D3O and Smartshield: Make Your Phone Near-Indestructible for $50?

Have you heard of D30 phone cases or Supershield screen protectors?

Channel 7 is suggesting it will stop cracked phone screens for good. And it seems pretty convincing when they start smashing it with a hammer. You can see the video here:

Apparently D30 won the Queen's enterprise award in 2014

Are these products worth it? Is there something they're not telling us? Can they be found cheaper elsewhere?

What do you think?

  • The D30 phone case technology is legit. Worth the $50. Threw it across the room on purpose and did not even make a scratch

      Was the phone in the case?

    They seem to be only $21 USD on Amazon for IP6 case, and around $10 dollars for an older Galaxy Note 4 model and a mere $3.80 for a Lumia 925 model

    Do they really go for $50? (Knowing the 'Australia tax' imposed on electronics, they might, in which case $50 is far too much to pay for a case like that)

  • Where can you get that screen protector they showed (that $50 dollar one with the hammer) can't find it anywhere!

    • Well Channel 7 had an 'expert' from Fone King, so maybe that's where you can buy it?

    $50 for a non-newtonian fluid is highway robbery. There is literally no innovation in this product and they are relying on the sheeple to fall hook, line and sinker. The concept is legit but wait for the clones which will have similar material properties for a fraction of the price.

        7 were probably paid to promote. Think "but if you buy in the next x we'll throw in" … "for only 12 easy payments of" … Habib looks pretty stoked in the video though. Looks like someone's getting a new Skyline for Christmas.

        • True. Just realised I replied to you instead of xDiiThy so now I replied to him/her too haha.

  • Isn't D3O already used in some of Tech21's cases?
