Safeskin is an anti-theft phone accessory like no other. Drawing on technological innovation, fashion-forward notions and smart design, Safeskin's protection system is quite interesting and impenetrable. The [Indiegogo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unpluq-tag) campaign boasts a special [high-tech case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/phone-case-30) that locks onto the phone and cannot be removed without a color code. The "Eye" component is linked wirelessly with the case via the Safeskin mobile application and alerts a user when the device is out of the safety range. As a bonus feature, the screen on the phone freezes, "making the touchscreen inaccessible."

The [anti-theft phone case](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anti-theft-1) also prevents the robber from turning off the stolen device via a "unique sleep/wake button." To appeal to the fashion-minded consumer, Safeskin is a product that is sleek and stylish. The Eye feature is also said to be more than just a gadget, as it can be worn as a bracelet.
