The "Pouch" Experiment Failed
Schools spent millions on magnetic pouches, only to face new operational nightmares. Here is the reality of hardware-based locking systems.
Hardware Costs
Pouches cost $25-$30 per student. For a school of 1,000, that's $30,000+ upfront, plus replacement costs for lost or damaged bags.
The Bottleneck
Unlocking pouches at dismissal creates massive lines and chaos. It turns teachers into bouncers and wastes valuable instructional time.
Easy to Break
Students easily bypass magnets or simply break the pouch. YouTube is full of tutorials on "how to open a school phone pouch."
Signal Bleed
Pouches don't block signals. Phones still ring, vibrate, and distract students even when locked inside the bag on their desk.
Zero Hardware.
100% Accountability.
Schoolz Phone-Bay utilizes the technology you already own. Staff use a tablet or phone to scan student IDs as phones are collected.
Digital Paper Trail
Every collection and return is timestamped. No more "the teacher lost my phone" disputes. The log proves chain of custody.
Rapid Check-In
Scanning a student ID takes less than 2 seconds. Collect an entire classroom's devices in under 2 minutes.
Cost Effective
No pouches to buy or replace. Just a simple software subscription that costs a fraction of physical hardware.
