The shielding in the EMF Radiation Protection Universal Tablet Case is located in the front cover and the rotating back cover that your tablet is affixed to. This ensures that your body is protected from direct contact with EMF emissions no matter how the tablet is positioned. If it’s closed, you will have protection on both sides. If it’s open and the front cover is on your lap or body serving as a stand for your tablet, your body will be protected. If it’s lying open and flat on your lap or body, the back cover will block direct contact with your body.
