iPhone cases that self heal when scratched
Yes, we thought this sounded crazy when we said it out loud, but Nissan have created a self healing paint technology that when applied to an iPhone case will heal itself if scratched. It is said that minor scratches take about an hour to heal and larger damage can take up to a week.
HOW? we hear you cry! Well the polyrotaxane based paint never really dries but will not mark any surface, nor does it feel wet. Amazing!
We will be keeping an eye out for this one for sure when it may be released later this year.
