          Ritzie, 04 Aug 2014It's actually possible. Last year, HTC Evo 3D saved a man ... moreIf you care to do some checkup then you see that this bullet first went through the upper arm and then through the phone. Fortunately it was a weak caliber in a "modified" or improvised gun, most likely a caliber .32 which is not great, still enough to pass through a mans arm but just barely, and only a thin arm. If it was a regular handgun like a Glock 9mm it would have continued into the chest.

          A .32 will shoot through any cellphone that comes in its way even if its a weak caliber.

          About that HTC EVO 3D story, it was a small caliber revolver, a .22 LR gun for plinking.

            Repost: Heres the real story, the bullet went through his upper arm first, not hitting bone, and then through the phone. Anyone who think that a phone alone can stop a bullet need to get their top floor checked. The pictures even show a lot of blood on the shirt, dont you guys take a hint at all??

            In addition it was not a powerful gun as mentioned in the Chinese source, maybe even just a .32 or a .25 ACP. The biggest caliber for pocket guns is .380 ACP, its diameter is same as 9mm but has lighter bullets at lower speed. A full metal jacket 9mm would easily have continued deep into the chest after ripping through the upper arm and the phone.

                        It shows Sammy so desperate!
                        Seriously to stop a bullet with a piece of plastic sounds funny!
                        Can someone confirm this?

                                This is BS. No photo of the bullet, the person who was shot, photo of his chest, or report from the police
