1. A method comprising:
- determining whether acceleration data collected by an acceleration sensor of a mobile electronic device satisfies a threshold associated with the acceleration data;
when the acceleration data satisfies the threshold, swelling a component of the mobile electronic device to absorb shock from the mobile electronic device impacting a surface;
changing a color of a portion of the component at a location of impact based on an impact sensor;
detecting radiation via a third sensor of the mobile electronic device; and
informing a user of the mobile electronic device of the radiation in response to the detecting of the radiation.
