A Japanese company has created an iPhone case to help parents stop their kids from becoming too addicted¹ to their phones.

 

日本一家公司发明了一款苹果手机壳，可以帮家长阻止孩子过分沉迷于手机。
 

 

The case, called the Otomos, is fixed² to the phone and cannot be removed without a special screw.

 

Otomos pairs up with an app that allows parents to limit the child's daily phone usage. If the child exceeds their daily limit, the phone will automatically enter sleep mode.

 

Motion detectors³ built into the case are also able to deactivate⁴ the phone automatically while the child is walking.

 

Otomos, which was created by Momo Ltd, can also send automatic messages to parents' phones if it senses that a significant physical shock, such as an accident, has taken place.

 

The smartphone case had earlier raised some $8,000 on Japanese crowdfunding platform Makuake.

 

As of now, the case seems to be compatible with only iPhones, so if you're an Android family, you'll just have to keep your kids away from their phones some other way.
