Claim:
1. A personal communication device (PCD) holder comprising: a first housing component including a tubular body having a capped end and a male mating end, the first housing component including a data signal blocking material that causes the first housing component to be data signal blocking; a second housing component including a tubular body having a capped end and a female mating end sized to receive the male mating end of the first housing component, the second housing component including a data signal blocking material that causes the second housing component to be data signal blocking; a first liner material disposed on an inner surface of the first housing so as to leave an outer surface of the data signal blocking material of the male mating end exposed; a second liner material disposed on an inner surface of the second housing so as to leave an inner surface of the data signal blocking material of the female mating end exposed; a data signal blocking gasket positioned between the exposed outer surface of the data signal blocking material of the male mating end and the exposed inner surface of the data signal blocking material of the female mating end; wherein the male mating end is formed or machined to have a smaller outer diameter than an outer diameter of the tubular body of the first housing component, forming a ledge between the differing outer diameters, the ledge uncovered by the first liner, exposing the data signal blocking material of the first housing component, the ledge mating with a data signal blocking edge of the female mating end when the first housing component is mated with the second housing component; and wherein the female mating end defines at least one pressure release aperture between its edge and a line along an inner surface of the female mating end that contacts the gasket when the first housing component is mated with the second housing component.
