Yellow Jacket is an iPhone case with a stun gun inside.
Flip down a hinged cover to reveal two small metal prongs. Slide the safety switch and a press of a button will deliver 650 volts to an attacker. The stun function is powered by a separate battery (not your phone’s) which makes the case heavy, but the extra peace of mind in a dark parking lot may be worth it.
More information is available at www.yellowjacketcase.com/

Guaranteed to really piss your attacker off so he not only takes your phone, but hurts you, too

Jack Spirko tried this product out and it simply doesn’t work.

I carry my phone in my front pants pocket. What are the chances that this gadget will misfire? Should I have a lawyer handy on speed dial? Probably need 911 first!

There is a typo here. It delivers 650,000 Volts (650KV), not 650 volts.

Hey, it’s an NBC news site. What a 1000x factor among friends?

My friend Jack Spirko, host of
The Survival Podcast, reviewed it awhile back. Jack said it is crap. He has been stun-gunned before, in military training, and he said this gun was a joke. No 'kick'. He said that it would be fine if you just want the extra battery power for your iPhone, but there are other cases that do that.
I don't know, I haven't tried it, but I trust Jack on a lot of gear reviews.
Sorry.
