Abstract
A mobile application communicates with an accelerometer in a mobile device to detects when a mobile device has been dropped. When the application detects that the device is dropped, it activates one or more protective features in the device. The protective features may result in physical changes in the device itself. For example, the protective feature may include activating the vibration feature of the device and increasing the voltage supplied to the vibration feature so that the device is vibrating at an increased vibration intensity when it contacts the ground. The vibrations can help to deflect, absorb, or otherwise mitigate the impact force imparted on the device from the contact surface or ground.
