The smartphone has just gotten a little bit dumber.

Neon colored silicone skins, at times filled with glittery materials, are to be used for absorbing shock when dropping your smartphone, as a waterproof case, and a stylish statement.   The waterproof case is still under testing.  The jelly like material is to be used in a soft skin like case that covers all sides of your smartphone, and a very thin skin of transparent silicone is to cover the front and back of the case, sealing it, to make it water proof, or at least water resistant.  The release timeframe is targeted for this summer, when people hope to enjoy…additional uses for silicone on the beaches.
