    Brilliant, Overdue App Forces Your Phone to Take Horizontal Videos

But there’s finally a solution to this problem.

    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.
