The world goes in slow motion when you watch your new and exclusive smartphone falling freely against the pavement. The feeling is terrible, even more so if you didn't think about a case.
Apparently, the case will be a thing of the past with this gadget that a young German engineer presented at the University of Aalen.
Philip Frenzel presented a kind of 'airbag' that consists of eight springs (two for each corner of the smartphone) that automatically deploy when the device is in free fall.
Don't think it's for single use! You just have to flatten each spring and embed it back into the center of the panel. The invention has been so successful that it won the first prize of the German Society of Mechatronics and has already patented his creation.
