The mobile airbag can come to register your phone

People are falling and breaking their smartphones all the time, but a German engineering student named Philip Frenzel may have the solution to save time, money and unnecessary stress. Spotted by DesignBoom Frenzel created the mobile airbag, a holster that detects when your phone is in free fall and releases metal pins to protect it from damage.

Student at Aalen University in Germany, Frenzel received an award from the German Mechatronics Society with mobile airbag and plans to Launch the device on Kickstarter next month with Peter Mayer, another college student, according to the German publication Preview Online .

If this product – or a similar one, with an upgraded design – actually does it to the market, there is no doubt that it could help save people hundreds of dollars that money. they would otherwise spend on telephone repairs or new devices. The era of cracked screens can end sooner than we think.
