Make a phone call, reply to a text, play some Angry Birds, stun your attacker. Stun your attacker? Yep. That’s what you can do with the world’s first stun gun smartphone case by Yellow Jacket. The stun gun smartphone case, made for the iPhone 5/5S model (a case for the iPhone 4/4S is already on the market), will be unveiled at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Your phone detaches from the casing, allowing you to put the hurt on a potential attacker or street mime.
The first stun gun smartphone case has the following features:
- Ambidextrous triggers – Equipped left and right-handed triggers allow consumers to quickly deploy their personal protection device from either hand.
- Dual safety mechanism – A swiveling electrode cap and safety switch protects users from accidentally discharging.
- Detachable stun gun pack – The removable stun gun pack provides users with the flexibility to attach or detach the stun gun pack, depending on their environment.
- LED battery indicators – Five LED power lights indicate the current battery level and notify users when it is charging and when it is fully charged.
- TPE protective case – The TPE soft plastic protects the phone from damage caused by drops and daily wear and tear.
- Twice the power – Packing a 1800mAh rechargeable lithium polymer battery, the Yellow Jacket doubles the battery life of the iPhone.
- Increase Amperage/Voltage – Includes a 30 percent increase in stun gun voltage and amperage.
“We are committed to the issue of personal protection. By improving our Yellow Jacket case, we increase peace of mind for smartphone owners, making it easier and more effective for anyone to use during unsettling situations,” said Sean Simone, CEO of Yellow Jacket.
Yellow Jacket case for the iPhone 5/5S will be available in February 2014, starting at $149, while the 4/4S case can now be purchased for $99.
