Well, but the body alone was given credits as very durable (at least, by human standarts), not just his lightning armour. Otherwise, only the armour of his would be known as "the strongest shield" and not the body as a whole, though combined with the armour as well. Also, it was Raikage whose flesh was compared to the steel and blood - to the iron (however, I admit that could be an exaggeration more or less).
