We’ve all been there: our smartphone slips out of our hands and crashes to the floor. A good case and screen protector might protect you from the worst of the damage, but can only do so much. That’s where the ADcase comes into play. The case senses when it is in free-fall, quickly releasing eight legs from its corners which hit the ground preventing your smartphone’s expensive and fragile parts from coming into contact with the ground. The spring-loaded 30 mm metal legs can be inserted back into the case, ready to go the next time you drop your phone. The case also includes an extra battery which can be charged by cable 00 or wirelessly. The ADcase is limited to recent iPhone models like the 6/6 Plus. The creator of this device has also won the top award from the German Society for Mechatronics for his phone case, even though the design is still a prototype. The thought struck Philip Frenzel, a 25-year-old engineering student at Aalen University in Germany when he broke his smartphone by hurling his jacket on the banister. Frenzel then started working on equipment that would save the phones from damage after an accidental drop
After four years of fiddling with the equipment, he came up with the phone case that houses sensors that can detect when the phone is falling. The case appears to work perfectly on flat surfaces, but there is no indication that results would be as solid if the phone is dropped on a jagged or uneven edge.
