Shooting A Cell Phone

It seems to this blogger that a lot depends on variables that cannot be controlled during such a test. (i.e. distance from the phone, type of clothing, location of phone, how loosely the phone is being held - is it tight against the body or is there a bit of play, did the bullet hit at 90 degrees or at an angle?)
But it is good to know that your phone is not going to protect you from a bullet - unless you are using it to call for help. 
If you want a more detailed description of the test and the logic behind it, there is a write up here:
