iPhone Survives 1000 Free Fall With The G-Form X-Protect Case [VIDEO]



It’s not everyday that you get to watch an iPhone being dropped from the Sky. The crew over at G-Form, decided to drop an iPhone from about 1000 feet above the ground while cliff jumping. It’s interesting to see such videos, because we love watching iPhones being thrashed, dropped and dragged around, don’t we? Unfortunately however, you drop your iPhone from say, 5 feet, and you’re sure to have a cracked screen.
G-Foam X-Protect Case Survives A 1000-Feet Free Fall [VIDEO]
G-Form, on the other hand, doesn’t want you to have a cracked screen. The iPhone in this video is protected using the X-Protect case, which uses their very own Reactive Protection Technology to save the iPhone from being torn apart. The case is made using a special material called Poron XRD that protects the iPhone from bad falls as it can absorb over 90 percent of the impact. In this new video, base jumpers drop an iPhone with the X-Protect case from 1000 feet, as it continues to record. Even after it hits ground zero, the iPhone continues to record and doesn’t show any signs of being dead. Of course, the iPhone isn’t actually shown and it did land on a surface covered with grass. Check out the video below.
They should try dropping it on to a concrete surface next! The G-Form X-Protect case is a really good case for your iPhone, especially if you’re one of those who like to drop your phone a lot. It looks cool too, but makes your iPhone look bulky at the same time. Well, if you’re going to try and drop your iPhone from anywhere close to 1000 feet, we would definitely recommend this case. Those interested, can head over to G-Form website and get the X-Protect case for $39.99. This case is designed for the iPhone 4/4S.

Hangup Calls By Turning Your iPhone On Its Face With Turn To Hangup Cydia Tweak



1
Here’s a new Cydia tweak for jailbroken iPhones that lets you hang up an incoming call by turning your iPhone on its face. For a long time Android devices have already had the feature to silence an incoming call, but this is a first. This tweak can be used when you want to quickly hangup a call while you’re in a meeting, driving etc.
Turn To Hangup Cydia Tweak
Turn to Hangup is a new tweak and has only one simple function, i.e, disconnecting an incoming call. To hangup a call that you don’t want to take or are too busy to take, just turn your iPhone on its face. The call will be instantly disconnected. However, I’m not sure if people prefer disconnecting calls to silencing them. There is an option to silence calls as well, which requires you to shake your iPhone. Anyhow, this tweak can come in handy and can be enabled/disabled anytime via the Settings app. There is no other options.
