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.

The march of progress doesn’t always move as quickly as we’d like, however, especially when the military-industrial complex is involved. While 3D printing machines are becoming steadily cheaper and the possibilities incredibly sophisticated, the disparate branches of the U.S. armed forces tend to move slowly, weighed down by procedure and convention. However, there’s plenty of evidence to believe that’s changing when 3D printing is concerned.

But, at the National Defense University, some of the nation’s top brass are actually playing out the scenarios. In fact, a group of generals just finished a rather innovative year-long wargame.
