The AD Case (the “AD” stands for active damping) is like an airbag for your phone, except that instead of using an inflatable cushion to protect the device, it uses built-in sensors and eight hook-like springs that deploy automatically when the case detects that your phone is in free fall.

Fenzel already having won the top award from the German Society for Mechatronics and registering a patent for his AD Case, there’s a good chance this thing might be more than just a one-off prototype relatively soon.

Discussion

Also, while there are sure to be some countermeasures to prevent the springs from deploying accidentally, a small shudder goes down my spine when I think about the case popping open while my phone is sitting in my pocket.

Although I don’t think it has enough power to actually injure someone, it would be pretty entertaining to watch someone try to fish this out of the pocket of their skinny jeans after it deployed.

I just want to watch someone drop this on their face when reading in bed, and have it deploy. Or them toss it to a friend and watch it fuck their hand up.

Is that an active dampening phone case in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?

I hope you can set it to go off if anyone you don’t like holds your phone.

Don’t have this in your pocket while riding a roller coaster.

I want need that. Hands of ham, fingers of butter.
