A new protector helps defend the iPhone 5 against scratching and impact.

The typical smartphone screen protector helps defend against keys or coins chafing against your mobile while they're sharing a pocket, but it's questionable how much difference they'd make in a more forceful situation.

The PADACS Fortress product for the iPhone 5 - combining a screen protector with a shock absorbent film for the rear cover - is made of sterner stuff if this video can be believed:

Other claimed benefits include stretch resistance and a repositionable silicon adhesive which combine to ease application and the removal of air bubbles, plus a non-slip finish.

"At $29.95, the Fortress for iPhone 5 competes directly with inferior screen protectors," said PADACS CEO Raaj Menon.

That price includes a second screen protector.
