* The Book of Darkness of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's]]'' may fit, considering it has regenerative powers and can come back again and again even if completely obliterated. Basically the only theoretical way to stop it forever is to freeze it.

* Panasonic's [[wikipedia:Toughbook|Toughbook]] laptops have a indestructium casing (aka “magnesium alloy”) and also make for good [http://www.trustedreviews.com/laptops/review/2005/11/24/Panasonic-ToughBook-CF-29-Rugged-Notebook/p2 bulletproofing].

* A company called Pelican makes padded and ''very'' sturdy containers for various uses. One of their ads tells how a US Special Forces team in Iraq blew up a damaged helicopter to keep its contents from falling into enemy hands. They used two Maverick missiles, which can be tank-killers. A few days later, the team went back to the helicopter and found their Pelican-made case intact with only minor burns and a broken latch. Its contents (lots of sensitive electronics and a block of C-4 explosive) were unharmed. The ad sums up: "Frankly, we don't want to know what it would take."

He went to a trade show, placed it across two chairs, and proceeded to jump on a piece of wood about an inch and a half wide multiple times, repeatedly putting the full weight of a grown man on that tiny part. Then he picked it up, and it was in-tune. Hell, most of them even today have a completely user-dismantleable design so in the off chance you toss it in a volcano and something does break, it's an easy fix.

* Apple achieved this with the iPod Touch. People have even shot them at point blank, and the screen worked everywhere except for the bullet hole. And maybe even there.
