Likely none, unless in some sort of super multilayer Kevlar case that is thick enough to disperse the energy from such a huge round.

There is. I watched a video on YouTube and the case was for the iPhone 5. It didn't break when shot by a rifle but the screen cracked when it hit the ground. Clearly, it only does what was written on the box.

We need to verify this Rene!

When the imore God gets his Gold 5s I will buy a .50 cal at the local dollar store and we can do a proper controlled test to see if this carries any weight 😀

It's easy to get a 50 than a 5s it seems

And in other news, Samsung announces that they too have been working on a phone that can't withstand being shot by a .50 cal. Android fanboys everywhere are stating that Apple wasn't first, Atrix was also capable of being destroyed by bullets. :)

No cell phone at the present time should be bullet proof. Other than people shooting their phones for videos WHO buys a phone with the thought. " I wonder if this is bullet proof? " The video was funny though, if only for the thought if it DID pass.. which of course it didn't. :/
