Security

Can be locked by the teacher who has access to the devices at all times without the need of an unlocking mechanism that is usually not in the room.
Teachers and admin support will have access to the devices at any time.

Students have their phones in a pouch that needs to be individually unlocked, often at a location using a specific
tool which is located outside of the classroom.


Mobility

Can be installed on a tabletop or counter and removed when needed.
The ability to remove the whole unit is helpful when evacuating, making it easy to carry all devices for distribution once in a safe place.

Can create bottlenecks with students needing a shared specialized tool to unlock pouches during breaks, emergencies or at the end of the school day.


Focus

Out of sight-out of mind. When stored, students have full attention on learning and classroom activities.

Students still have the devices and can still be distracted when they vibrate or go off in their possession.


Durability

Made from durable high impact ABS plastic and comes with a lifetime warranty.

Pouches have a limited lifespan, based on everyday wear and tear.


Cost

The cost of the storage is covered by individual schools/school districts.

The cost of pouches is covered by individual schools/ districts but if lost by a student the replacement cost may be the responsibility of the parent/student.
