The Yellow Jacket iPhone stun gun case, designed “to be able to take down a fully grown, aggressive, adult male”, is heading to market, following an Indiegogo campaign inspired by one man’s real life assault.
Seth Froom, former military policeman and inventor of the Yellow Jacket, was the victim of a robbery at his Louisiana home last summer, during which his iPhone was stolen. It was a traumatic experience that “changed my life forever”, Froom says in a video accompanying his campaign.
But the trauma wasn’t all for naught. As it turns out, Froom had his Eureka moment while in contemplative mood following the attack.
“I thought of all the things I could have done differently, to prevent myself from becoming a victim,” Froom said.
“I thought of the firearms I had upstairs, which in the moment did nothing to protect me. I thought of the fake cellphone stun gun I had. This served no purpose as a phone and I never carried it around.
“I thought of my phone case itself that the robber had left behind on his way out. And that’s when the idea came to me.”
Now, Froom has a device that will enable him to fell an assailant even if his firearms and fake cell phone stun gun are beyond reach.
Combine this with the phone that shoots the bullets,add a bit of depleted uranium and wow, NO FEAR of anybody or anything !! I would be Da Man!
So you are supposed to use your phone against a person holding a gun to your head?
Good luck with that. Unless that thing can throw darts, is pretty useless for defense.
BTW: Did this guy get the idea from a Dilbert Comic?
