3 Self Defense Accessories For Your iPhone

        

The Famous Knucklecase

I say famous because once such an accessory gets into the hands of celebrities like Rihanna, Alicia Keys and Megan Fox, it simply cannot have a lower status. It's basically an iPhone bumper with knuckles on one side.

The original Knucklecase is made out of aluminum, making it highly resilient. However, don't think "violence" because its makers state it was designed as an iPhone handle and nothing more. Should you decide to do anything else with it, is entirely your own responsibility.

The Knucklecase doesn't come very cheap. The iPhone 4 & 4s compatible versions cost from 39 to 49$ and the 5 & 5s versions are in the 120-125$ range.

The Yellow Jacket

If the Knucklecase doesn't really seem like an effective self-defense solution (unless you have some training in that matter) wait 'till you see the Yellow Jacket. It's a 650.000 volts stun gun that can at least stop your offender temporarily and allow you to run for your life or you can use that power to give your phone a full recharge.

The Yellow Jacket is not some fancy accessory, so it comes with a pretty comprehensive manual and online tutorials are provided for correct use. Should you decide to give it a try know that the Yellow Jacket adds some serious weight to your iPhone. It's a hate it or love it kind of situation.

Also, putting it together to fit your iPhone is not an easy task, requiring a bit of strength and a lot of patience. Priced at 99$, the Yellow Jacket is currently available in multiple colors for iPhone 4 & 4s, with new models compatible for iPhone 5 & 5s as well as Samsung Galaxy scheduled to arrive soon.

SmartGuard

Another option to weaponize your iPhone is adding a pepper spray to it. SmartGuard is a case holding a small canister of pepper spray, which you can quickly release and use when you're in a bad situation.

The spray can go as far as 5 feet, irritating your attacker's eyes, skin and respiratory system. It's less violent than the Yellow Jacket, but probably more effective at debilitating someone. The canister is very easy to remove and place back in the case so as long as you have your phone in handy you'll get to use it within just a few seconds.

Sure you could get a regular pepper spray, but this one has another advantage, besindes being able to carry it attached to your phone: it looks harmless enough so your attacker will probably be clueless until you spray him with the 10% Oleoresin Capsicum solution.

SmartGuard is available for 35$, in several colors on the SabreRed website.
