Helping Schools Create Phone-Free Classrooms Without Creating New Problems.

Today's schools are working to reduce classroom distractions and improve student engagement. VaultED™ was designed to help make phone-free policies easier to implement without the complexity, cost, or frustration of traditional locking pouches.

Unlike lock-and-key systems that can create bottlenecks at the end of the day and often require dedicated unlocking stations, VaultED™ keeps the process simple. Students securely store their phones during class while maintaining immediate access in the event of an emergency. The result is a solution that promotes focus, respects students, and makes enforcement easier for educators.

Wrapped in our durable CleanShell™ exterior, VaultED™ is built for everyday school use. Integrated RF shielding helps block cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth signals, reducing distractions from calls, messages, notifications, and wireless connectivity throughout the school day. An extra-loud Velcro® closure provides an audible alert if a student attempts to access their phone during class, while a clear ID window makes assigning and managing pouches quick and easy.

Whether clipped to a backpack, carried on an optional lanyard, or stored in a classroom, VaultED™ offers a practical, cost-effective approach to supporting phone-free learning environments, without locks, waiting lines, or unnecessary complexity.

Why Schools Choose VaultED™

• No locks. No bottlenecks. Students retrieve their phones immediately at the end of the day without waiting in line.
• Emergency access when it matters most. Devices remain accessible in unexpected situations without damaging the pouch.
• Encourages responsibility and trust. Supports school policies without creating an adversarial experience for students.
• Lower total cost. A simple, durable design costs a fraction of traditional locking systems while avoiding expensive replacement locks and damaged pouches.

Key Features

• Integrated RF shielding helps block cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth signals to reduce distractions during school hours.
• Extra-loud Velcro® closure provides an audible alert when the pouch is opened.
• CleanShell™ exterior resists dirt, stains, moisture, and everyday wear while wiping clean with ease.
• Padded EVA construction helps protect phones from everyday bumps and drops.
• Clear ID window simplifies assignment and inventory management.
• Integrated D-ring attaches easily to an optional lanyard, backpack, or carrying system.
• No-lock design eliminates unlocking stations, exit delays, and lock maintenance.
• Supports phone-free classroom policies with a practical, easy-to-manage solution for students and staff alike.

• VAULTED - Fits up to an iPhone 16 Max Pro or Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (with case)

Testimonial

“The Higher Ground Vert 3.0 has become the bag of choice for our Nampa Personalized Learning Device. It provides a great carrying experience with lots of device protection. We first tried a Dell branded device sleeve for our device deployment. We found it wasn’t holding up to the demands put on it by the students. We need a better solution and we found that Higher Ground gear bags provided a much better experience and protection for nearly the same cost. The student feedback is positive and the students still using the first round sleeve want to move to the Higher Ground Vert 3.0 bag.”
