My wife’s uncle works in a military hospital and told me about this. Its pretty amazing. Kevin Garrad (3rd Infantry Division) was on a street patrol in Iraq (Tikrit I believe) and as he rounded the corner of a building an armed (AK-47) insurgent came from the other side.
The two of them were within just a few feet of each other when they opened fire. The insurgent was killed and Kevin was hit in the left chest where his IPod was in his jacket pocket. It slowed the bullet down enough that it did
Another reason why everyone should have an iPod!

That’s pretty much the only reason for Apple products.
I think someone deserves a new iPod for Christmas.
Do the thinner ones offer the same bullet protection?
@ Kmuza - I’ve seen this story elsewhere, and I believe that Apple sent him a new one =)
I’m assuming the thinner aren’t as bullet friendly as the old ones for the fact that the new ones as much thinner.
Thats cool though how Apple sent him a new one, i didn’t know that.
wow apple should give him a new ipod lol
