The student makes an airbag bag for your smartphone

Broken phone screens are unfortunately part of our daily lives. Who has not yet dropped his smartphone from his hands, resulting in a broken screen? The German student Philip Frenzel also did it and that inspired him to come up with the AD deal. This is a kind of airbag for your smartphone in the form of a holster.

This case is special: if it records that your smartphone is in free fall (by reading the accelerometer), four emission pins automatically come out of the four corners. These pins are both on the front and on the back and this ensures that it must be very weird running (or yes, falling) your smartphone wants damage. Once the "airbag" is unfolded and your smartphone (and your heart) are back to normal, you can fold back the pins and you only have one holster around your phone. It does not win beauty prizes right now, but it's effective!

Shut up and take my money

If it sounds completely brilliant, you've seen it. It is not surprising that Fenzel won the Mechatronik Preis 2018 for his invention. Of course, he is already busy with his fresh start set up to put the AD Case on the market as quickly as possible. He has already applied for a patent on the mechanism, but as always with this stuff, the question is whether it will be fast enough to get ahead of the Chinese who copy this kind of mechanical intelligence in a week. end and start selling on Ali next week. Express.

That said, it is a very good idea. Frenzel plans to put the case on the market via Kickstarter and if the price is a bit to go, it will probably be a big hit. And rightly so: if you still have a case to make on your phone, take one where you're really sure nothing goes wrong when it falls.
