Imagine if you will, a car that can not only resist scratches, but also heal them should they occur... Sounds a little like something out of a science fiction movie, you say? We admit too that it does. But what you might not realize is that we're not talking about something out of futuristic flying car or anything of the sort. We're talking about vehicles like the new Nissan Murano SUV and Nissan 370Z Roadster.

Nissan Scratch Shield technology has been gracing the new Nissan lineup for some time now, and the Japanese automaker figures that it's about time for them to expand the impressive technology into new markets. So where will Nissan Scratch Shield technology be appearing next? The iPhone. No, it won't actually be in a future iteration of Apple's lauded device. Rather it will be used for cases to protect it. This makes perfect sense too if you ask use. After all, aside from cars, the only thing that people are more worried about being scratched is their precious phones.

"We like to think laterally by taking the great innovations we've got from an automotive point of view, and looking at how they could be applied to improve everyday issues," says Nissan Overseas Program Director of Business Development, Bob Laishley. "The Scratch Shield iPhone case is a great example of us taking a Nissan automotive technology that has had a huge impact for our customers, and then shifting the boundaries to apply it to another everyday demand."¹

Wondering when you can protect your iPhone? This ingenious case just entered the beta testing phase. So a production model shouldn't be too far off. In fact, some are even claiming that the Nissan iPhone case could be hitting the market later this year. Either way, you can count on the auto gurus here at 2050 US Highway 130 Monmouth Junction, NJ 08852 to keep you informed.

Of course, if you're more interested in checking out vehicles like the Nissan Armada, Quest, and Frontier in person, there's really no need to wait. You can simply contact us online or by phone at (866) 948-7473 to learn more about any new or used Nissan that we carry.
