Pocket Protector	comment	Oh no! The Hero just got shot! There's a hole in their shirt right over their heart... but what's this? They have something in their pocket? It stopped the bullet! They are saved! They got a Bible in there? It'll stop the bullet. Ditto for cellphones, and especially lockets; if it contains photographs of beloved ones, expect a large modifier (positive or negative, depending upon the scene) to the attack. While it may have worked in the days when guns were extremely underpowered (relatively speaking), these days the life-saved-by-sentimental-object trope is discredited; it's rare to find a 21st century example that plays it straight. It's important to note that most real-world examples involve ricochets, spent bullets, shrapnel or other low-velocity projectiles. It's a very lucky break when the round is moving slow enough to be stopped by anything so small and thin as what you can fit in a pocket. Also, pretty much any real-life example of a bullet being stopped by a Bible or other book in the victim's pocket will involve the book being stored in a silver or steel box, which obviously provides more resistance than just paper. One commonly-used justification is that it's an attempted assassination; silencers only work with subsonic rounds (any supersonic round makes a loud crack as it breaks the sound barrier, which a silencer can only do anything about by slowing the bullet down enough that it doesn't break the sound barrier in the first place) meaning appropriate bullets can thus be rendered nonlethal by many everyday objects capable of fitting into a pocket. This trope is usually an example of either Chekhov's Gun (if the object was introduced previously), Deus ex Machina (if the object was not previously introduced), or both (if the object was introduced, but couldn't be expected to stop a bullet). Often overlaps with Heart in the Wrong Place, if an item in the left breast pocket is claimed to have shielded the target's heart specifically. See Bulletproof Vest for things that are supposed to stop bullets.note Some of which in real life, incidentally, are fitted with protective ceramic plates stowed in pockets. Compare Concealment Equals Cover, where the hero is protected by something that isn't in their pocket. If bullets are stopped by an unwilling Mook or bystander, that's a Bulletproof Human Shield. For other uses for books, see Useful Book. For intentional versions with (usually) larger objects, see Improvised Armour. Invariably leads to a Wardrobe Wound. Not to be confused with the pocket protectors stereotypically worn by nerds. Nor to be confused with Pak Protectors.

Pocket Protector / int_13d2e7c3	comment	Inverted in an episode of the original live-action The Adventures of Superman series. The bad guys are holding Clark, Lois, and Jimmy hostage, and their boss insists Clark is Superman. The boss shoots Clark, who in turn reacts with surprise, and Lois and Jimmy are both convinced. Clark, however, reaches into his jacket and feels around thoughtfully. After the situation is resolved Clark reaches into his jacket, finds a silver dollar and dents it with his Super-Strength before pulling it out and claiming the bullet deflected off the coin. This is actually a Call-Back to one of the Superman comics.

The mobster shoots again, only to hit a piece of the True Cross he wears around his neck. Ned then flees before any more shots are fired, presumably because he realizes he's run out of religious objects. Parodied again in an episode when Homer is hit by a car — but is saved by the Bible in his crotch. This happens in another episode where Apu is shot in a Kwik-E-Mart robbery, with the bullet bouncing off another bullet that was previously lodged in him in a different robbery. In another episode, "The Ten-Per-Cent Solution", Bart accidentally fires a gun, and the bullet fails to wound Homer because it is stopped by another gun Homer happens to have in his back pocket.

Pocket Protector / int_27b0262b	comment	The MythBusters pretty much proved this trope was a myth, at least with modern firearms in mind. They tested normal everyday items like a book, a deck of cards, and a Zippo lighter and showed that they were all ineffective at stopping bullets. They also tested police/sheriff badges (outcome depends on how the badge is made — they put holes in two test badges, but the third type stopped a handgun round). In another episode, they tried the same with knives. A book, or a thick pile of paper (e.g. money), can save you. It takes about 60 or so sheets thick to stop the hardest hit the build team managed. In an episode regarding myths from the American Civil War, they showed it was plausible for a silver dollar of the time to stop a bullet. A pocket Bible, not so much. In another episode, they tested urban legends involving stories of items that stopped bullets. A laptop computer wouldn't, unless the bullet hit the battery. A hair weave didn't even slow the thing down; if that story was close to true, the bullet probably ricocheted around inside the woman's car and then got caught in the weave once it was too slow to be dangerous. Three pepperoni pizzas in a deliveryman's warming bag blocked most of the pellets from a shotgun firing birdshot, so you might survive (as was claimed by a pizza delivery boy). Buckshot at the same range, however, required 14 pizzas distributed between 5 warming bags before they could be stopped. During a final season revisit, Jamie and Adam took a second look at "Zippo lighter stops a bullet". While a bullet fired straight at the lighter went straight through, a ricocheted shot only dented it, earning Zippos a "Plausible".

The rifle is left with a bullet hole in the stock and barrel, and Rally is left with broken ribs as it was a fired from a fourteen-inch .45 Desert Eagle. Once, Rally is forced to shoot Roy, but deliberately aims at the revolver in his shoulder holster. There's also one time when she takes control of an assassin's arm and forces her to empty her magazine right at her chest... where she put a paperback novel just for the purpose. Justified by the circumstances; May was being held hostage in their hotel room and started Talking through Technique — referring to a "favorite piece" when she knows fully well that Rally is using a cheap throwaway gun due to her license being suspended. Rally thus realizes this, and makes the logical assumption of an assassin using a silenced small-caliber pistol.

In "The Killing Distance", Sir Gerald (barely) survives a sniper's bullet when it deflects off a medal on the costume he was wearing. In "The Hanging Judge", Willie is saved when a crossbow bolt deflects off the bandoleer of knives he is wearing. Again, he is left wounded, but alive and mobile.

When a shocked Ange asks how the hell she survived, Momoka reaches into her blouse and pulls out a cast-iron frying pan with the bullet still lodged in it. No that doesn't explain how she survived everything else(or why she's carrying a frying pan, or how the hell it fit in there), that's the joke.

He's heard stories of people being saved from a bullet by something they keep close to their chests and wonders if the dollar will save him in such a manner. He quickly dismisses the idea since a silver dollar by itself isn't going to stop bullets of the caliber being used by the Viet Cong. The silver dollar does save his life in a very different manner however.

When the killer trick'r'treater Sam tries to stab Grumpy Old Man Mr. Kreeg with a sharpened lollipop, the lollipop impales a candy bar that had fallen on Mr. Kreeg's chest. Sam takes this as an offering ("Something good to eat") and leaves Kreeg alive.

Pocket Protector / int_69a9c9ca	comment	In the novel From Russia with Love, James Bond is saved from Red Grant's bullet by his trusty cigarette case. Which Bond surreptiously put in place while the mentally dubious Grant explained how they'd set him up: Grant was using a special gun disguised in a book. Meant for public executions, it used a special low-power cartridge for minimum noise, and an expanding (dum-dum) bullet for maximum damage from the low power. As Fleming tended to play such tropes more realistically, the bullet still knocks the wind out of Bond and leaves him with a relatively shallow wound as he plays dead on the ground.

Pocket Protector / int_701f0ece	comment	Berserk: During the Hawks arc, General Julius tries to have Griffith assassinated with a poisoned arrow during the royal hunt, but the arrow is stopped by Griffith's Behelit (or as Berserk Abridged calls it, the "Portable Deus Ex Machina Generator") before it can reach his heart. Justified in that Behelits are supernatural instruments of fate that want to keep their owners alive until they can cross the Despair Event Horizon, and are likely Made of Indestructium to boot. Parodied in the manga, when the fanatically religious Knight Templar Bishop Mozgus is apparently stabbed with Guts' BFS, but then gets up and pulls out the book of scriptures he always keeps in his robes to show where it caught the thrust. He states that the scriptures are what his faith is based on, and that because of his faith he cannot be harmed by a "tainted blade". A couple characters point this out as complete nonsense, as the book was easily torn through and he was protected from the sword by his own incredibly hard scales. What's more, once he took his One-Winged Angel form, the Bible was incorporated into his flesh... making it the one part of his body not protected by scales and thus his Achilles' Heel for Guts to exploit.

The coin lands on its edge; stuck in a gap in the floorboards. Two-Face refuses to flip it again and puts the coin away in his breast pocket, saying it is now up to fate to determine if he should be good or evil. When a policeman shoots at Two-Face, the bullet deflects off the coin. When Two-Face looks at the coin, he sees that the bullet struck the scarred side of the coin. He takes this a sign that he is supposed to be a criminal. In The Return of Bruce Wayne, an amnesiac Bruce Wayne wakes up in hospital; his life apparently having been saved by Mordecai Wayne's journal he was carrying in his pocket.

When Gunvolt refuses, Asimov shoots him with Copen's gun first with its Septima-disabling function before firing an actual bullet through his heart to finish him off, followed swiftly by shooting Joule too.

It doesn't seem to have any purpose at first, but if you go through the final level again with it equipped, when Asimov shoots GV the necklace breaks but slows the bullet down, leaving GV in critical condition and allowing Joule, dying from her own gunshot wound, to gain the time and strength to merge her spirit with Gunvolt and bring him back with permanent Anthem for the True Final Boss fight.

Popeye and "Superman" have a one-upsmanship contest culminating in shooting each other with a Thompson sub-machine gun. Popeye is left for dead, then slowly gets to his feet, reaches into his sailor suit, and pulls out the can of spinach that has been in front of his chest, now riddled with bullet holes. He gives a Popeye chuckle, and says, "Saved by me spinach!" Also in one episode, at the losing end of a fencing duel against Bluto, disguised as the International, Popeye is saved from a finishing thrust by none other than a can of spinach hidden in his shirt.

In Diamond is Unbreakable, happen to Kira (the Big Bad). After Hayato Kawajiri uses the time loop caused by "Bites the Dust" to spill hot coffee on Kira, he puts his wrist watch inside of his shirt pocket instead of wearing it on his burned wrist. It saves his life when Hayato later tries to kill him with Stray Cat's air bullets. In the end, this destroyed watch makes Kira realize that his final desperate attempt to use Bites the Dust failed and he got turned into a ghost, as it should have been restored had the time loop succeeded.

After the two power down, it's revealed that Basco's bullet was caught by a piece of Sally's necklace that Marvelous had kept in his coat, saving his life. The biggest irony is that Basco had given Sally the necklace saying that it was a protective charm, when it was actually a bomb meant to kill Marvelous (which failed because Sally tried to contain the blast with her body at the last minute), and he ends up smiling at the realization as he dies.

The coin lands on its edge; stuck in a gap in the floorboards. Two-Face refuses to flip it again and puts the coin away in his breast pocket, saying it is now up to fate to determine if he should be good or evil. When a policeman shoots at Two-Face, the bullet deflects off the coin. When Two-Face looks at the coin, he sees that the bullet struck the scarred side of the coin. He takes this a sign that he is supposed to be a criminal.

Just before entering the final showdown, he puts his girlfriend's hairband over his forehead. As he steps out of hiding, he's immediately shot and falls over.

It then falls open — she's been unable to open it for years — and reveals a message left by her father, telling her to marry for no reason other than love. The characters take this as a sign that they should get married. (Amusingly, the tale of the Black Bandit is actually a story being told to a young girl. At this point, she gets upset because she thinks people in love should get together. Since he has to keep his sole audience happy, the story teller winds up having to invoke this trope and everything afterwards as a blatant Ass Pull.)

Blackadder psyches out Percy, who slips and accidentally fires an arrow into Baldrick's groin. Baldrick comments that fortunately, his "willy" prevented the arrow from going into his body. Blackadder the Third has a parody example; Edmund manages to avoid death by cannonball thanks to a cigarillo case he had in his chest pocket. "I always knew smoking was good for you," he remarks. It is then immediately invoked when Prince George is shot (this time with a flintlock) for his insolence. He then gets up, explaining that he too has a cigarillo case in his breast pocket. While trying to show it off, however, he can't find it and realizes that he left it on his dresser that morning, and promptly dies.

In the first two games, it took up an inventory slot of the character you chose to equip it to, while, in Mother 3, it's classified as a key item, and is always equipped to Lucas once you acquire it. The badge returned in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. When worn, it deflects projectiles for a set period of time.

The girl ducks back into the paper beast, readying her rescue attempt, and, after Nenene is saved, reveals the signed copy of Nenene's book, with a huge bullet hole through the cover, digging down through most of the book. She then says, "You need to write thicker books, my defense isn't so good..."
