Japanese company Marudai has created what is possibly the most awesome yet impractical iPhone 4 cases ever. It’s awesome because it can stop a .50 caliber bullet. It’s impractical because, well, it can stop a .50 caliber bullet. Specifically, in order to stop such a round the case features a backplate made from one inch of steel armor, weights 4.6 pounds, and has a hole drilled into it so the onboard camera is even usable. Additionally, only the back of the case is armored, and the phone requires a second case (which comes included) so it doesn’t get damaged while nestled inside its protective shell. When you factor in the almost $650 US (52,500 yen) pricetag, you’re looking at a novelty paperweight at best.
For the guy who has everything......or for Gecko45.

weights
4.6 pounds, 
and has a hole drilled into it
I'm guessing it won't float when dropped out of a kayak ...

My thought exactly. "Exit wound? What exit wound? It just cut him in half!"

Gott get me one, right after I get the picatinny knife for my pistol.

Gotta wonder if that inch of steel helps or hurts reception? It definitely promotes the use of a hands free device :)
