Yellow Jacket iPhone 5/5S Stun Gun Case Zaps CES

You might recall last summer when a case for the iPhone 4/4S tuned up that turned the iPhone into a stun gun. A new case surfaced at the recent 2014 International CES from the same company, Yellow Jacket. The new case will turn the iPhone 5/5S into a stun gun.

The case is available in multiple colors, including pink. It has a removable stun gun and the case itself is made out of TPE material. The stun gun can deliver 650,000 volts to an attacker.

That will certainly make you lay down on the floor and take notice if you get zapped with it. It has ambidextrous triggers and you have to flip back a safety strap to use the stun gun before you deliver a jolt to an attacker. It’s also 50% more powerful than the previous model. Ouch.

One thing about the case that is clear from this BBC video is that it is very bulky.  The Yellow Jacket stun gun case for the iPhone 5/5S will sell for $149.99(USD) and is available for pre-order now.

DIY Stun Glove: You Got the Touch! You Got the Power!

A couple of years ago we saw a pair of taser gloves made with everyday items. But both gloves had to be in contact with the target in order for them to deliver a shock. GreekGadgetGuru’s stun glove lets you ward off attackers with just one hand.

The metal spikes on the glove are wired to the stun gun on his wrist. GreekGadgetGuru made it so that the polarity of the fingers are alternating. This means he only has to touch something – or someone – with two adjacent fingers for the current to flow. He also incorporated what appears to be a flex sensor into the glove’s switch, enabling him to toggle the flow of electricity just by flexing his hand.

Send GreekGadgetGuru a message on Facebook if you want to know how he made the stun glove. Then send a message to all the jerks who – nope. Just kidding. Breathe. Easy.

The Yellow Jacket was created by Louisiana resident Seth Froom. It’s supposed to deliver a shock and at the same time, double as an external battery for your iPhone.

If it tickles your fancy, you can head over to the Indiegogo crowdfunding site. A $100 pledge will get you your Yellow Jacket – assuming the project gets funded. Just keep in mind that stun guns aren’t legal in all states and countries, so check with your local laws before ordering one.
