Self-healing iPhone case by Nissan



To all iPhone users out there, Nissan has announced the World's first self-healing iPhone case. The chemical behind this self healing is the Polyrotaxane , which is currently used in X-Trail, 370Z and now coming to iPhone  cases. When any damage occurs to the coating, the chemical structure of polyrotaxane changes back to its original shape and thus filling the gap. 


Nissan has created only a limited number of cases as prototypes and is available for beta customers and some journalists. If this prototype case passes the test, the self-healing case will go on sale later this year.


Nissan's overseas programme director Bob Laishley said,
"The Scratch Shield iPhone case is a great example of us taking a Nissan automotive technology that has had a huge impact for our customers, and then shifting the boundaries to apply it to another everyday product"
