This Man's iPhone Saved Him From a Shotgun Blast
So this is what Apple Care means

It looks like the iPhone 5C's plastic casing isn't as cheap as it looks.
Daniel Kennedy, a 25-year-old British man, escaped wihout major injury when his green iPhone protected him from an onslaught of pellets fired toward him during a scuffle. Police say that an October 2014 fight between him and another man turned violent over water issue, which angered the suspect so much that he shot at Kennedy using a sawn-off shotgun. The suspect reportedly shot Kennedy in the chest, but the blast hit the iPhone and protected him from any life-threatening injuries.
"Fortunately, the victim's mobile phone took the brunch of the shot and, as a result of this, he survived," a police officer said, according to Marketwatch. "This is remarkable – had that phone not been in his pocket at that time he would undoubtedly have died."
Feel free to use that in your marketing materials, Apple.
