"Constantly getting dirty looks for letting your phone ring off the hook in meetings and at the movies? Then it's time to invest in a new jacket.\nU.K. designer Victor Johansson has created the Escape Jacket, which silences your phone when it is placed in the jacket's inner pocket. Check out the video above to see the jacket's design. \n\nSEE ALSO: High-Tech Threads: Can Your Clothes Do This?\nThe jacket is based on the principles of a \"Faraday cage,\" Johansson says.\nA Faraday cage or shield is an enclosure that is formed by conducting material; this enclosure blocks external static electrical fields. The cage causes any charges to redistribute, and prevents them from being absorbed inside the cage.\nSimilarly, the jacket's pocket acts as a cage that blocks all radio frequency waves. So instead of getting beeps and buzzes, you'll hear blissful silence. \nAs a bonus, the jacket also helps save your phone's battery with an embedded near-field communication (NFC) chip that turns off the phone's antenna while in its pocket. \nWould you consider buying this jacket? Tell us what you think in the comments below.\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
