Smartphone Case N
The video is in Japanese, but even so, Honda's "Power of Dreams" vision comes shining through in this compelling video of one engineer's dream.

Hope Honda knows Jeff Bezos and Amazon owns the patent - filed in 2010

I'm pretty certain the video is supposed to be tongue-in-cheek.
What is compelling about the video are the production values and the acting that transcends the language barrier. I don't anticipate that Honda will enter the smartphone case market with a device this ridiculous. For me, it has been good for some genuine laughs and an appreciation for the artistic value of the video. But thanks for the information. It will be interesting to see what Amazon brings to the market in this regard.

Yep - found another story where a translator shared that the last line of kanji on the youtube said "this is fiction".
However, the patent I shared is real. And Amazon will probably have it ready by the time their drones are delivering packages to your dog within 1/2 hour
