It was a Sprint phone!

Looks like a small caliber bullet was used, probably a .22, anyway talk about a 1 in a million shot.

Yeah, had it been anything bigger then it probably would have gone clean thru. Seems like someone was having a pretty lucky day (other than being held up and shot at).

Only Sprint phones come with crime deterrent.

That looks like an Evo 3D. I guess my phone is more useful than I originally thought.

This is the second time that I've heard of an HTC device stopping a bullet. The first time was the original EVO 4G.

 

I bet you your little Galaxy couldn't do that...

I was going to post this last night but the server came with my beer and I forgot about it.

wouldnt the galaxy's cover more area and still have the similar protection. It the phone was on of the iphones made with a glass back the bullet would of actually gone through with some glass

The galaxy line cheap plastic can't stop squat lol. The battery is what stopped the bullet with the original evo and this time with the evo 3d also.

If it is the battery that stops it then the "cheap plastic" wouldnt have an effect of it. It would be up to the battery of the phone. And gotta remember the galaxy captivate wasnt using cheap plastic, and that phone I couldnt break even when I tried to break it by throwing it on the ground.

I'm trying to think of where the Phone was when he got shot.  In his shirt pocket?

"Winter Garden Police said in an email that a clerk had just minor injuries after a robber fired a bullet at his abdomen. Police say his cellphone stopped it" http://news.msn.com/crime-justice/fla-police-cellphone-stops-bullet-fired-by-robber

 

Sounds like abdominal area.  Pry had a jacket or a hoodie, or something similar with front pockets.

HTC gave him a new ONE and some swag
