a phone for my work. One positive thing I noticed so far is when the phone is not in the lock box I’m forced to consolidate the time I spend texting, sending emails and especially the time spent on social media. This thing is a real godsend. Highly recommend.

After having a chance to use it, I can confirm that for myself that once it's locked away, I don't use it late at night or try to grab my phone at my desk. The biggest issue though is having the willpower to put it in the box in the first place, let alone setting it to lock away for many hours (can be set to go up to 99 hours and 59 minutes). Thus the one feature I feel it's missing is a clock. I wish I could set it to "hey every day at 10:00pm set it to lock for 8 hours". You either lock it away at night at the exact same time every night or lose having a place to keep your phone away from you for the night and risk knowing you'll be using it in due time. Having such a feature would encourage good behavior and the willpower to lock it before it locks itself with nothing in it. Considering that one needs to physically lock a phone away from them to be able to stay away from it, its not a bad feature to see included. 5 stars if the next version comes with that.Things I Appreciate:[] I like that it stores memory of how long you've set the timer from the last time you locked it so that you can easily restart the same time again, great for an hour or so lock session followed by a few min break and so on.[] It comes included with both a USB C and a lightning charging port which is a nice touch. The manual states it will take 4 hours to fully charge with a blue light that goes away when it's fully charged. It felt shorter than 4 hours though so that's nice.[] The fact that if you wanted to, you could grab it by the hollow parts and tear the plastic cover off with force to get to your phone does not concern me as much as one would think since doing so would be admitting defeat to your own bad habits and require spending the time and money to acquire a new one. And that's been enough of an inconvenience for me to make it something I'd personally consider unlikely to find myself doing, but it's something to consider if you'd be willing to go that far yourself to get to that phone since it's sturdy enough but not sturdy enough to prevent you from tearing it open if you wanted to.Dimensions of the lock box itself are roughly: 18.5cm*8.75cm*1.6cm

If you are like me -- who wants to read more books and spend less time on phone -- get this product.I have used this product for a week now and below are my reflections:1. I place my phone at around 10 pm with a lock of 5 hours before I plan to hit the bed. Without access to phone, I am forced to read a book until I go to sleep.2. My sleep quality has considerably improved since I am not scrolling when I am in the bed.3. I wake up without an alarm and less grogginess since the sleep quality has improved. Further, I dont pick up my phone as my first activity since it is placed quite far from me.Overall: get this product, it will has more benefits on the long run. Only caveat is that you must have the discipline to keep the phone inside the box.

I've been using this a few days and so far it has exceeded expectations! I was nervous because there weren't a lot of reviews on this one. Mostly I was worried that the thing would break and hold my phone hostage after the timer went off (hasn't happened). It's easy to use and I like the holes in the plastic because it means I can still use my phone to answer calls for work. My screen time has gone down a lot and this is the only way I found relief from endless instagram scrolling!A few (small) things: I have an Iphone 7+ and with a lifeproof case my phone is too big for it so I have to dismantle my phone case to put my phone in here. I also use a popsocket pop wallet and I have to remove it for this too. Also the first day I did accidentally pop the whole door off the hinge parts, but so far that hasn't happened again.

I absolutely love this product and 100% recommend to anyone who has issues staying focused and staying off their phone during times they are needing to be more alert and aware...especially for work if you're working from home like i do.I like that you are still able to charge your phone or answer an important call while the phone is locked away.I also like the fact that when it's locked away, there's no going back until the timer is up so I suggest to make sure that what ever time frame you lock your phone away for, it'll be a time where you aren't really needing to use it at all.Now I do allow my music to play on pandora on it to help me stay a bit more motivated and it works perfectly.I thank God for who ever created this gadget, it was affordable and much needed for me.
