An iPhone 5c took the brunt of a shotgun blast that was fired to kill a 25-year old British man. The iPhone 5c's polycarbonate case was deformed but not punctured, and while it received much of the impact, the victim was still seriously injured.
"[The attacker's] actions that night were extreme and shocking - the victim went outside to speak to the group about the fact they had turned off the water supply resulting in the defendant shooting him with a powerful weapon," Cheshire Police Detective Inspector Gary McIntyre said in a statement.
Launched in 2013, the Apple iPhone 5c features coloured plastic case but is reinforced with a steel frame.
