ive seen the 2hand mod, the sheild mod, but it would seem to work better to protect your backside, to help against backstabs, getting snuck up upon by creepers zombies, or a skeleton. simply a warning system, the wooden sheild could take 5 hits, the iron one 10 hits, and the diamond 20.
im sure weve all hit that situation in a cave where that one mob sneaks up behind us and backstabs us... could help alot for a quick defence. 5 hits on the wooden one because it is SO cheap. then it poofs into nothingness like all the other items!
it could look something like the capes notch gave us, but more of a sheild shape. probably could be tweaked with a texturepack too.
So... a piece of armor that is only useful while your back is turned. Let me think, so if I'm at full health and I get hit from behind I'm ok. So good so far. If I'm at low health and I see a creeper my best bet of survival is to turn my backside to it even if I can't run.
Don't see a problem, actually sounds like a surprisingly good and original idea.
I hate how when I was wondering what game this was in... my answer was CoD.
It's a good idea... but I hate that it's from CoD.
It's been in a few others. But CoD is the most popular one.
When did we get capes? And this sounds sort of unnecessary...We already have armor for that.
we had capes around the new years. we had a 2011 cape, and a christmas cape. its still in the game, and there are mods that let you use them again. ( dont know where to put the files though >.> )
I'd support this if it was only iron, and only took one or two hits. Enough to defend against surprise creepers, not enough to pointlessly add more armor.

I though it was from the Midevil age....
To The OP:
Had the same idea, nice to see someone else had the same one too
I will be using them soon
I'm Starting to be known as a Balancer, A.K.A. I'm starting to become pessimist
ive never played CoD, this idea came to me a little bit ago.
A riot shield that is un-equiped puts it on your back. This makes you take less damage when hit in the back.
btw: I played it a long time ago... so I just happened to remember it

[troll] I guess this is proof that CoD isn't very original, if so many people can think up the same thing. [/troll]
A shield on your back isn't original... not really a troll

not "original" but.. usefull. /somewhatoftopic = how would i search this if it was suggested? "minecraft sheilds on back" ... umm... ya... /ontopic...
could help when you get stuck between a rock , a hard place, and TNT. just turn your back to tnt, and you shouldnt die.
and, this isnt usefull in normal combat, this is better for last resort defence and for defence against supprises
