ySky Phone Lock Box with Timer,Phone Access Blocker Device for Cell Phones, Limits Smartphone Access, Reduces Screen Time & Improves Focus,Timed Jail Locker to Help Kids,Students, Adults Focus Back

I used to have one of these from a brand called "iDiskk," but gave it to a friend. Peeled the "ySky" sticker off this one and it says "iDiskk" underneath :). I think this is the best phone vault for a big reason: you can still see the screen and operate the phone in a very basic manner while it's in the case. That means you're not completely SOL if you have some sort of urgent matter where you need to take a call or access a website, but it's still enough of a physical barrier to keep you from doomscrolling. It's really easy to use, the cover is sturdy enough that you can't just yank it open easily, and fits my Pixel with a case and a ring on the back. It's also a handsome little thing, not too gaudy to leave out. One thing that threw me off: this is technically a battery operated device. I left it in a drawer for a long time and pulled it out to use it, and it seemed broken. It turned out it was just completely dead, and I had to let it charge for a but. It did charge enough to use pretty quickly, and is good to go from there as long as you leave it plugged in. In conclusion, this is the one to get for most folks. Maybe not if you're determined enough to scroll through the case or pry it open, but otherwise this is a good value for a good case.

Have been using this phone lock device for over a year and couldn't be more pleased. It's been a lifesaver in handling my SO's tendency to engage in inappropriate Facebook flirting with coworkers and past flames when he drinks a bit too much. The cost is a fraction of what you'd spend on therapy, and it works wonders. The timer lock feature is a fantastic, allowing us to set how long the phone should stay secure, which is extremely convenient. The design is smart too, with open access areas on the lock case. This means the phone can still be used for emergencies or necessary calls, but it effectively deters any attempts at texting. This has been a huge relief and has helped maintain both our peace of mind and dignity. Highly recommend for anyone in a similar situation!

First, I really like this lock box. I tend to get distracted by my phone while I'm working from home sometimes, and having it locked away lets me focus when I realize I can't get to my phone for however long is left on the timer. That being said, in the past 2 weeks or so there have been a surprising amount of times that I need my phone sooner than however long is left on the timer, and so I've used the emergency unlock. I don't think it's made clear in the advertisement, but the emergency unlock only works 5 times over the life of the lock box, until you remove the battery, which resets the limit back to 5. Removing the battery isn't incredibly difficult, but you need one of those tiny screwdrivers, and it needs to be long enough to reach the screw, which I know not everyone has laying around. Once you open the back, the battery is glued into place, and the wired connections are permanently fixed to the battery. You have to actually remove the battery wires from the circuit board, which isn't difficult, but it can be REALLY awkward if you have thick fingers, etc. After having to go through this process I realized, the 5 limit seems really arbitrary, and I would love this device if it simply didn't have that limit. I realize for people with kids, the limit is probably good, but for adults who simply want to remove their phone as a distraction with something more than just putting it in a drawer or something, the limit is annoying, and removing the battery is time consuming.

First of all I would like to share something that will make you laugh. I am easily distract by all means and I give this product 1000/100. Why? BECAUSE IT WORKED. I tried it our for the first time today because I’m a master procrastinator and this was ideal. I had so much homework to get done, but I have an unhealthy social media addiction. Bad habit he made me not focus on all the information I was getting in order to succeed in class. I proceeded to use the product. I had a small instructions showed but I hate reading them so I ignored it. Well! I thought I knew everything smh. So, anyways I was like ok there’s a timer cool. Assumed that it went from minutes to seconds I SET THE TIMER FOR 89 HOURS 😭 89 😂😂 I WAS LIVID ok. LIVID. The latch did not open at all. It was like a mean prank on myself. I asked Siri “Hey Siri, how many days is 89 hours?!” And she said 3.71 days. I was so mad but so happy it worked at the same time!! So I had to go to target later in the evening to buy a whole new screwdriver, the screws were as small as the iPhone screws. Opened the battery source and it was a whole motherboard in there 😭 I was so mad and I was like ok I used to fix my own iPhones so I know how to do this. Lucky for my past hobby, I was able to pull out the wires carefully. This product gets all the points from me, and this marks the day I will always read the instructions... maybe. Also I got my homework faster cus I wanted it back so bad 😂😂😂

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.

At first this thing seemed great, but after a while, I put my phone it in one day and set it to four hours and when I went back to get it out, the ticker said 85 hours and change. Had to pry open the corner to get my phone out and now I'm scared to use it again. Not awesome.

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.

So I’ve had this product since 2024, and now it’s 2026 and I must say this product works ! I Felt I should review it as I randomly decided to look up the listing to see if it’s still available & saw it’s listed as a frequently returned item… that’s a bummer because as an adult w/ adhd this has been a major life saver. I currently don’t have the discipline to do without my phone if it’s accessible to me.. and no putting it in another room doesn’t work for me, but this lockbox has been a solution to that and I’m able to put my phone away and focus on important tasks. I will say though to be careful when setting the timer, because it’s easy to set it in hours and not minutes lol. I tried locking it away for 30 minutes for a quick Bible study session and was about to lock it down when the Lord spoke to me and said I had it set to 30 hours !!!! Bruhhh 😂😂😂 anyway I quickly realized he was right and then I set it to minutes and got back to my Bible study. After the 30 minutes was up it unlocked perfectly fine. It’s not super light but also not a brick 🧱, it’s very stable and sturdy. It fits my iPhone 13 with lots of wiggle room, can absolutely fit the pro or pro max iPhones (most). TBH I’d bet a majority of the down votes didn’t read the instructions, it has an emergency over ride feature, so you are not doomed if you need to get it out in an emergency ‼️ FYI: PLEASE MAKE SURE IT’S FULLY CHARGED IF YOU ARE GOING TO LOCK IT DOWN FOR HOURS .. Okay byeeee 🩷🎀

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

It does its job. I got all the pieces it’s supposed to come with. It’s easy to use. The only critique is that it feels a little delicate, and that may just be me.

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.

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.
