It heals itself? How?
It uses a tactile, gel-like surface made of a chemical compound called polyrotaxane, which responds to small disturbances.

"In other words, it heals."
How long does it take for a scratch to disappear?
About an hour for a small scratch, though "the chemical reaction will continue to work its magic on more major damage for up to a week," says Time international Business Times. Though there's no word on pricing (yet), the case is expected to go into production later this year after a trial run.
