    Is there anyway to stop radion coming from your phone, or to stop as much as possible. I taught I saw it somewhere before where you could get something that you could clip on to the back of your phone to stop a lot of radiation.

    Tinfoil hat ?

    Hands free is the only option - where you shout across the room at the phone and ready to sprint across in case some nicks it.

    Anything else is at best snake oil.

    Any thing that blocks the radiation will reduce the signal the phone recieves from the mast. The phone will just use extra power to compensate. So your radiation dose goes up and battery life goes down.

    BTW: Thinfoil hats actually increase radiation in the 1.2GHz range so depending on the geometry of the hat you may be focusing radiation from the phone into the centre of your noodle. Holding a phone to your ear while wearing a parabolic reflector is not on my todo list.

    toss your mobile phone in the skip :)

    Seriously though, probably the handsfree like Capt'n Midnight said
