If you’re like me you’ve decided to play hacky sack with your cell phone several times. Nokia’s working on a way to protect my phone and break my feet at the same time. The casing in the works is a diamond like coating applied to plastic covers. The shielding is made by fusing coal ions to plastic casing. It turns out the material is tough, smooth, biodegradable and doesn’t attract dirt… all qualities I flaunt when talking to the ladies, but I digress.

This would help out any chronic phone droppers. As for phone misplacers, sorry, no Nokia LoJack yet. No word on when the new casing is expected to make it into user hands but lets cross our fingers and hope it’s soon. Hit the jump for more information on the process being used.
