I love this instructable. I can't wait for full multimeter modules to be available for smartphones.

What fusing on the leads should I use to protect the phone against inadvertently placing across mains voltage?

Great idea! Having a continuity tester in your phone is much better than having to carrying around a multimeter all the time.
