This gadget is somewhat peculiar and we wondered how the inventor got the inspiration. So we did a little digging and the findings were surprising to say the least. Meet the inventor, Seth Froom. Mr. Seth was robbed in 2012 in his house at gunpoint and he regrets the incident while recalling that his firearm and stun gun were not in his reach when the robbery took place. All that he had was his phone and this is from where he generated the idea of a case that can also work as a stun gun. He said; ‘That night changed my life. Why not take the most common device a person carries – their smartphone – and combine it with a protective element? Every other phone case on the market provides protection for only the phone. Our phone case provides protection for both your phone and you.’
