Startup Turns iPhone Into Personal Protection Device

iphone coyote case Coyote Case is turning the iPhone into a personal protection safety device.

The Coyote Case is an ingenious smartphone case that contains a powerful panic alarm system. But that’s not all. In addition to the piercing 100+ decibel siren is a Bluetooth-enabled security app. When the button on the exterior of the case is pushed, the siren is activated and the app invokes an emergency text message that includes the user’s GPS location. The message is sent immediately to their pre-selected contacts. It deters would-be attackers while alerting others for help in the immediate area and remotely.
