So you’re sitting in class bored. Your phone is locked up, and you don’t have anything else to do. We’ve all been there, and it can be torturous. Thankfully, there are a variety of convenient ways to cope with a Yondr pouch and even a few ways to circumvent its protection. Here are 10 such methods to either free your captured device or cope with its temporary loss.
Method 1: Wait until the end of the day
The easiest solution by far. You hardly have to do anything at all. There are magnetic unlocking stations set up at most of the building’s exits. If you wait long enough, these will eventually unlock, and you will be able to open your pouch by tapping the round part of the lock on it.
Method 2: Ask really nicely
The tried and tested best way to get what you want is to say please. It’s called the magic word for a reason. If you ask really nicely, you might be able to convince someone to let you unlock your device or to save it from being locked up in the first place.
Method 3: Give your bag to a friend
No device on hand means no temptation to find a way to use it. With any luck, they’ll forget to give it back to you and you can spend the weekend doing something besides doom scrolling.
Method 4: Use your imagination
With the power of imagination, anything is possible, even scrolling on Instagram in class! If it helps you, you can even hold the bag containing your actual phone and pretend that it’s not serving a life sentence.
Method 5: Draw a smiley face on it
This won’t help you retrieve your device, but it may lessen the mental stress of looking at the pouch. How can you hate a face like that?
Method 6: Break the contents into pieces
Yondr pouches famously have two very small weaknesses: holes at the edges of the locking mechanism just barely big enough to fit a finger through. In order to get the contents of the bag out, it just needs to be small enough to fit through these holes.
Method 7: Become a recluse
Those who live beyond the cellular need fear nothing from the Yondr.
Method 8: Consume everything
Although the internet may seem infinite, it has a defined size and amount of content. If you consume it all (which you should be able to manage in a weekend or so if you try hard enough), you’ll have no more reason to use your device, since all of its other functions have sufficient low-tech alternatives which are not subject to the same restrictions.
Method 9: Travel backwards in time
Yondr as a company was only founded in 2014, so it is impossible for it to exist in a time before that. Ensure you exercise caution, since traveling too far backwards can result in some issues regarding the invention of the cellular phone.
Method 10: Travel forward in time
In the future, humanity has transcended the need for the cellular phone. Either get an implant and return to the present, or remain in the future where there are limited restrictions on such antiquated technology. However, do consider that education in the future may be significantly more challenging for a modern student, particularly if you are in a time after Her arrival.
