What the world really needs to ban: a gun designed to look like a phone
The product was designed with safety as a priority. A brand everyone can trust, a piece they can rely on, over and over.

This endangers people. Not necessarily the people who buy this, or the people they might think about shooting with it, but the people with actual phones who will get shot by assholes who give as their excuse "there are guns that look like phones, I thought it could be one of those".

...in places OC is acceptable. This would be more like 'discrete' carry. Packing a gun that looks like a phone in the open won't likely equal concealed carry in the eyes of the law. I'm not seeing this as a very useful product but more of a novelty. So, it will probably sell like hotcakes.
This is kind of a really stupid toy.
Two shots may not be enough in an actual SD encounter.
LE encounters may end badly for many.
This is probably best left to the secret agents and paranoid drug pushers. 
It's not like me to forget that tag.

useful to stop an attack by an individual who has the intention of putting me in a hospital for an extended period or six feet under and has the ability to do so.
In my opinion two .380 caliber rounds fired from what is effectively a derringer lacks the stopping power to be capable of accomplishing this purpose.
I prefer to carry a .38+P S&W Model 642 revolver in my pants pocket. It holds 5 rounds of significantly more powerful ammo and I can merely put my hand in my pocket and draw the revolver and it’s ready to fire. No fiddling around to turn it from something that looks like a phone to a weapon. Plus I can buy the Model 642 with laser sights for less than the Ideal Conceal.
Another factor is that if I am attacked it is quite possible that drawing a snub nosed revolver will deter my attacker and cause him to run away. That may not happen if I grab something that looks like a cell phone from my belt and point it at my attacker. I have no desire to ever have to shoot someone unless it is absolutely necessary. Of course I would never pull my weapon unless I thought the situation met those requirements. However if the attacker turned and ran before I could pull the trigger that would be fine with me.
