What it does

A protective barrier between your device and "juice-jacking" hackers.

Have you ever plugged your phone into a strange USB port because you really needed a charge and thought: "Gee who could be stealing my data?" Lets hope you have, because malicious hackers can easily set up a charging kiosk to "hijack" your device’s data or even upload malware. Or maybe you went for a charge on your buddies computer and accidentally synced up all of your data, including pictures and more sensitive information you weren’t planning on sharing. We’ve all been there; in an airport, a coffee shop or maybe a friend’s computer, sometimes you just NEED a charge. "Any port in a storm." as the saying goes. Well, now you can be a bit safer.
