It might add almost five pounds to the weight of your phone, but this armored iPhone case with one-inch of thick steel plating on the back is promised to stop a .50 caliber round. So what you’re really paying $650 for is peace of mind.

Unfortunately you’ll want to make sure any snipers are targeting the back of your phone when it’s entombed in this case, because the front leaves your display exposed and is only protected by a thin aluminum facade. And even though the back is highly protected, there’s still a hole bored out for the camera lens which means a particularly talented marksman could still take out your iPhone with a well placed shot.
