SECTION 1
About SafeCase
SafeCase is a first-of-its-kind security device for mobile devices
that enables unique data protections and high-security services
alongside your smartphone. Integrated within SafeCase are
protections against audio and video surveillance resulting from the
remote hijacking of your smartphone’s cameras and microphones.
Audio capture is prevented via randomized audio masking for each
of your smartphone’s microphones, while image/video capture
is prevented via a physical barrier that blocks the cameras.
SafeCase parts and accessories
SafeCase ships with a USB-A to USB-C charging cable which, when
connected to a power source, charges both SafeCase and Galaxy.
