We’ve always known our cases are protective, but one customer’s story shows just how strong they really are.

Damon Reed from Mt. Sterling, KY sent in a truly astounding story of what happened when a bullet hit his son Anthony’s iPhone in a CandyShell Clear case.

Anthony was driving to get something eat when someone fired a bullet that hit his car on the driver’s side. According to his account, the bullet collided with Anthony’s iPhone 6 Plus, which had a CandyShell Clear case on it.

From the pictures above and below, you can see the bullet hit the side of the case and phone, which took the brunt of the damage. Anthony came away with only minor injuries, and Damon says the case prevented more serious damage.

Check out Damon’s story below:

“Here’s the story, my son Anthony was driving down the road when a stray bullet struck his car. The bullet hit the driver’s side door, came up through the seat, hit my son’s phone (which was luckily laying under his left leg in the seat) and then barely grazed his leg before coming to rest inside the car. I can’t thank you guys enough for the quality of your product.”
