A French solution

designed in Châteauroux

A concrete answer

Technology back in its rightful place.

PhoneSecure sets the smartphone aside without confiscating it. Each student remains responsible for their device, while the school regains a clear and peaceful framework.

01

Protecting attention

An opaque, closed case limits notifications, alerts and the temptation to be distracted.

02

Securing school life

Fewer unwanted photos, conflicts, reported thefts and incidents to handle.

03

Respecting daily flows

The phone stays among the student’s belongings: no collection, no locker, no queue to get it back.

A simple daily routine

Three steps. Zero friction.

A clear protocol for students, teaching staff and families.

01

Before class

I put it away

The student turns off their phone’s connections, places it in the case and presses to lock it.

Green visual check
02

During the day

I focus

The smartphone stays with the student, protected in an opaque, robust and inaccessible case.

No collective storage
03

On the way out

I unlock

The student holds the case up to the contactless terminal. It opens instantly, like a transport pass.

Frequently asked questions

What schools want to know.

A first answer to the operational questions, before the detailed assessment of your project.

Who keeps the case?

The case is assigned to the student, who keeps it along with their phone. The school neither collects nor stores the devices.

How do you check that it is properly closed?

A green indicator lets staff visually check the locking at the start of the day.

How do you handle students leaving?

The case unlocks instantly when held up to a contactless terminal. The number of terminals is defined according to student numbers and the school’s flows.

Does the solution fit every smartphone?

The inner format is designed for the vast majority of smartphones, including models with lanyards or decorations.

How do you prepare a rollout?

Thoonsen reviews student numbers, entrances and exits, circulation constraints and the emergency protocol in order to propose a suitable configuration.
