UK-based Tech 21 have devised a real-life, mailable, flubber-esque gel that becomes rigid on impact. This substance dubbed “d30″ is used to safeguard an iPhone or iPod Touch from owners with buttery fingers.
According to the product page, d30 cases can offer up to “150% more protection than other cases”. Of course, that protection doesn’t extend to the screen, which is probably your number one concern. [Tech 21 and Recombu via CrunchGear]

Nice product!
but the drop test can’t all to be credited to them.. I dropped mine right on the corner and and it was fine.
They wanna wow everyone?
Make a case for a chicken egg and drop that egg from the same spot.. that would be impressive.
Props to Aussie innovation though.
