It needs internal electronics, maybe mini speakers.

they cast an additional cavity in a prosthetic arm and that's the big thing?

His story sounds like it is straight out of the Will Smith sci-fi film, in which the actor plays a man with a high-tech mechanical limb

if the phone sensed nerves in his arm and articulated fingers in a prosthetic hand sure

That's no more a technological marvel than a pleather cell phone case IMO. Looks highly convenient though.

A USB plug with a little chemical energy cell - give it blood, and it extracts what it needs to put out 5VDC. :D

Then whore yourself out as a mobile charging station.
