13. An electromagnetic isolation apparatus to isolate at least one electronic communication device of the type having an audio input that receive sounds, the at least one electronic communication device having electromagnetic transmission capabilities that wirelessly transmit signals, the apparatus comprising:
-
an ungrounded housing having a form factor dimensioned to fit into a vehicle, the ungrounded housing having an openable portion and a base portion, said housing comprising; a conductive layer that substantially prevents electromagnetic radiation from passing therethrough, said housing defining a cavity within the base portion, said openable portion having a first position that allows the at least one electronic communication device to be placed within and enclosed by said cavity, the openable portion including a second position that seals said cavity such that wireless transmissions from the at least one electronic communication device are substantially prevented from passing between said cavity and the outside world, a sound-reducing shield configured to acoustically decouple the cavity from sound outside of the cavity so that the housing, in use, prevents the audio input of said at least one electronic communication device from picking up sound originating from outside of the cavity when said at least one electronic communication device is disposed within the cavity with the openable portion set in the second position, and an electromagnetic radiation absorbing layer that is configured to absorb at least some wireless transmission energy to/from the at least one electronic communication device, wherein the openable portion and the base portion each include the electromagnetic radiation absorbing layer, the conductive layer, and the sound-reducing shield, wherein the ungrounded housing further includes a sealing structure that conductively connects the conductive layer of the openable portion to the conductive layer of the base portion when the openable portion is in the closed position. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. An electromagnetic and sound isolation container for isolating at least one communication device of the type having an audio input that receive sounds, the at least one electronic communication device having electromagnetic transmission capabilities for wirelessly transmitting signals, the container comprising:
-
a first portion defining an electronic communication device holding cavity; a second portion moveable between at least an open position and a closed position, in the open position, the second portion allowing the at least one electronic communication device to be placed into the electronic communication device holding cavity, and in the closed position, the top portion closing off the electronic communication device holding cavity such that wireless transmissions and audio input/output to/from the at least one electronic communication device placed within the electronic communication device holding cavity are substantially prevented from passing into or out of said electronic communication device holding cavity; a sound reduction layer included in the first and/or second portions that, in use, acoustically isolates the audio input of the at least one communication device from picking up sound originating outside the electronic communication device holding cavity when the second portion is in the closed position; a conductive electromagnetic shielding layer that is included in the first and/or second portions, wherein the conductive electromagnetic shielding layer substantially prevents electromagnetic radiation from passing into or out from the electronic communication device holding cavity when the top portion is in the closed position; and an electromagnetic and acoustical sealing gasket arrangement that conductively connects the top and bottom portions and acoustically seals the first portion to the second portion to thereby reduce the introduction of sound into the electronic communication device holding via an opening that is closed when the second portion is in the closed position, wherein the apparatus has a form factor that is dimensioned to fit into a vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
