How TOVI works

Phone in. Close it. Carry on.

The whole system is a durable neoprene pouch you close and a station that opens it. Nothing is charged, connected or configured.

  1. 01

    Phone in. Lock it.

    The phone slides into the pouch and the steel pin closes over the opening.

  2. 02

    Keep it with you.

    Bag, locker or pocket. The phone never changes hands.

  3. 03

    Open at a station.

    Press the pouch to a TOVI Station and it releases. Unlocking is self-service: no teacher needed.

Made of few, honest parts

  • Neoprene

    A soft, flexible material made for everyday use.

  • A reinforced opening

    The pouch's mouth is built to keep its shape through daily closing and opening.

  • One steel pin

    The pin locks the pouch shut. It opens against the magnetic surface of a station.

  • No electronics

    No battery, no app, no account, no tracking. Nothing to update and nothing that knows who you are.

What TOVI does not need

  • No app
  • No account
