* ''[[Touhou]] Soccer'' has [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqWRe_ZYyiw this soccer ball]. What happens in this video is actually a pretty minor punishment compared to some others... Compared to, say... ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkDT-OlkYTI this]''.
** It's worth mentioning that Ran's shot does bisect it, but it reforms almost instantly.
* In ''[[Razing Storm]]'', the shield you use to [[Take Cover]] withstands not only relatively mundane regular shots, missiles, lasers and plasma, but also ramming from [[Mini -Mecha]] or [[Humongous Mecha]], falling building debris and a [[Wave Motion Gun]].
* The briefcase from ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]''. While hails of gunfire, flames, explosions and everything else goes on around it, the flag sits exactly where it was left, calmly rotating 6 inches above the surface of the floor. Actually, most anything that isn't directly used by the classes themselves seems to be effectively indestructible.
* The Shinra building in the ''[[Final Fantasy VII|Final Fantasy VII Compilation]]'' appears to fit the trope. ''[http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Dirge%20of%20Cerberus/Update%2064/4-ending58.jpg This]'' is what it looks like after Diamond Weapon, Meteor, the Lifestream, Sephiroth, Cloud, Chaos and Omega all threw everything they had at it.

* For most of human history, diamond has been effectively indestructible under the cutting tools available. No wonder that one of its oldest names, ''adamant'', is the root for the names of some of fiction's most indestructible metals. On the other hand, that's a measure of its ''hardness'', or the difficulty of scratching it. It's much easier to destroy through blunt impact, being fairly brittle.
* The ''[[Top Gear]]'' crew tested the supposed indestructible qualities of the Toyota Hilux, as seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnWKz7Cthkk here]. [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|It lived up to the hype.]]
* Panasonic's [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/: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." Also, Pelican's slogan is apparently, "You break it, we replace it...forever."
* [[Ozzy Osbourne]] is almost perfectly healthy nowadays (as well as [[Immune to Drugs]]) because [http://www.indyposted.com/123988/scientists-say-ozzy-osbourne-is-a-genetic-mutant-are-you-surprised/ of a mutation in his genes that makes them this trope].
