Show HN: iPhone case that mutes your microphone

My friend and I designed an iPhone case that mutes all the microphones so even if someone did remote turn on your mic, this could mute it.

Great idea. You should make it always muted and the user could flip a switch or slide something to ummute.

Also why not do a full privacy case? Sliding cover for cameras. Maybe faraday cage?


oh man thats intense. we plan to release the CAD so hopefully someone can take it to that next level!


A great idea and something i would definitely buy. However, its crazy that we are at a stage where we have to willfully sabotage our devices to feel safe.


Does it work for phone calls?


That's a bit tricky. We figured it the kickstarter gets a good response we will make that better. As it stands, the iphone has several mics and the os uses which ever has the best audio
