Spraytect iPhone Pepper Spray Case
Hmm, not so sure I feel about this one. I agree that pepper spray buried inside a purse is pretty useless in times of need. I also agree, most folks always seem to know exactly where their iPhone is at all times. So, in theory, the idea of combining pepper spray and an iPhone case […]
