Faraday Key Pouch Question
I bought a Faraday bag on Amazon no particular brand but I noticed when the C8's key fob is inside the pouch and I approach the vehicle it will unlock and open the door for me. But when I try to start the vehicle with the C8 key fob still inside the pouch it will not start the car. Maybe I'm confused about how the Faraday pouch is supposed to work or maybe I bought a cheap knock off/defective pouch from Amazon. I wouldn't think I could be able to open the locked car door with the C8's key fob still inside the Faraday pouch? Can anyone educate me please! I appreciate it and thank you in advance!

Some of the cheaper bags avalable on Amazon are known for inconsistent signal blocking, I use the bag when out and about and a box to store all key fobs when I am home.
this video demonstrates how a proper bag/box should work:
