The phone 'airbag' that would mean you would never break another mobile

[Queue Farms]

It's that heart-lurching moment millions of us dread. For a split second you stand utterly helpless as your dropped iPhone plunges towards an unforgiving pavement.


But now inventors have devised an unlikely answer to one of modern life’s most expensive little mishaps – an airbag for your smartphone.


Motion-sensing technology already built into most smartphones is used to detect when it has dropped – and the mini airbag is then deployed before it hits the floor.


The idea is the brainchild of retail and technology giant Amazon, which has patented the protective system for mobile phones, electronic readers such as Amazon’s own Kindle, computer tablets and cameras.


This week the company won approval for the patent, which was filed in America by Amazon’s founder, Jeff Bezos, 48, a self-made billionaire who has forged a career from pioneering ideas.
