 Loading ... The X Torsion cellphone concept was created by designer Francisco Lupin as a tool for extreme sports fans and athletes. This stylish piece of gadgetry is made out of two parts: A TPE elastometer cover, able to any size of forearm by stretching and the keyboard/display section.

The above mentioned elastometer cover is available in different colors and you can wash it after you use the handset for extreme sports. X Torsion supports free flexing and it allows the athlete to move easily and perform his activities, without feeling that he’s using a phone.

This device also shows the consumed calories, by using a bunch of sensors and it also comes with a stopwatch and altimeter, plus the standard functions of a phone.
