iPhone case doubles as less lethal device

This case protects not just the iPhone, but the user

Lowell Sun

There’s an interesting iPhone accessory at http://www.indiegogo.com/yellowjacket. Would you believe someone has determined the perfect iPhone case is one that not only protects the iPhone but the user as well? Yellowjacket is an iPhone case protector and external battery that includes a stun gun.

I wonder if there will be any product liability problems? “I was talking on my iPhone when the device stunned me...” “I answered my iPhone and was knocked unconscious...” A 650,000-volt shock to the head has got to hurt!

What about pocket dialing? The owner will get a real surprise if the stun gun accidentally fires in his or her pocket!

A stun gun in the hands of a jokester is an accident waiting to happen. The good news is that it is illegal to possess this device in Massachusetts and the manufacturer will not ship to Massachusetts.
