How a mechatronics engineering student invented a “mobile airbag” that automatically deploys when you drop a device, protecting it from harm [read more:

Just imagine that you're using your phone in the bed, it slips in your hand, the phone drops to your face and the mechanism pierces your eyeball.

I made something like this and never break a smartphone anymore Hot glue gun, that's it

Can’t wait for this to open in my pocket when I suddenly stop with the car…

Apple would probably disapprove and somehow make their phones incompatible with this. 😂

But if you slip on ice with the phone in your pocket?

Just make sure you don’t get on a trampoline with your phone in your pocket

I would pay a lot of money for this 😂😅

"Phillip Frenzel came up with his idea after breaking his phone by throwing the jacket containing it over a banister. After four years of tinkering, he created a “mobile airbag” that unfolds from the corners of a relatively-thin case when sensors detect that it’s in free fall."

*sad noises*

A fun sidekick project but I don't see this in my pocket anytime soon... 🙂 Kudos for the idea though.
