On the second page it says low caliber so maybe .22 or .25? I wonder if my HTC one x will stop a bullet? Don't think ill be finding that out anytime soon.

Well we don't know if the bullet hit something else before impact however the glass and electronics could have flexed and absorbed quite a bit of energy and if the back of the case was metal that would have helped also the hole in the glass isn't round so an angle hit and the fact the phone was essentially free hanging in his pocket acted like a sponge and absorbed the impact, not to mention the employees chest muscles also buffering the now 3"x5" flat projectile instead of a .22/.38 slug

 

reminds you of the old flask/ciggie case stopping a bullet in the war movies don't it ?

 

"Low Caliber"  ??  could we get more vague most folks I know that carry consider anything not starting in a 4   a low caliber

The temperature did drop to the 70s, last week. I'm sure everyone is wearing their winter coats...

Being a revolver, I would guess .22 although I could be wrong. Sure would be nice to know though!

Maybe it was an ATT cell phone. I've heard nothing gets through them, especially phone calls. :rofl:

Kevlar phone?

Probably a 22 cal revolver shooting shorts. I know that shorts still have an impact but I think a cell phone could possibly stop one if fired at a distance.........jmho
