 Actually, I think some clarification needs is in order.

 If you are protected, you will take less damage, but your items are in now way
better protected.  The item that gives you the protection is better protected,
however.

 If you are immune, you won't take damage, but as above, it does nothing for
your items.  The item that grants immunity will not be harmed in any way.

 If you are both immune and protected, then your items are fully protected.
