ROLLE, Switzerland - Nissan announced the latest must-have for the iPhone - a self-healing iPhone case. The Nissan Scratch Shield iPhone case features the brand's pioneering self-healing paint finish, a paint technology developed in 2005 and already used on a number of Nissan and Infiniti models. Now, the technology has been applied to a product that's prone to scratches through everyday use - the smart phone.
Developed by Nissan in collaboration with University of Tokyo and Advanced Softmaterials Inc., the Scratch Shield paint finish was initially designed for automotive use and is available on the Nissan Murano, 370Z and X-Trail along with the Infiniti range of products. The technology is being trialed for the first time on a non-automotive product in Europe, with the Nissan Scratch Shield iPhone case.
