Neal Rubin introduces readers to an iPhone case that doubles as a stun gun. Detroit is one of the target markets.
It’s an innocent-looking iPhone case. It comes in festive colors like pink and yellow. And if someone tries to mess with you while you’re talking to mom or playing Angry Birds, it’ll flame the fool with 650,000 volts.
Of course, Detroit is one of the target markets, because who’s better known for miscreants who need stun-gunning than us? And naturally, because Murphy’s Law is almost a city ordinance, you can’t legally buy it here.
But it’s still nice that the folks at Yellow Jacket thought of us (and Flint and Oakland, Calif.) for their first big public relations push.
Part portable phone charger and part self-defense tool, the $99 Yellow Jacket is described as “the accessory for anyone that needs an added sense of security in their daily lives.”
So far, it’s available only for the iPhone 4 and 4s, but Yoon promises the company will be able to accommodate all of the iPhone 5 models by Christmas. Joy-buzzer to the world.
