My first faraday bag was a ‘HODUFY’ pouch. It works fine.
After that, I bought the Nickle/Copper fabric from China and tested making pouches using cyanoacrylate glue and velcro strips. I found a supplier now that sells 10 m x 1.1 m fabric for $65 + shipping.
If you are in a hurry and you only want the cellphone pouch, you can buy a cheaper pouch online and test that you cannot call it nor connect via Bluetooth when it is inside the pouch. Working with the fabric directly lets you make custom pouches by cutting, folding, and gluing.
Here are some photos of a HODUFY and the DIY pouch. In the third photo you can see that the material inside the pouch is a similar type of Nickel/Copper fabric.
To make the pouch, a single piece is cut into a rectangle and folded in half, leaving three open sides. Two of the three open sides are folded over twice and glued shut. The remaining side is the opening, which makes use of velcro strips to close. This opening also needs to be folded when closing, like this:
The key point here is that you do not pierce the fabric, and you make sure that the edges are sealed shut properly by folding.
The hodufy works for a phone. I just wanted to experiment to learn. I don’t use any of them often - I keep my phone in airplane mode and without a sim card and only use it with WiFi.

This is actually badass. I might try that. It the fabric fairly rugged? Why did you stop using the Hodufy?
