Products Available
The store sells computer equipment, accessories, and tech merchandise. You can also buy Monero‑related merchandise. For this review, I purchased a signal blocking bag, available in various sizes (for laptops, tablets, or phones).
Buying Process
- Select product: Choose the signal blocking bag sized for a phone and add to cart.
- Checkout: Enter shipping details (you may use a forwarding service or P.O. box if privacy is a concern).
- Payment method: Choose cryptocurrency → Monero (XMR).
- Invoice: A Monero address, amount, and QR code are displayed. Send the required amount like any normal Monero transaction.
- Confirmation: After the payment is detected and confirmed, the site shows the order as complete.
- Delivery: The package arrived within a few days.
Unboxing & Product Test
After receiving the package, I opened it to reveal the signal blocking bag designed for phones. The bag is lined to block signals and protect both privacy and health.
Test 1 – EMF Radiation
- With the phone outside the bag, an EMF detector showed high levels of radiation and radio frequencies.
- With the phone inside the bag, readings were greatly reduced, showing the lining effectively blocks signals.
Test 2 – Internet Connectivity
- I ran a speed test app on the phone outside the bag → normal connection.
- With the phone inside the bag, the app failed to connect, confirming that the bag blocks wireless signals.
Overall Impression
The signal blocking bag works as described. It can reduce exposure to EMF and radio signals, and it can be used to protect privacy by cutting off connectivity. Based.win provides a straightforward checkout process with Monero payments and fast delivery.
