When the flap is open, the shielding material inside the pouch and the shielding material on the flap leave a gap, thereby allowing RF signals emitted by the device to leave the shield, and further allowing RF signals impinging on the shield from outside to reach the device. The shield further includes a compartment for a charger and one or more power cord adapters.
