Just when you thought the world was getting safer, along come all of these atypical bulletproof creations to remind you that it's still a jungle out there. Nowadays, Kevlar isn't used for just bulletproof vests and car armor; it's put into everything from clipboards to polo shirts. As the old saying goes, it's better to have a bulletproof baby stroller and not need it, then to need it and not have it.
These atypical bulletproof creations may be a little frightening, but don't fret, as they don't necessarily signal the coming of a more dangerous future. If anything, these bulletproof shoes and smartphone cases are a symbol of human ingenuity, and a sign that design creativity is still alive and well. If you consider yourself something of a VIP, then you're going to want to have a long look at all of these atypical bulletproof creations.
