This “Mobile Airbag” Prevents Your Phone From Cracking

Frenzel’s design begins with a thin protective case, outfitted with sensors that detect the free fall of a phone. Once airborne, metal springs deploy to cushion the fall. You can then push the attachments back into the case and reuse when necessary.

Frenzel refers to his invention, which recently won Germany’s Mechatronics Prize for 2018, as the “AD Case,” short for “active damping.”

It looks like a good idea and hopefully
the springs don't get stuck out or you
would be in trouble trying to answer it
in the normal way.

It's sort of like the theory of a cat always landing on their feet.....except when they don't.
