The Lockitron system by Apigy combines an electric deadbolt with a plug server connected via an Ethernet cable. You use your smartphone to communicate with the server controlling the lock over the web (the data is encrypted and avoids potentially dangerous Wi-Fi systems) to open or close the bolt. The Lockitron also has an available NFC option for select phones and accepts physical keys in the event of an emergency. Another interesting feature is the ability to make digital "keys" and send them via email to friends, relatives, or drunken exes.
The initial setup cost runs from $295-$500, so you're definitely going to be investing more than your average Schlage but how else will you be able to open your house like a Jetta? You can find it here.

or you just put your phone under the door and pull it, works sometimes for me

This sounds like a terrible idea, at least to me. If it is electronic, someone can hack it. At least with normal keys, they have to kick my door down or be skilled at lock picking.
Easy to hack, bad.
car theft will go up, but still a nice invention
The FUTURE!
Sounds kinda insecure...interfering the phone -> lock conecting and then copiing the signal....sounds awesome, but I'm not convinced yet.
nice - but no good for me...my phone is the first thing to get lost on a night out :)
haha thats mint! I wish I could do that!
Awesome idea. Will try to do that some day!
I still like my old standard dead bolt!
$300? :|
I can foresee having fun with this by hacking in to it with your computer: *some is trying to leave your house, lock door, unlock to screw with them, repeat.*
I foresee many bad things happening with this.
