Railroaders place to shoot the shit.

iPhone case doubles as a

stun gun that shocks with

650,000 volts

By: Jamison Uhler

TAMPA ­ It seems that everywhere you go these days

everyone has a case on their smartphone to protect it from just

about anything. But how about a case that protects you? Yup,

they now exist.

And George Sidler is one of the first to jump on board. The case became very attractive because you always have

your phone in your hand, says Sidler. George Sidler is like most husbands and fathers. He worries about his

family's safety. That is why he recently ditched his entire family's old iPhone cases and replaced it with something

called the Yellow Jacket.

The phone case with a catchy name is a 650,000 volt stun gun in the palm of their hand and on the tip of their

iPhone. His wife Kelly just got the pink one. If something happens it's readily available. I can flip the switch down

and enact it, says Kelly.

Yellow Jackets website shows you how to use the cutting edge cell phone case. Just flip the safety cover off and in

two seconds, you have a shocking self defense weapon with 13 times more volts than a police stun gun. It also

comes with a reserve battery on the bottom that extends your phone's battery by 20 hours.

ABC Action News got our hands on two of them. We took it to Tampa Police Corporal Mike Rivera who's a stun gun

instructor for new recruits. While he wouldn't endorse the product, he did volunteer to try the Yellow Jacket on

himself.

The concept is kind of neat but it is pain compliance and pain compliance, if you're motivated enough, you can fight

through the pain, says Rivera as he repeatedly shocks his left forearm with the blue bolt of electricity. Even with a

lower voltage, Rivera says a police stun gun packs more of a sting than the Yellow Jacket but he says Yellow

Jacket's 650,000 volts can stun anyone if they are hit in the right spot. Rivera says the neck and pelvic area are the

most sensitive.

Now the big question is the $140 price tag worth it? Rivera says it's up to the buyer. I think it's a huge deterrent

without a doubt. I mean just hearing that arcing sound, I think that can be a deterrent in itself, he says.

Kelly says that's all she hopes for if she ever found herself in a "shocking" situation. It would stun somebody

enough for you to at least get away and get a head start and get out of there, says Sidler.

Here are just some of the unique iPhone cases that also double as a self­defense weapon:

Is it worth it? A regular stun cost $10. I think I want a regular one.

Obviously, you would be missing out on the KEWLNESS factor with a regular one.  Instead, you could be the first on your block to have one, heck, you could be the first on the RR to have one safely stashed away in your grip.  Don't you get it?

Imagine the surprised look in some evildoers' eyes when you light him up with your Iphone.  

I'm sure I would be the one accidentally zapping myself.

Webmistress Rob, sniff, sniff, cold heartless mean bastard Snippy is being mean. Again. Does he ever stop? No.

Was stating facts, wasn't a complaint.
