Nowadays, we can find a little bit of everything on the internet. Recently, a video showing a protective cell phone case with a built-in airbag went viral on social media, indicating the existence of an accessory that really protects the cell phone from falls. And of course it got a lot of attention, since many users value the protection of their smartphones, since they are expensive and, in some situations, fragile.

Fake cell phone case
The two videos that are circulating on the internet are fake and use image editing techniques to merge a recording of the smartphone falling with another superimposed recording of the same cell phone with an inflatable plastic protecting the body or screen of the device.
By efficiently cropping the overlapping video at the right time, you can easily achieve the effect of the airbag opening in a short time.
At the end of the video created by “Vector” it is possible to see that the content creator himself lets slip the “technology” used to create the airbag cover: adhesive tape rolled between the cell phone and the inflating plastic.
When you see content on the internet, you must watch the entire video to avoid believing in any situation that goes viral. Keep an eye out!
The airbag hood project existed
In 2018, German student Philip Frenzel created and patented the ADcase, a reusable protective case with integrated sensors capable of detecting a free fall and activating flexible flaps on the sides to prevent the cell phone's body from coming into contact with the floor.
The project was launched as a crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter, but it did not reach the goal needed to start manufacturing and ended up never leaving the drawing board to this day.
Rugged case
There are several options on the market protective covers for cell phones, which can cause doubts in the user about which is the best one. Currently, there is a lot of talk about the Military Case for cell phones, which promises to protect the device from falls of up to 3 meters in height, in addition to protecting it from scratches, cracks, cracks on the screen and more.
In addition to the promised protection, these covers are made from a material that prevents them from yellowing over time. They are considered the most resistant on the market, preventing the cell phone breaks or scratched by an accidental fall.
There are several types of these military cases, which are made from different materials and have different levels of protection. Some are made from microfiber fabric, which is waterproof and sweatproof, ensuring a soft and smooth texture.
Impactor Ultra-Fabric cases promise airbags on the sides, with a slim design, preserving the natural design of the cell phones. These cases can be found in several online stores, at different prices and with different looks, according to the user's preference.
