Honda Creates Airbag For Smartphones by Nobody: 8:03pm On Dec 06, 2013
Japanese automobile giants, Honda have found a solution to falling phones and cracked screens, the company has invented Smartphone cases complete with airbags!
More often than not, owners of smart phones worry about the after math of their phones when they fall which usually includes cracked screens and the overall dysfunctioning of their mobile devices, hence phone cases where invented . This just wasn’t solution enough, so Honda engineers came up with the idea of Smartphone cases with airbags to soften unexpected falls and all together prevent damage to your phone.
The casing virtually guarantees your device will survive any fall and possibly even a head-on collision with a truck. The case would be great for you if you don’t mind the added weight.

FROM ANOTHER SOURCE...

There is nothing more terrifying for a tech-lover than that moment of horror when you lose grip on your phone as it comes out of your pocket. Cases like Otterboxescan help, but even then, the impact can be too great to save yourpreciousexpensive phone. What would it look like to apply airbag technology to smartphone cases? Honda shows us the magic.
It would be pretty amazing if this were actually a prototype that was being worked on for the public, but as far as we can tell right now, this video is purely a viral marketing campaign for a new Honda car. Even still, it is an interesting concept to see put into the real world. The device’s airbags are triggered by the quick movement of the phone towards the ground and cushion the blow when it gets there. Whether fake or not, it’s a cool idea.
Would you pay to put airbags on your phone or tablet to protect it?

Not only that. So many questions.

Where will the airbag compartment be? How will air be blown into the airbag? Won't the phone be bulky? On which side will the airbag be? what if the airbag is on the back, and the phone falls face down? e.t.c
