LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 6, 2017) - "Texting while Driving" is the #1 leading cause of teenage deaths in America. And, 64% of 2.5 million accidents each year, or 1.6 million crashes, are caused by a drivers that took their eyes off the road for less than 5 seconds in order to read their cell phone's screen and/or send a text message while driving. These stats are growing annually to epidemic proportions even though 46 states and DC have passed laws that specifically outlaw talking on cell phones and texting while driving.

"Before Shellback Smartphone Safes were invented, it was almost impossible to enforce corporate cell phone safety policies," said Michael Maguire, Shellback Smartphone Safe's CEO. "But now it is possible for parents, business owners, and fleet safety managers to receive real time alerts and prevent accidents before they happen. They will always know when specific phones are not in use -- especially when driving. In addition, the Smartphone Safe's LED lights indicate to the driver that the Smartphone Safe is in 'safe' mode and fully compliant -- making it easy to improve driver behavior." 

The Smartphone Safe tracks the phone continuously, but only reports violations of opening the case while driving. Back-end reporting makes it easy to identify and address your high-risk drivers and to recognize your safe drivers. Our cloud-based servers store all information and provide useful dashboards to improve your operations and reduce any liability. Finally -- cell phone policies can be enforced and substantiated. 

Over the past eighteen months, the Smartphones Safes have been tested in real world conditions. Driver behavior improves when they know there will consequences for violating the cell phone policy. Safety improves dramatically. Costs and liabilities are greatly reduced.
