Abstract: A phone case can be configured to also function as a dispenser of pepper spray or another agent. The phone case can be configured to house a phone in a typical manner. Additionally, the phone case can house an agent dispensing assembly behind the phone so that it is hidden within the phone case. The agent dispensing assembly can include a trigger assembly that, when actuated, causes an agent to be sprayed from the phone case. The agent dispensing assembly may also include a key assembly that prevents the trigger assembly from being actuated unintentionally.
