![]() ![]() In addition to the “blocking” Darkvault, there is a “Comms” non-blocking version which along with being made from a more traditional polymer comes in at a cheaper £64.99 price point. At £99.99 it’s not cheap, but it might offer those fo you in certain job roles the ability to keep your device in a secure state. Ill not bore you with the full breakdown of what it will and will not block but be aware that some frequencies will cut through the case easier than others and your proximity to cell towers or other transmitters/receivers will determine how effective the Darkvault is at preventing those signals getting through. The “Blocking” version which the manufacturer claims will block most cellular and GPS signals, useful in certain situations where you do not want a device being visible to local networks. There are two versions available in four colours… So you don’t need to worry too much about the fitment of which model phone you have or even if you’re looking to carry a Kestrel or Garmin, you should find that the Darkvault is suitable with it being a “one size fits most” product. Unlike a lot of dedicated plate carrier mounting systems for Mobile/Cell phones, the Darkvault is designed as a secure storage box for various electronics and other important items. ![]() Although at only £65 for the comms version, its a lot cheaper than say a Kagwerks phone mount and something I’d have probably spent my hard earned on anyway. When the Darkvault was announced I wanted to try one out, luckily the guys at Tactical Kit were kind enough to provide one at no cost for the purposes of review. But up until now I’d not seen a particular product of theirs that would fit a role within my specific needs, that is of course until their Darkvault storage case was announced. The US based company Thyrm have been making unique products for quite some time, from their Cellvaults and their Switchback flashlight attachments to more interesting bits like the newly announced Vari-Arc helmet light attachment system (Read The Geardo Crow’s fantastic review here). No matter how far you take it, one things for sure… You need to have a phone strapped to your plate carrier, that’s just the way it is.
