Created by German engineering student Philip Frenzel, the ADcase (AD standing for “active damping”) is a specialized phone case that acts as a ‘mobile airbag.’
As described by Mashable, the case “deploys springy, spider-like legs as it starts to fall,” thus saving your screen from impacting—or even touching—the ground. It offers 360 degree protection, and the legs, sensors and hard shell are all packaged in an extra slim design.
The invention won Frenzel the 2018 award from the German Society for Mechatronics, and already has its own website. Now patented, the ADcase will be heading to Kickstarter sometime this month.
