1. An injector comprising:
a) a housing;
b) a syringe movably positioned within the housing, the syringe comprising a plunger and a needle, and housing a medication therein;
c) a removable member that is completely removable from the housing;
d) a control comprising a control release and releasably secured to the housing, wherein when released upon application of a force to the control release, the control automatically drives the syringe to expose the needle outside of the housing and automatically drives the plunger to distribute the medication through the needle; and
e) one or more biasing members disposed between engaging the housing and the control and moving the control upon applying the force to the control release;
wherein the removable member secures the control to the housing and prevents the control release from releasing the control and, after the removable member is removed from the injector, the control is releasable from the housing, upon application of the force, to engage the syringe; and
wherein the injector is housed within a mobile device case or within an injector case secured to the mobile device case.
